The Risk Assessment and Prediction Tool (RAPT) was developed and validated to predict discharge disposition after primary total hip and knee arthroplasty (THA/TKA). To date, there are no studies evaluating the applicability and accuracy of RAPT for revision THA/TKA. This study aims to determine the predictive accuracy of the RAPT for revision THA/TKA. ⋯ The RAPT has high predictive accuracy for discharge planning in revision THA/TKA patients. Patient-expected discharge destination is a powerful modulator of the RAPT score and we suggest that it be taken into consideration for preoperative discharge planning.
