P-POSSUM as mortality predictor in COVID-19-infected patients submitted to emergency digestive surgery. A retrospective cohort study
2021, International Journal of SurgeryCitation Excerpt :However, raw mortality rate is difficult to evaluate without adequate risk stratification. Different predictive scores for surgical risk have been designed to assign an adjusted risk of postoperative complications and/or mortality in surgical patients [1–6]. These scores can help to identify “high risk” patients who could benefit from intensified peri- and postoperative care, including early postoperative admission in ICU units or even referral to other centers [3].
Perioperative complications following bariatric surgery according to the clavien-dindo classification. Score validation, literature review and results in a single-centre series
2017, Surgery for Obesity and Related DiseasesCitation Excerpt :The validation process consists of determining whether the instrument we are using “really measures what it has to measure.” As the validation process follows some very specifically established steps, it should be applied obligatorily in all studies of this type [27]. The first step is to translate the scale, in the event that it has been originally described in a language different to one’s own.
High-risk surgery: Epidemiology and outcomes
2011, Anesthesia and AnalgesiaCitation Excerpt :The Surgical Risk Score,40 and the later modification of it by Donati et al.,41 are based on the ASA-PS system, but also include details of the proposed surgical procedure; both systems demonstrate improved predictive accuracy compared with the ASA-PS system used alone. However, caution should be exerted when considering the use of any of these models for clinical decision making on whether to proceed with a proposed intervention, because they demonstrate variable predictive precision, particularly at the extremes of age42,43 and calculated risk.44–46 Furthermore, although a direct comparison of risk stratification models revealed POSSUM to be superior to ASA-PS and Charlson for the prediction of 30-day morbidity, none of these systems was an accurate predictor of 90-day mortality.47
