Mayer DA Wigmore SJ Buckels JAbull BACKGROUND Pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) is associated with high incidence of

morbidity and mortality We have applied P-POSSUM in predicting the incidence of outcome after PD to identify those who are at the highest risk of developing complications METHOD A prospective database of 241 consecutive patients who had PD from January 2002 to September 2005 was retrospectively updated and analysed P-POSSUM score was calculated for each patient and correlated with observed morbidity and mortality RESULTS 30 days mortality was 78 and morbidity was 448 Mean physiological score was 1607 +- 330 Mean operative score was 1367 +- 342 Mean operative score rose to 2028 +- 252 for the complex major operation (p lt 0001) with 2 fold increase in morbidity and 35 fold increase in mortality For groups of patients with a physiological score of (less than or equal to) 18 the OP (observed to Predicted) morbidity ratio was 13-14 and with a physiological score of gt18 the OP ratio was nearer to 1 Physiological score and white cell count were significant in a multivariate model CONCLUSION P-POSSUM underestimated the mortality rate While P-POSSUM analysis gave a truer prediction of morbidity underestimation of morbidity and potential for systematic inaccuracy in prediction of complications at lower risk levels is a significant issue for pancreatic surgery

bull AIM To establish a scoring system for predicting the incidence of postoperative complications and mortality in general surgery based on the physiological and operative severity score for the enumeration of mortality and morbidity (POSSUM) and to evaluate its effi cacy

bull METHODS Eighty-four patients with postoperative complications or death and 172 patients without postoperative complications who underwent surgery in our department during the previous 2 years were retrospectively analyzed by logistic regression Fifteen indexes were investigated including age cardiovascular function respiratory function blood test results endocrine function central nervous system function hepatic function renal function nutritional status extent of operative trauma and course of anesthesia Modifi ed POSSUM (M-POSSUM) was developed using significant risk factors with its effi cacy evaluated

bull RESULTS The significant risk factors were found to be age cardiovascular function respiratory function hepatic function renal function blood test results endocrine function nutritional status duration of operation intraoperative blood loss and course of anesthesia These factors were all included in the scoring system There were signifi cant differences in the scores between the patients with and without postoperative complications between the patients died and survived with complications and between the patients died and survived without complications The receiver operating characteristic curves showed that the M-POSSUM could accurately predict postoperative complications and mortality

bull CONCLUSION M-POSSUM correlates well with postoperative complications and mortality and is more accurate than POSSUM

physiological and operative severityscore for the enumeration of mortality and morbidity

(POSSUM)

bull POSSUM is limited by its somewhat subjective nature and incomplete evaluation of cardiac signs We propose the modified POSSUM (M-POSSUM)as a reasonable practical and objective scoring system that can be used across a broad disease spectrum in general surgery

bull BACKGROUND Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Models (VBHOM) adopted the approach of using a minimum data set to model outcome This study aimed to test such a model on a cohort of patients undergoing open elective and non-elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair METHODS A binary logistic regression model of risk of in-hospital mortality was built from the 2002-2004 submission to the UK National Vascular Database (NVD) (2718 patients) The subset of NVD data items used comprised serum levels of urea sodium and potassium haemoglobin white cell count sex age and mode of admission The model was applied prospectively using Hosmer-Lemeshow methodology to a test data set from the Cambridge Vascular Unit RESULTS The validation set contained 327 patients of whom 208 had elective AAA repair and 119 had emergency repair of a ruptured AAA Outcome following elective and non-elective AAA repair could be described accurately using the same model The overall mean predicted risk of death was 1413 per cent and 48 deaths were predicted The actual number of deaths was 53 (chi(2) = 840 10 df P = 0590 no evidence of lack of fit) The model also demonstrated good discrimination (c-index = 0852) CONCLUSION The VBHOM approach has the advantage of using simple objective clinical data that are easy to collect routinely The VBHOM data items potentially allow prediction of risk in an individual patient before aneurysm surgery (c) 2007 British Journal of

bull BACKGROUND amp OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to apply three simple risk - scoring systems to prospectively collected data on all elective open Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) operations in the Cambridge Academic Vascular Unit over a 6 - year period (January 1998 to January 2004) to compare their predictive values and to evaluate their validity with respect to prediction of mortality and post-operative complications METHODS 204 patients underwent elective open infra-renal AAA repair Data were prospectively collected and risk assessment scores were calculated for mortality and morbidity according to the Glasgow Aneurysm Score (GAS) VBHOM (Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Models) and Estimation of Physiologic Ability and Surgical Stress (E-PASS) RESULTS The mortality rate was 63 (13204) and 59 (121204) experienced a post-operative complication (30-day outcome) For GAS VBHOM and E-PASS the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve analysis for prediction of in-hospital mortality showed area under the curve (AUC) of 084 (95 confidence interval [CI] 076 to 092 plt00001) 082 (95 CI 068 to 095 p=00001) and 092 (95 CI 087 to 097 plt00001) respectively There were also significant correlations between post-operative complications and length of hospital stay and each of the three scores but the correlation was substantially higher in the case of E-PASS CONCLUSIONS All three scoring systems accurately predicted the risk of mortality and morbidity in patients undergoing elective open AAA repair Among these E-PASS seemed to be the most accurate predictor in this patient population

Systematic Review of Current EvidencePatterson BO Holt PJ Hinchliffe R Loftus IM Thompson MM

bull OBJECTIVE To examine and compare existing pre-operative risk prediction methods for elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair DESIGN Systematic review METHODS Medline EMBASE and the Cochrane library were searched for articles that related to risk prediction models used for elective AAA repair RESULTS 680 abstracts were reviewed and after exclusions 28 articles encompassing 10 risk models were identified The most frequently studied of these were the Glasgow Aneurysm Score (GAS) the Physiological and Operative Severity Score for enUmeration of Mortality (POSSUM) predictor equation and the Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Model (VBHOM) All models had strengths and weaknesses and some had unique features which were identified and discussed CONCLUSION The GAS appeared to be the most useful and consistently validated score at present for open repair Other systems were either not validated fully or were not consistently accurate Some had significant drawbacks which appeared to severely limit their clinical application Recent work has shown that no scores consistently predicted the risk associated with endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) Pre-operative risk stratification is a vital component of modern surgical practice and we propose the need for a comprehensive new risk scoring method for AAA repair incorporating anatomical and physiological data

Apache IIIbull the APACHE III is used to produce an equation predicting hospital mortality

after the first day of ICU treatment There are 4 components age major disease category (reason for ICU admission) acute (current) physiology and prior site of healthcare (eg hospital floor emergency room etc) The physiologic variables require scoring of the following vital sign and laboratory abnormalities pulse rate mean blood pressure temperature respiratory rate PaO2P (A-a) O2 hematocrit white blood cell count creatinine urine output blood urea nitrogen serum sodium albumin bilirubin glucose acid-base status and neurologic status

bull The last 2 physiologic parameters are hybrid values specific to APACHE III [3] It is important to note that an additional scoring variable must be used to update the APACHE III score based on changes in the patients physiologic status

bull We compared the performance of SAPS 3 with SAPS II and the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score in surgical ICU patients

bull Methods Prospectively collected data from all patients admitted to a German university hospital postoperative ICU between August 2004 and December 2005 were analysed The probability of ICU mortality was calculated for SAPS II APACHE II adjusted APACHE II (adj-APACHE II) SAPS 3 and SAPS 3 customized for Europe [C-SAPS3 (Eu)] using standard formulas To improve calibration of the prognostic models a first-level customization was performed using logistic regression on the original scores and the corresponding probability of ICU death was calculated for the customized scores (C-SAPS II C-SAPS 3 and C-APACHE II)

bull Results The study included 1851 patients Hospital mortality was 9 Hosmer and Lemeshow statistics showed poor calibration for SAPS II APACHE II adj-APACHE II SAPS 3 and C-SAPS 3 (Eu) but good calibration for C-SAPS II C-APACHE II and C-SAPS 3 Discrimination was generally good for all models [area under the receiver operating characteristic curve ranged from 078 (C-APACHE II) to 089 (C-SAPS 3)] The C-SAPS 3 score appeared to have the best calibration curve on visual inspection

bull Conclusions In this group of surgical ICU patients the performance of SAPS 3 was similar to that of APACHE II and SAPS II Customization improved the calibration of all prognostic models

Mayer DA Wigmore SJ Buckels JAbull BACKGROUND Pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) is associated with high incidence of

morbidity and mortality We have applied P-POSSUM in predicting the incidence of outcome after PD to identify those who are at the highest risk of developing complications METHOD A prospective database of 241 consecutive patients who had PD from January 2002 to September 2005 was retrospectively updated and analysed P-POSSUM score was calculated for each patient and correlated with observed morbidity and mortality RESULTS 30 days mortality was 78 and morbidity was 448 Mean physiological score was 1607 +- 330 Mean operative score was 1367 +- 342 Mean operative score rose to 2028 +- 252 for the complex major operation (p lt 0001) with 2 fold increase in morbidity and 35 fold increase in mortality For groups of patients with a physiological score of (less than or equal to) 18 the OP (observed to Predicted) morbidity ratio was 13-14 and with a physiological score of gt18 the OP ratio was nearer to 1 Physiological score and white cell count were significant in a multivariate model CONCLUSION P-POSSUM underestimated the mortality rate While P-POSSUM analysis gave a truer prediction of morbidity underestimation of morbidity and potential for systematic inaccuracy in prediction of complications at lower risk levels is a significant issue for pancreatic surgery

bull AIM To establish a scoring system for predicting the incidence of postoperative complications and mortality in general surgery based on the physiological and operative severity score for the enumeration of mortality and morbidity (POSSUM) and to evaluate its effi cacy

bull METHODS Eighty-four patients with postoperative complications or death and 172 patients without postoperative complications who underwent surgery in our department during the previous 2 years were retrospectively analyzed by logistic regression Fifteen indexes were investigated including age cardiovascular function respiratory function blood test results endocrine function central nervous system function hepatic function renal function nutritional status extent of operative trauma and course of anesthesia Modifi ed POSSUM (M-POSSUM) was developed using significant risk factors with its effi cacy evaluated

bull RESULTS The significant risk factors were found to be age cardiovascular function respiratory function hepatic function renal function blood test results endocrine function nutritional status duration of operation intraoperative blood loss and course of anesthesia These factors were all included in the scoring system There were signifi cant differences in the scores between the patients with and without postoperative complications between the patients died and survived with complications and between the patients died and survived without complications The receiver operating characteristic curves showed that the M-POSSUM could accurately predict postoperative complications and mortality

bull CONCLUSION M-POSSUM correlates well with postoperative complications and mortality and is more accurate than POSSUM

physiological and operative severityscore for the enumeration of mortality and morbidity

(POSSUM)

bull POSSUM is limited by its somewhat subjective nature and incomplete evaluation of cardiac signs We propose the modified POSSUM (M-POSSUM)as a reasonable practical and objective scoring system that can be used across a broad disease spectrum in general surgery

bull BACKGROUND Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Models (VBHOM) adopted the approach of using a minimum data set to model outcome This study aimed to test such a model on a cohort of patients undergoing open elective and non-elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair METHODS A binary logistic regression model of risk of in-hospital mortality was built from the 2002-2004 submission to the UK National Vascular Database (NVD) (2718 patients) The subset of NVD data items used comprised serum levels of urea sodium and potassium haemoglobin white cell count sex age and mode of admission The model was applied prospectively using Hosmer-Lemeshow methodology to a test data set from the Cambridge Vascular Unit RESULTS The validation set contained 327 patients of whom 208 had elective AAA repair and 119 had emergency repair of a ruptured AAA Outcome following elective and non-elective AAA repair could be described accurately using the same model The overall mean predicted risk of death was 1413 per cent and 48 deaths were predicted The actual number of deaths was 53 (chi(2) = 840 10 df P = 0590 no evidence of lack of fit) The model also demonstrated good discrimination (c-index = 0852) CONCLUSION The VBHOM approach has the advantage of using simple objective clinical data that are easy to collect routinely The VBHOM data items potentially allow prediction of risk in an individual patient before aneurysm surgery (c) 2007 British Journal of

bull BACKGROUND amp OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to apply three simple risk - scoring systems to prospectively collected data on all elective open Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) operations in the Cambridge Academic Vascular Unit over a 6 - year period (January 1998 to January 2004) to compare their predictive values and to evaluate their validity with respect to prediction of mortality and post-operative complications METHODS 204 patients underwent elective open infra-renal AAA repair Data were prospectively collected and risk assessment scores were calculated for mortality and morbidity according to the Glasgow Aneurysm Score (GAS) VBHOM (Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Models) and Estimation of Physiologic Ability and Surgical Stress (E-PASS) RESULTS The mortality rate was 63 (13204) and 59 (121204) experienced a post-operative complication (30-day outcome) For GAS VBHOM and E-PASS the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve analysis for prediction of in-hospital mortality showed area under the curve (AUC) of 084 (95 confidence interval [CI] 076 to 092 plt00001) 082 (95 CI 068 to 095 p=00001) and 092 (95 CI 087 to 097 plt00001) respectively There were also significant correlations between post-operative complications and length of hospital stay and each of the three scores but the correlation was substantially higher in the case of E-PASS CONCLUSIONS All three scoring systems accurately predicted the risk of mortality and morbidity in patients undergoing elective open AAA repair Among these E-PASS seemed to be the most accurate predictor in this patient population

Systematic Review of Current EvidencePatterson BO Holt PJ Hinchliffe R Loftus IM Thompson MM

bull OBJECTIVE To examine and compare existing pre-operative risk prediction methods for elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair DESIGN Systematic review METHODS Medline EMBASE and the Cochrane library were searched for articles that related to risk prediction models used for elective AAA repair RESULTS 680 abstracts were reviewed and after exclusions 28 articles encompassing 10 risk models were identified The most frequently studied of these were the Glasgow Aneurysm Score (GAS) the Physiological and Operative Severity Score for enUmeration of Mortality (POSSUM) predictor equation and the Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Model (VBHOM) All models had strengths and weaknesses and some had unique features which were identified and discussed CONCLUSION The GAS appeared to be the most useful and consistently validated score at present for open repair Other systems were either not validated fully or were not consistently accurate Some had significant drawbacks which appeared to severely limit their clinical application Recent work has shown that no scores consistently predicted the risk associated with endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) Pre-operative risk stratification is a vital component of modern surgical practice and we propose the need for a comprehensive new risk scoring method for AAA repair incorporating anatomical and physiological data

Apache IIIbull the APACHE III is used to produce an equation predicting hospital mortality

after the first day of ICU treatment There are 4 components age major disease category (reason for ICU admission) acute (current) physiology and prior site of healthcare (eg hospital floor emergency room etc) The physiologic variables require scoring of the following vital sign and laboratory abnormalities pulse rate mean blood pressure temperature respiratory rate PaO2P (A-a) O2 hematocrit white blood cell count creatinine urine output blood urea nitrogen serum sodium albumin bilirubin glucose acid-base status and neurologic status

bull The last 2 physiologic parameters are hybrid values specific to APACHE III [3] It is important to note that an additional scoring variable must be used to update the APACHE III score based on changes in the patients physiologic status

bull We compared the performance of SAPS 3 with SAPS II and the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score in surgical ICU patients

bull Methods Prospectively collected data from all patients admitted to a German university hospital postoperative ICU between August 2004 and December 2005 were analysed The probability of ICU mortality was calculated for SAPS II APACHE II adjusted APACHE II (adj-APACHE II) SAPS 3 and SAPS 3 customized for Europe [C-SAPS3 (Eu)] using standard formulas To improve calibration of the prognostic models a first-level customization was performed using logistic regression on the original scores and the corresponding probability of ICU death was calculated for the customized scores (C-SAPS II C-SAPS 3 and C-APACHE II)

bull Results The study included 1851 patients Hospital mortality was 9 Hosmer and Lemeshow statistics showed poor calibration for SAPS II APACHE II adj-APACHE II SAPS 3 and C-SAPS 3 (Eu) but good calibration for C-SAPS II C-APACHE II and C-SAPS 3 Discrimination was generally good for all models [area under the receiver operating characteristic curve ranged from 078 (C-APACHE II) to 089 (C-SAPS 3)] The C-SAPS 3 score appeared to have the best calibration curve on visual inspection

bull Conclusions In this group of surgical ICU patients the performance of SAPS 3 was similar to that of APACHE II and SAPS II Customization improved the calibration of all prognostic models

Mayer DA Wigmore SJ Buckels JAbull BACKGROUND Pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) is associated with high incidence of

morbidity and mortality We have applied P-POSSUM in predicting the incidence of outcome after PD to identify those who are at the highest risk of developing complications METHOD A prospective database of 241 consecutive patients who had PD from January 2002 to September 2005 was retrospectively updated and analysed P-POSSUM score was calculated for each patient and correlated with observed morbidity and mortality RESULTS 30 days mortality was 78 and morbidity was 448 Mean physiological score was 1607 +- 330 Mean operative score was 1367 +- 342 Mean operative score rose to 2028 +- 252 for the complex major operation (p lt 0001) with 2 fold increase in morbidity and 35 fold increase in mortality For groups of patients with a physiological score of (less than or equal to) 18 the OP (observed to Predicted) morbidity ratio was 13-14 and with a physiological score of gt18 the OP ratio was nearer to 1 Physiological score and white cell count were significant in a multivariate model CONCLUSION P-POSSUM underestimated the mortality rate While P-POSSUM analysis gave a truer prediction of morbidity underestimation of morbidity and potential for systematic inaccuracy in prediction of complications at lower risk levels is a significant issue for pancreatic surgery

bull AIM To establish a scoring system for predicting the incidence of postoperative complications and mortality in general surgery based on the physiological and operative severity score for the enumeration of mortality and morbidity (POSSUM) and to evaluate its effi cacy

bull METHODS Eighty-four patients with postoperative complications or death and 172 patients without postoperative complications who underwent surgery in our department during the previous 2 years were retrospectively analyzed by logistic regression Fifteen indexes were investigated including age cardiovascular function respiratory function blood test results endocrine function central nervous system function hepatic function renal function nutritional status extent of operative trauma and course of anesthesia Modifi ed POSSUM (M-POSSUM) was developed using significant risk factors with its effi cacy evaluated

bull RESULTS The significant risk factors were found to be age cardiovascular function respiratory function hepatic function renal function blood test results endocrine function nutritional status duration of operation intraoperative blood loss and course of anesthesia These factors were all included in the scoring system There were signifi cant differences in the scores between the patients with and without postoperative complications between the patients died and survived with complications and between the patients died and survived without complications The receiver operating characteristic curves showed that the M-POSSUM could accurately predict postoperative complications and mortality

bull CONCLUSION M-POSSUM correlates well with postoperative complications and mortality and is more accurate than POSSUM

physiological and operative severityscore for the enumeration of mortality and morbidity

(POSSUM)

bull POSSUM is limited by its somewhat subjective nature and incomplete evaluation of cardiac signs We propose the modified POSSUM (M-POSSUM)as a reasonable practical and objective scoring system that can be used across a broad disease spectrum in general surgery

bull BACKGROUND Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Models (VBHOM) adopted the approach of using a minimum data set to model outcome This study aimed to test such a model on a cohort of patients undergoing open elective and non-elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair METHODS A binary logistic regression model of risk of in-hospital mortality was built from the 2002-2004 submission to the UK National Vascular Database (NVD) (2718 patients) The subset of NVD data items used comprised serum levels of urea sodium and potassium haemoglobin white cell count sex age and mode of admission The model was applied prospectively using Hosmer-Lemeshow methodology to a test data set from the Cambridge Vascular Unit RESULTS The validation set contained 327 patients of whom 208 had elective AAA repair and 119 had emergency repair of a ruptured AAA Outcome following elective and non-elective AAA repair could be described accurately using the same model The overall mean predicted risk of death was 1413 per cent and 48 deaths were predicted The actual number of deaths was 53 (chi(2) = 840 10 df P = 0590 no evidence of lack of fit) The model also demonstrated good discrimination (c-index = 0852) CONCLUSION The VBHOM approach has the advantage of using simple objective clinical data that are easy to collect routinely The VBHOM data items potentially allow prediction of risk in an individual patient before aneurysm surgery (c) 2007 British Journal of

bull BACKGROUND amp OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to apply three simple risk - scoring systems to prospectively collected data on all elective open Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) operations in the Cambridge Academic Vascular Unit over a 6 - year period (January 1998 to January 2004) to compare their predictive values and to evaluate their validity with respect to prediction of mortality and post-operative complications METHODS 204 patients underwent elective open infra-renal AAA repair Data were prospectively collected and risk assessment scores were calculated for mortality and morbidity according to the Glasgow Aneurysm Score (GAS) VBHOM (Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Models) and Estimation of Physiologic Ability and Surgical Stress (E-PASS) RESULTS The mortality rate was 63 (13204) and 59 (121204) experienced a post-operative complication (30-day outcome) For GAS VBHOM and E-PASS the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve analysis for prediction of in-hospital mortality showed area under the curve (AUC) of 084 (95 confidence interval [CI] 076 to 092 plt00001) 082 (95 CI 068 to 095 p=00001) and 092 (95 CI 087 to 097 plt00001) respectively There were also significant correlations between post-operative complications and length of hospital stay and each of the three scores but the correlation was substantially higher in the case of E-PASS CONCLUSIONS All three scoring systems accurately predicted the risk of mortality and morbidity in patients undergoing elective open AAA repair Among these E-PASS seemed to be the most accurate predictor in this patient population

bull OBJECTIVE To examine and compare existing pre-operative risk prediction methods for elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair DESIGN Systematic review METHODS Medline EMBASE and the Cochrane library were searched for articles that related to risk prediction models used for elective AAA repair RESULTS 680 abstracts were reviewed and after exclusions 28 articles encompassing 10 risk models were identified The most frequently studied of these were the Glasgow Aneurysm Score (GAS) the Physiological and Operative Severity Score for enUmeration of Mortality (POSSUM) predictor equation and the Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Model (VBHOM) All models had strengths and weaknesses and some had unique features which were identified and discussed CONCLUSION The GAS appeared to be the most useful and consistently validated score at present for open repair Other systems were either not validated fully or were not consistently accurate Some had significant drawbacks which appeared to severely limit their clinical application Recent work has shown that no scores consistently predicted the risk associated with endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) Pre-operative risk stratification is a vital component of modern surgical practice and we propose the need for a comprehensive new risk scoring method for AAA repair incorporating anatomical and physiological data

Apache IIIbull the APACHE III is used to produce an equation predicting hospital mortality

after the first day of ICU treatment There are 4 components age major disease category (reason for ICU admission) acute (current) physiology and prior site of healthcare (eg hospital floor emergency room etc) The physiologic variables require scoring of the following vital sign and laboratory abnormalities pulse rate mean blood pressure temperature respiratory rate PaO2P (A-a) O2 hematocrit white blood cell count creatinine urine output blood urea nitrogen serum sodium albumin bilirubin glucose acid-base status and neurologic status

bull The last 2 physiologic parameters are hybrid values specific to APACHE III [3] It is important to note that an additional scoring variable must be used to update the APACHE III score based on changes in the patients physiologic status

bull We compared the performance of SAPS 3 with SAPS II and the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score in surgical ICU patients

bull Methods Prospectively collected data from all patients admitted to a German university hospital postoperative ICU between August 2004 and December 2005 were analysed The probability of ICU mortality was calculated for SAPS II APACHE II adjusted APACHE II (adj-APACHE II) SAPS 3 and SAPS 3 customized for Europe [C-SAPS3 (Eu)] using standard formulas To improve calibration of the prognostic models a first-level customization was performed using logistic regression on the original scores and the corresponding probability of ICU death was calculated for the customized scores (C-SAPS II C-SAPS 3 and C-APACHE II)

bull Results The study included 1851 patients Hospital mortality was 9 Hosmer and Lemeshow statistics showed poor calibration for SAPS II APACHE II adj-APACHE II SAPS 3 and C-SAPS 3 (Eu) but good calibration for C-SAPS II C-APACHE II and C-SAPS 3 Discrimination was generally good for all models [area under the receiver operating characteristic curve ranged from 078 (C-APACHE II) to 089 (C-SAPS 3)] The C-SAPS 3 score appeared to have the best calibration curve on visual inspection

bull Conclusions In this group of surgical ICU patients the performance of SAPS 3 was similar to that of APACHE II and SAPS II Customization improved the calibration of all prognostic models

Mayer DA Wigmore SJ Buckels JAbull BACKGROUND Pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) is associated with high incidence of

morbidity and mortality We have applied P-POSSUM in predicting the incidence of outcome after PD to identify those who are at the highest risk of developing complications METHOD A prospective database of 241 consecutive patients who had PD from January 2002 to September 2005 was retrospectively updated and analysed P-POSSUM score was calculated for each patient and correlated with observed morbidity and mortality RESULTS 30 days mortality was 78 and morbidity was 448 Mean physiological score was 1607 +- 330 Mean operative score was 1367 +- 342 Mean operative score rose to 2028 +- 252 for the complex major operation (p lt 0001) with 2 fold increase in morbidity and 35 fold increase in mortality For groups of patients with a physiological score of (less than or equal to) 18 the OP (observed to Predicted) morbidity ratio was 13-14 and with a physiological score of gt18 the OP ratio was nearer to 1 Physiological score and white cell count were significant in a multivariate model CONCLUSION P-POSSUM underestimated the mortality rate While P-POSSUM analysis gave a truer prediction of morbidity underestimation of morbidity and potential for systematic inaccuracy in prediction of complications at lower risk levels is a significant issue for pancreatic surgery

bull AIM To establish a scoring system for predicting the incidence of postoperative complications and mortality in general surgery based on the physiological and operative severity score for the enumeration of mortality and morbidity (POSSUM) and to evaluate its effi cacy

bull METHODS Eighty-four patients with postoperative complications or death and 172 patients without postoperative complications who underwent surgery in our department during the previous 2 years were retrospectively analyzed by logistic regression Fifteen indexes were investigated including age cardiovascular function respiratory function blood test results endocrine function central nervous system function hepatic function renal function nutritional status extent of operative trauma and course of anesthesia Modifi ed POSSUM (M-POSSUM) was developed using significant risk factors with its effi cacy evaluated

bull RESULTS The significant risk factors were found to be age cardiovascular function respiratory function hepatic function renal function blood test results endocrine function nutritional status duration of operation intraoperative blood loss and course of anesthesia These factors were all included in the scoring system There were signifi cant differences in the scores between the patients with and without postoperative complications between the patients died and survived with complications and between the patients died and survived without complications The receiver operating characteristic curves showed that the M-POSSUM could accurately predict postoperative complications and mortality

bull CONCLUSION M-POSSUM correlates well with postoperative complications and mortality and is more accurate than POSSUM

physiological and operative severityscore for the enumeration of mortality and morbidity

(POSSUM)

bull POSSUM is limited by its somewhat subjective nature and incomplete evaluation of cardiac signs We propose the modified POSSUM (M-POSSUM)as a reasonable practical and objective scoring system that can be used across a broad disease spectrum in general surgery

bull BACKGROUND Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Models (VBHOM) adopted the approach of using a minimum data set to model outcome This study aimed to test such a model on a cohort of patients undergoing open elective and non-elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair METHODS A binary logistic regression model of risk of in-hospital mortality was built from the 2002-2004 submission to the UK National Vascular Database (NVD) (2718 patients) The subset of NVD data items used comprised serum levels of urea sodium and potassium haemoglobin white cell count sex age and mode of admission The model was applied prospectively using Hosmer-Lemeshow methodology to a test data set from the Cambridge Vascular Unit RESULTS The validation set contained 327 patients of whom 208 had elective AAA repair and 119 had emergency repair of a ruptured AAA Outcome following elective and non-elective AAA repair could be described accurately using the same model The overall mean predicted risk of death was 1413 per cent and 48 deaths were predicted The actual number of deaths was 53 (chi(2) = 840 10 df P = 0590 no evidence of lack of fit) The model also demonstrated good discrimination (c-index = 0852) CONCLUSION The VBHOM approach has the advantage of using simple objective clinical data that are easy to collect routinely The VBHOM data items potentially allow prediction of risk in an individual patient before aneurysm surgery (c) 2007 British Journal of

bull BACKGROUND amp OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to apply three simple risk - scoring systems to prospectively collected data on all elective open Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) operations in the Cambridge Academic Vascular Unit over a 6 - year period (January 1998 to January 2004) to compare their predictive values and to evaluate their validity with respect to prediction of mortality and post-operative complications METHODS 204 patients underwent elective open infra-renal AAA repair Data were prospectively collected and risk assessment scores were calculated for mortality and morbidity according to the Glasgow Aneurysm Score (GAS) VBHOM (Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Models) and Estimation of Physiologic Ability and Surgical Stress (E-PASS) RESULTS The mortality rate was 63 (13204) and 59 (121204) experienced a post-operative complication (30-day outcome) For GAS VBHOM and E-PASS the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve analysis for prediction of in-hospital mortality showed area under the curve (AUC) of 084 (95 confidence interval [CI] 076 to 092 plt00001) 082 (95 CI 068 to 095 p=00001) and 092 (95 CI 087 to 097 plt00001) respectively There were also significant correlations between post-operative complications and length of hospital stay and each of the three scores but the correlation was substantially higher in the case of E-PASS CONCLUSIONS All three scoring systems accurately predicted the risk of mortality and morbidity in patients undergoing elective open AAA repair Among these E-PASS seemed to be the most accurate predictor in this patient population

Systematic Review of Current EvidencePatterson BO Holt PJ Hinchliffe R Loftus IM Thompson MM

bull OBJECTIVE To examine and compare existing pre-operative risk prediction methods for elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair DESIGN Systematic review METHODS Medline EMBASE and the Cochrane library were searched for articles that related to risk prediction models used for elective AAA repair RESULTS 680 abstracts were reviewed and after exclusions 28 articles encompassing 10 risk models were identified The most frequently studied of these were the Glasgow Aneurysm Score (GAS) the Physiological and Operative Severity Score for enUmeration of Mortality (POSSUM) predictor equation and the Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Model (VBHOM) All models had strengths and weaknesses and some had unique features which were identified and discussed CONCLUSION The GAS appeared to be the most useful and consistently validated score at present for open repair Other systems were either not validated fully or were not consistently accurate Some had significant drawbacks which appeared to severely limit their clinical application Recent work has shown that no scores consistently predicted the risk associated with endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) Pre-operative risk stratification is a vital component of modern surgical practice and we propose the need for a comprehensive new risk scoring method for AAA repair incorporating anatomical and physiological data

Apache IIIbull the APACHE III is used to produce an equation predicting hospital mortality

after the first day of ICU treatment There are 4 components age major disease category (reason for ICU admission) acute (current) physiology and prior site of healthcare (eg hospital floor emergency room etc) The physiologic variables require scoring of the following vital sign and laboratory abnormalities pulse rate mean blood pressure temperature respiratory rate PaO2P (A-a) O2 hematocrit white blood cell count creatinine urine output blood urea nitrogen serum sodium albumin bilirubin glucose acid-base status and neurologic status

bull The last 2 physiologic parameters are hybrid values specific to APACHE III [3] It is important to note that an additional scoring variable must be used to update the APACHE III score based on changes in the patients physiologic status

bull We compared the performance of SAPS 3 with SAPS II and the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score in surgical ICU patients

bull Methods Prospectively collected data from all patients admitted to a German university hospital postoperative ICU between August 2004 and December 2005 were analysed The probability of ICU mortality was calculated for SAPS II APACHE II adjusted APACHE II (adj-APACHE II) SAPS 3 and SAPS 3 customized for Europe [C-SAPS3 (Eu)] using standard formulas To improve calibration of the prognostic models a first-level customization was performed using logistic regression on the original scores and the corresponding probability of ICU death was calculated for the customized scores (C-SAPS II C-SAPS 3 and C-APACHE II)

bull Results The study included 1851 patients Hospital mortality was 9 Hosmer and Lemeshow statistics showed poor calibration for SAPS II APACHE II adj-APACHE II SAPS 3 and C-SAPS 3 (Eu) but good calibration for C-SAPS II C-APACHE II and C-SAPS 3 Discrimination was generally good for all models [area under the receiver operating characteristic curve ranged from 078 (C-APACHE II) to 089 (C-SAPS 3)] The C-SAPS 3 score appeared to have the best calibration curve on visual inspection

bull Conclusions In this group of surgical ICU patients the performance of SAPS 3 was similar to that of APACHE II and SAPS II Customization improved the calibration of all prognostic models

Mayer DA Wigmore SJ Buckels JAbull BACKGROUND Pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) is associated with high incidence of

morbidity and mortality We have applied P-POSSUM in predicting the incidence of outcome after PD to identify those who are at the highest risk of developing complications METHOD A prospective database of 241 consecutive patients who had PD from January 2002 to September 2005 was retrospectively updated and analysed P-POSSUM score was calculated for each patient and correlated with observed morbidity and mortality RESULTS 30 days mortality was 78 and morbidity was 448 Mean physiological score was 1607 +- 330 Mean operative score was 1367 +- 342 Mean operative score rose to 2028 +- 252 for the complex major operation (p lt 0001) with 2 fold increase in morbidity and 35 fold increase in mortality For groups of patients with a physiological score of (less than or equal to) 18 the OP (observed to Predicted) morbidity ratio was 13-14 and with a physiological score of gt18 the OP ratio was nearer to 1 Physiological score and white cell count were significant in a multivariate model CONCLUSION P-POSSUM underestimated the mortality rate While P-POSSUM analysis gave a truer prediction of morbidity underestimation of morbidity and potential for systematic inaccuracy in prediction of complications at lower risk levels is a significant issue for pancreatic surgery

bull AIM To establish a scoring system for predicting the incidence of postoperative complications and mortality in general surgery based on the physiological and operative severity score for the enumeration of mortality and morbidity (POSSUM) and to evaluate its effi cacy

bull METHODS Eighty-four patients with postoperative complications or death and 172 patients without postoperative complications who underwent surgery in our department during the previous 2 years were retrospectively analyzed by logistic regression Fifteen indexes were investigated including age cardiovascular function respiratory function blood test results endocrine function central nervous system function hepatic function renal function nutritional status extent of operative trauma and course of anesthesia Modifi ed POSSUM (M-POSSUM) was developed using significant risk factors with its effi cacy evaluated

bull RESULTS The significant risk factors were found to be age cardiovascular function respiratory function hepatic function renal function blood test results endocrine function nutritional status duration of operation intraoperative blood loss and course of anesthesia These factors were all included in the scoring system There were signifi cant differences in the scores between the patients with and without postoperative complications between the patients died and survived with complications and between the patients died and survived without complications The receiver operating characteristic curves showed that the M-POSSUM could accurately predict postoperative complications and mortality

bull CONCLUSION M-POSSUM correlates well with postoperative complications and mortality and is more accurate than POSSUM

physiological and operative severityscore for the enumeration of mortality and morbidity

(POSSUM)

bull POSSUM is limited by its somewhat subjective nature and incomplete evaluation of cardiac signs We propose the modified POSSUM (M-POSSUM)as a reasonable practical and objective scoring system that can be used across a broad disease spectrum in general surgery

bull BACKGROUND Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Models (VBHOM) adopted the approach of using a minimum data set to model outcome This study aimed to test such a model on a cohort of patients undergoing open elective and non-elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair METHODS A binary logistic regression model of risk of in-hospital mortality was built from the 2002-2004 submission to the UK National Vascular Database (NVD) (2718 patients) The subset of NVD data items used comprised serum levels of urea sodium and potassium haemoglobin white cell count sex age and mode of admission The model was applied prospectively using Hosmer-Lemeshow methodology to a test data set from the Cambridge Vascular Unit RESULTS The validation set contained 327 patients of whom 208 had elective AAA repair and 119 had emergency repair of a ruptured AAA Outcome following elective and non-elective AAA repair could be described accurately using the same model The overall mean predicted risk of death was 1413 per cent and 48 deaths were predicted The actual number of deaths was 53 (chi(2) = 840 10 df P = 0590 no evidence of lack of fit) The model also demonstrated good discrimination (c-index = 0852) CONCLUSION The VBHOM approach has the advantage of using simple objective clinical data that are easy to collect routinely The VBHOM data items potentially allow prediction of risk in an individual patient before aneurysm surgery (c) 2007 British Journal of

bull BACKGROUND amp OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to apply three simple risk - scoring systems to prospectively collected data on all elective open Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) operations in the Cambridge Academic Vascular Unit over a 6 - year period (January 1998 to January 2004) to compare their predictive values and to evaluate their validity with respect to prediction of mortality and post-operative complications METHODS 204 patients underwent elective open infra-renal AAA repair Data were prospectively collected and risk assessment scores were calculated for mortality and morbidity according to the Glasgow Aneurysm Score (GAS) VBHOM (Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Models) and Estimation of Physiologic Ability and Surgical Stress (E-PASS) RESULTS The mortality rate was 63 (13204) and 59 (121204) experienced a post-operative complication (30-day outcome) For GAS VBHOM and E-PASS the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve analysis for prediction of in-hospital mortality showed area under the curve (AUC) of 084 (95 confidence interval [CI] 076 to 092 plt00001) 082 (95 CI 068 to 095 p=00001) and 092 (95 CI 087 to 097 plt00001) respectively There were also significant correlations between post-operative complications and length of hospital stay and each of the three scores but the correlation was substantially higher in the case of E-PASS CONCLUSIONS All three scoring systems accurately predicted the risk of mortality and morbidity in patients undergoing elective open AAA repair Among these E-PASS seemed to be the most accurate predictor in this patient population

Systematic Review of Current EvidencePatterson BO Holt PJ Hinchliffe R Loftus IM Thompson MM

bull OBJECTIVE To examine and compare existing pre-operative risk prediction methods for elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair DESIGN Systematic review METHODS Medline EMBASE and the Cochrane library were searched for articles that related to risk prediction models used for elective AAA repair RESULTS 680 abstracts were reviewed and after exclusions 28 articles encompassing 10 risk models were identified The most frequently studied of these were the Glasgow Aneurysm Score (GAS) the Physiological and Operative Severity Score for enUmeration of Mortality (POSSUM) predictor equation and the Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Model (VBHOM) All models had strengths and weaknesses and some had unique features which were identified and discussed CONCLUSION The GAS appeared to be the most useful and consistently validated score at present for open repair Other systems were either not validated fully or were not consistently accurate Some had significant drawbacks which appeared to severely limit their clinical application Recent work has shown that no scores consistently predicted the risk associated with endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) Pre-operative risk stratification is a vital component of modern surgical practice and we propose the need for a comprehensive new risk scoring method for AAA repair incorporating anatomical and physiological data

Apache IIIbull the APACHE III is used to produce an equation predicting hospital mortality

after the first day of ICU treatment There are 4 components age major disease category (reason for ICU admission) acute (current) physiology and prior site of healthcare (eg hospital floor emergency room etc) The physiologic variables require scoring of the following vital sign and laboratory abnormalities pulse rate mean blood pressure temperature respiratory rate PaO2P (A-a) O2 hematocrit white blood cell count creatinine urine output blood urea nitrogen serum sodium albumin bilirubin glucose acid-base status and neurologic status

bull The last 2 physiologic parameters are hybrid values specific to APACHE III [3] It is important to note that an additional scoring variable must be used to update the APACHE III score based on changes in the patients physiologic status

bull We compared the performance of SAPS 3 with SAPS II and the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score in surgical ICU patients

bull Methods Prospectively collected data from all patients admitted to a German university hospital postoperative ICU between August 2004 and December 2005 were analysed The probability of ICU mortality was calculated for SAPS II APACHE II adjusted APACHE II (adj-APACHE II) SAPS 3 and SAPS 3 customized for Europe [C-SAPS3 (Eu)] using standard formulas To improve calibration of the prognostic models a first-level customization was performed using logistic regression on the original scores and the corresponding probability of ICU death was calculated for the customized scores (C-SAPS II C-SAPS 3 and C-APACHE II)

bull Results The study included 1851 patients Hospital mortality was 9 Hosmer and Lemeshow statistics showed poor calibration for SAPS II APACHE II adj-APACHE II SAPS 3 and C-SAPS 3 (Eu) but good calibration for C-SAPS II C-APACHE II and C-SAPS 3 Discrimination was generally good for all models [area under the receiver operating characteristic curve ranged from 078 (C-APACHE II) to 089 (C-SAPS 3)] The C-SAPS 3 score appeared to have the best calibration curve on visual inspection

bull Conclusions In this group of surgical ICU patients the performance of SAPS 3 was similar to that of APACHE II and SAPS II Customization improved the calibration of all prognostic models

Mayer DA Wigmore SJ Buckels JAbull BACKGROUND Pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) is associated with high incidence of

morbidity and mortality We have applied P-POSSUM in predicting the incidence of outcome after PD to identify those who are at the highest risk of developing complications METHOD A prospective database of 241 consecutive patients who had PD from January 2002 to September 2005 was retrospectively updated and analysed P-POSSUM score was calculated for each patient and correlated with observed morbidity and mortality RESULTS 30 days mortality was 78 and morbidity was 448 Mean physiological score was 1607 +- 330 Mean operative score was 1367 +- 342 Mean operative score rose to 2028 +- 252 for the complex major operation (p lt 0001) with 2 fold increase in morbidity and 35 fold increase in mortality For groups of patients with a physiological score of (less than or equal to) 18 the OP (observed to Predicted) morbidity ratio was 13-14 and with a physiological score of gt18 the OP ratio was nearer to 1 Physiological score and white cell count were significant in a multivariate model CONCLUSION P-POSSUM underestimated the mortality rate While P-POSSUM analysis gave a truer prediction of morbidity underestimation of morbidity and potential for systematic inaccuracy in prediction of complications at lower risk levels is a significant issue for pancreatic surgery

bull AIM To establish a scoring system for predicting the incidence of postoperative complications and mortality in general surgery based on the physiological and operative severity score for the enumeration of mortality and morbidity (POSSUM) and to evaluate its effi cacy

bull METHODS Eighty-four patients with postoperative complications or death and 172 patients without postoperative complications who underwent surgery in our department during the previous 2 years were retrospectively analyzed by logistic regression Fifteen indexes were investigated including age cardiovascular function respiratory function blood test results endocrine function central nervous system function hepatic function renal function nutritional status extent of operative trauma and course of anesthesia Modifi ed POSSUM (M-POSSUM) was developed using significant risk factors with its effi cacy evaluated

bull RESULTS The significant risk factors were found to be age cardiovascular function respiratory function hepatic function renal function blood test results endocrine function nutritional status duration of operation intraoperative blood loss and course of anesthesia These factors were all included in the scoring system There were signifi cant differences in the scores between the patients with and without postoperative complications between the patients died and survived with complications and between the patients died and survived without complications The receiver operating characteristic curves showed that the M-POSSUM could accurately predict postoperative complications and mortality

bull CONCLUSION M-POSSUM correlates well with postoperative complications and mortality and is more accurate than POSSUM

physiological and operative severityscore for the enumeration of mortality and morbidity

(POSSUM)

bull POSSUM is limited by its somewhat subjective nature and incomplete evaluation of cardiac signs We propose the modified POSSUM (M-POSSUM)as a reasonable practical and objective scoring system that can be used across a broad disease spectrum in general surgery

bull BACKGROUND Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Models (VBHOM) adopted the approach of using a minimum data set to model outcome This study aimed to test such a model on a cohort of patients undergoing open elective and non-elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair METHODS A binary logistic regression model of risk of in-hospital mortality was built from the 2002-2004 submission to the UK National Vascular Database (NVD) (2718 patients) The subset of NVD data items used comprised serum levels of urea sodium and potassium haemoglobin white cell count sex age and mode of admission The model was applied prospectively using Hosmer-Lemeshow methodology to a test data set from the Cambridge Vascular Unit RESULTS The validation set contained 327 patients of whom 208 had elective AAA repair and 119 had emergency repair of a ruptured AAA Outcome following elective and non-elective AAA repair could be described accurately using the same model The overall mean predicted risk of death was 1413 per cent and 48 deaths were predicted The actual number of deaths was 53 (chi(2) = 840 10 df P = 0590 no evidence of lack of fit) The model also demonstrated good discrimination (c-index = 0852) CONCLUSION The VBHOM approach has the advantage of using simple objective clinical data that are easy to collect routinely The VBHOM data items potentially allow prediction of risk in an individual patient before aneurysm surgery (c) 2007 British Journal of

bull BACKGROUND amp OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to apply three simple risk - scoring systems to prospectively collected data on all elective open Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) operations in the Cambridge Academic Vascular Unit over a 6 - year period (January 1998 to January 2004) to compare their predictive values and to evaluate their validity with respect to prediction of mortality and post-operative complications METHODS 204 patients underwent elective open infra-renal AAA repair Data were prospectively collected and risk assessment scores were calculated for mortality and morbidity according to the Glasgow Aneurysm Score (GAS) VBHOM (Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Models) and Estimation of Physiologic Ability and Surgical Stress (E-PASS) RESULTS The mortality rate was 63 (13204) and 59 (121204) experienced a post-operative complication (30-day outcome) For GAS VBHOM and E-PASS the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve analysis for prediction of in-hospital mortality showed area under the curve (AUC) of 084 (95 confidence interval [CI] 076 to 092 plt00001) 082 (95 CI 068 to 095 p=00001) and 092 (95 CI 087 to 097 plt00001) respectively There were also significant correlations between post-operative complications and length of hospital stay and each of the three scores but the correlation was substantially higher in the case of E-PASS CONCLUSIONS All three scoring systems accurately predicted the risk of mortality and morbidity in patients undergoing elective open AAA repair Among these E-PASS seemed to be the most accurate predictor in this patient population

bull OBJECTIVE To examine and compare existing pre-operative risk prediction methods for elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair DESIGN Systematic review METHODS Medline EMBASE and the Cochrane library were searched for articles that related to risk prediction models used for elective AAA repair RESULTS 680 abstracts were reviewed and after exclusions 28 articles encompassing 10 risk models were identified The most frequently studied of these were the Glasgow Aneurysm Score (GAS) the Physiological and Operative Severity Score for enUmeration of Mortality (POSSUM) predictor equation and the Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Model (VBHOM) All models had strengths and weaknesses and some had unique features which were identified and discussed CONCLUSION The GAS appeared to be the most useful and consistently validated score at present for open repair Other systems were either not validated fully or were not consistently accurate Some had significant drawbacks which appeared to severely limit their clinical application Recent work has shown that no scores consistently predicted the risk associated with endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) Pre-operative risk stratification is a vital component of modern surgical practice and we propose the need for a comprehensive new risk scoring method for AAA repair incorporating anatomical and physiological data

Apache IIIbull the APACHE III is used to produce an equation predicting hospital mortality

after the first day of ICU treatment There are 4 components age major disease category (reason for ICU admission) acute (current) physiology and prior site of healthcare (eg hospital floor emergency room etc) The physiologic variables require scoring of the following vital sign and laboratory abnormalities pulse rate mean blood pressure temperature respiratory rate PaO2P (A-a) O2 hematocrit white blood cell count creatinine urine output blood urea nitrogen serum sodium albumin bilirubin glucose acid-base status and neurologic status

bull The last 2 physiologic parameters are hybrid values specific to APACHE III [3] It is important to note that an additional scoring variable must be used to update the APACHE III score based on changes in the patients physiologic status

bull We compared the performance of SAPS 3 with SAPS II and the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score in surgical ICU patients

bull Methods Prospectively collected data from all patients admitted to a German university hospital postoperative ICU between August 2004 and December 2005 were analysed The probability of ICU mortality was calculated for SAPS II APACHE II adjusted APACHE II (adj-APACHE II) SAPS 3 and SAPS 3 customized for Europe [C-SAPS3 (Eu)] using standard formulas To improve calibration of the prognostic models a first-level customization was performed using logistic regression on the original scores and the corresponding probability of ICU death was calculated for the customized scores (C-SAPS II C-SAPS 3 and C-APACHE II)

bull Results The study included 1851 patients Hospital mortality was 9 Hosmer and Lemeshow statistics showed poor calibration for SAPS II APACHE II adj-APACHE II SAPS 3 and C-SAPS 3 (Eu) but good calibration for C-SAPS II C-APACHE II and C-SAPS 3 Discrimination was generally good for all models [area under the receiver operating characteristic curve ranged from 078 (C-APACHE II) to 089 (C-SAPS 3)] The C-SAPS 3 score appeared to have the best calibration curve on visual inspection

bull Conclusions In this group of surgical ICU patients the performance of SAPS 3 was similar to that of APACHE II and SAPS II Customization improved the calibration of all prognostic models

morbidity and mortality We have applied P-POSSUM in predicting the incidence of outcome after PD to identify those who are at the highest risk of developing complications METHOD A prospective database of 241 consecutive patients who had PD from January 2002 to September 2005 was retrospectively updated and analysed P-POSSUM score was calculated for each patient and correlated with observed morbidity and mortality RESULTS 30 days mortality was 78 and morbidity was 448 Mean physiological score was 1607 +- 330 Mean operative score was 1367 +- 342 Mean operative score rose to 2028 +- 252 for the complex major operation (p lt 0001) with 2 fold increase in morbidity and 35 fold increase in mortality For groups of patients with a physiological score of (less than or equal to) 18 the OP (observed to Predicted) morbidity ratio was 13-14 and with a physiological score of gt18 the OP ratio was nearer to 1 Physiological score and white cell count were significant in a multivariate model CONCLUSION P-POSSUM underestimated the mortality rate While P-POSSUM analysis gave a truer prediction of morbidity underestimation of morbidity and potential for systematic inaccuracy in prediction of complications at lower risk levels is a significant issue for pancreatic surgery

bull AIM To establish a scoring system for predicting the incidence of postoperative complications and mortality in general surgery based on the physiological and operative severity score for the enumeration of mortality and morbidity (POSSUM) and to evaluate its effi cacy

bull METHODS Eighty-four patients with postoperative complications or death and 172 patients without postoperative complications who underwent surgery in our department during the previous 2 years were retrospectively analyzed by logistic regression Fifteen indexes were investigated including age cardiovascular function respiratory function blood test results endocrine function central nervous system function hepatic function renal function nutritional status extent of operative trauma and course of anesthesia Modifi ed POSSUM (M-POSSUM) was developed using significant risk factors with its effi cacy evaluated

bull RESULTS The significant risk factors were found to be age cardiovascular function respiratory function hepatic function renal function blood test results endocrine function nutritional status duration of operation intraoperative blood loss and course of anesthesia These factors were all included in the scoring system There were signifi cant differences in the scores between the patients with and without postoperative complications between the patients died and survived with complications and between the patients died and survived without complications The receiver operating characteristic curves showed that the M-POSSUM could accurately predict postoperative complications and mortality

bull CONCLUSION M-POSSUM correlates well with postoperative complications and mortality and is more accurate than POSSUM

physiological and operative severityscore for the enumeration of mortality and morbidity

(POSSUM)

bull POSSUM is limited by its somewhat subjective nature and incomplete evaluation of cardiac signs We propose the modified POSSUM (M-POSSUM)as a reasonable practical and objective scoring system that can be used across a broad disease spectrum in general surgery

bull BACKGROUND Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Models (VBHOM) adopted the approach of using a minimum data set to model outcome This study aimed to test such a model on a cohort of patients undergoing open elective and non-elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair METHODS A binary logistic regression model of risk of in-hospital mortality was built from the 2002-2004 submission to the UK National Vascular Database (NVD) (2718 patients) The subset of NVD data items used comprised serum levels of urea sodium and potassium haemoglobin white cell count sex age and mode of admission The model was applied prospectively using Hosmer-Lemeshow methodology to a test data set from the Cambridge Vascular Unit RESULTS The validation set contained 327 patients of whom 208 had elective AAA repair and 119 had emergency repair of a ruptured AAA Outcome following elective and non-elective AAA repair could be described accurately using the same model The overall mean predicted risk of death was 1413 per cent and 48 deaths were predicted The actual number of deaths was 53 (chi(2) = 840 10 df P = 0590 no evidence of lack of fit) The model also demonstrated good discrimination (c-index = 0852) CONCLUSION The VBHOM approach has the advantage of using simple objective clinical data that are easy to collect routinely The VBHOM data items potentially allow prediction of risk in an individual patient before aneurysm surgery (c) 2007 British Journal of

bull BACKGROUND amp OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to apply three simple risk - scoring systems to prospectively collected data on all elective open Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) operations in the Cambridge Academic Vascular Unit over a 6 - year period (January 1998 to January 2004) to compare their predictive values and to evaluate their validity with respect to prediction of mortality and post-operative complications METHODS 204 patients underwent elective open infra-renal AAA repair Data were prospectively collected and risk assessment scores were calculated for mortality and morbidity according to the Glasgow Aneurysm Score (GAS) VBHOM (Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Models) and Estimation of Physiologic Ability and Surgical Stress (E-PASS) RESULTS The mortality rate was 63 (13204) and 59 (121204) experienced a post-operative complication (30-day outcome) For GAS VBHOM and E-PASS the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve analysis for prediction of in-hospital mortality showed area under the curve (AUC) of 084 (95 confidence interval [CI] 076 to 092 plt00001) 082 (95 CI 068 to 095 p=00001) and 092 (95 CI 087 to 097 plt00001) respectively There were also significant correlations between post-operative complications and length of hospital stay and each of the three scores but the correlation was substantially higher in the case of E-PASS CONCLUSIONS All three scoring systems accurately predicted the risk of mortality and morbidity in patients undergoing elective open AAA repair Among these E-PASS seemed to be the most accurate predictor in this patient population

Systematic Review of Current EvidencePatterson BO Holt PJ Hinchliffe R Loftus IM Thompson MM

bull OBJECTIVE To examine and compare existing pre-operative risk prediction methods for elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair DESIGN Systematic review METHODS Medline EMBASE and the Cochrane library were searched for articles that related to risk prediction models used for elective AAA repair RESULTS 680 abstracts were reviewed and after exclusions 28 articles encompassing 10 risk models were identified The most frequently studied of these were the Glasgow Aneurysm Score (GAS) the Physiological and Operative Severity Score for enUmeration of Mortality (POSSUM) predictor equation and the Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Model (VBHOM) All models had strengths and weaknesses and some had unique features which were identified and discussed CONCLUSION The GAS appeared to be the most useful and consistently validated score at present for open repair Other systems were either not validated fully or were not consistently accurate Some had significant drawbacks which appeared to severely limit their clinical application Recent work has shown that no scores consistently predicted the risk associated with endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) Pre-operative risk stratification is a vital component of modern surgical practice and we propose the need for a comprehensive new risk scoring method for AAA repair incorporating anatomical and physiological data

Apache IIIbull the APACHE III is used to produce an equation predicting hospital mortality

after the first day of ICU treatment There are 4 components age major disease category (reason for ICU admission) acute (current) physiology and prior site of healthcare (eg hospital floor emergency room etc) The physiologic variables require scoring of the following vital sign and laboratory abnormalities pulse rate mean blood pressure temperature respiratory rate PaO2P (A-a) O2 hematocrit white blood cell count creatinine urine output blood urea nitrogen serum sodium albumin bilirubin glucose acid-base status and neurologic status

bull The last 2 physiologic parameters are hybrid values specific to APACHE III [3] It is important to note that an additional scoring variable must be used to update the APACHE III score based on changes in the patients physiologic status

bull We compared the performance of SAPS 3 with SAPS II and the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score in surgical ICU patients

bull Methods Prospectively collected data from all patients admitted to a German university hospital postoperative ICU between August 2004 and December 2005 were analysed The probability of ICU mortality was calculated for SAPS II APACHE II adjusted APACHE II (adj-APACHE II) SAPS 3 and SAPS 3 customized for Europe [C-SAPS3 (Eu)] using standard formulas To improve calibration of the prognostic models a first-level customization was performed using logistic regression on the original scores and the corresponding probability of ICU death was calculated for the customized scores (C-SAPS II C-SAPS 3 and C-APACHE II)

bull Results The study included 1851 patients Hospital mortality was 9 Hosmer and Lemeshow statistics showed poor calibration for SAPS II APACHE II adj-APACHE II SAPS 3 and C-SAPS 3 (Eu) but good calibration for C-SAPS II C-APACHE II and C-SAPS 3 Discrimination was generally good for all models [area under the receiver operating characteristic curve ranged from 078 (C-APACHE II) to 089 (C-SAPS 3)] The C-SAPS 3 score appeared to have the best calibration curve on visual inspection

bull Conclusions In this group of surgical ICU patients the performance of SAPS 3 was similar to that of APACHE II and SAPS II Customization improved the calibration of all prognostic models

morbidity and mortality We have applied P-POSSUM in predicting the incidence of outcome after PD to identify those who are at the highest risk of developing complications METHOD A prospective database of 241 consecutive patients who had PD from January 2002 to September 2005 was retrospectively updated and analysed P-POSSUM score was calculated for each patient and correlated with observed morbidity and mortality RESULTS 30 days mortality was 78 and morbidity was 448 Mean physiological score was 1607 +- 330 Mean operative score was 1367 +- 342 Mean operative score rose to 2028 +- 252 for the complex major operation (p lt 0001) with 2 fold increase in morbidity and 35 fold increase in mortality For groups of patients with a physiological score of (less than or equal to) 18 the OP (observed to Predicted) morbidity ratio was 13-14 and with a physiological score of gt18 the OP ratio was nearer to 1 Physiological score and white cell count were significant in a multivariate model CONCLUSION P-POSSUM underestimated the mortality rate While P-POSSUM analysis gave a truer prediction of morbidity underestimation of morbidity and potential for systematic inaccuracy in prediction of complications at lower risk levels is a significant issue for pancreatic surgery

bull AIM To establish a scoring system for predicting the incidence of postoperative complications and mortality in general surgery based on the physiological and operative severity score for the enumeration of mortality and morbidity (POSSUM) and to evaluate its effi cacy

bull METHODS Eighty-four patients with postoperative complications or death and 172 patients without postoperative complications who underwent surgery in our department during the previous 2 years were retrospectively analyzed by logistic regression Fifteen indexes were investigated including age cardiovascular function respiratory function blood test results endocrine function central nervous system function hepatic function renal function nutritional status extent of operative trauma and course of anesthesia Modifi ed POSSUM (M-POSSUM) was developed using significant risk factors with its effi cacy evaluated

bull RESULTS The significant risk factors were found to be age cardiovascular function respiratory function hepatic function renal function blood test results endocrine function nutritional status duration of operation intraoperative blood loss and course of anesthesia These factors were all included in the scoring system There were signifi cant differences in the scores between the patients with and without postoperative complications between the patients died and survived with complications and between the patients died and survived without complications The receiver operating characteristic curves showed that the M-POSSUM could accurately predict postoperative complications and mortality

bull CONCLUSION M-POSSUM correlates well with postoperative complications and mortality and is more accurate than POSSUM

physiological and operative severityscore for the enumeration of mortality and morbidity

(POSSUM)

bull POSSUM is limited by its somewhat subjective nature and incomplete evaluation of cardiac signs We propose the modified POSSUM (M-POSSUM)as a reasonable practical and objective scoring system that can be used across a broad disease spectrum in general surgery

bull BACKGROUND Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Models (VBHOM) adopted the approach of using a minimum data set to model outcome This study aimed to test such a model on a cohort of patients undergoing open elective and non-elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair METHODS A binary logistic regression model of risk of in-hospital mortality was built from the 2002-2004 submission to the UK National Vascular Database (NVD) (2718 patients) The subset of NVD data items used comprised serum levels of urea sodium and potassium haemoglobin white cell count sex age and mode of admission The model was applied prospectively using Hosmer-Lemeshow methodology to a test data set from the Cambridge Vascular Unit RESULTS The validation set contained 327 patients of whom 208 had elective AAA repair and 119 had emergency repair of a ruptured AAA Outcome following elective and non-elective AAA repair could be described accurately using the same model The overall mean predicted risk of death was 1413 per cent and 48 deaths were predicted The actual number of deaths was 53 (chi(2) = 840 10 df P = 0590 no evidence of lack of fit) The model also demonstrated good discrimination (c-index = 0852) CONCLUSION The VBHOM approach has the advantage of using simple objective clinical data that are easy to collect routinely The VBHOM data items potentially allow prediction of risk in an individual patient before aneurysm surgery (c) 2007 British Journal of

bull BACKGROUND amp OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to apply three simple risk - scoring systems to prospectively collected data on all elective open Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) operations in the Cambridge Academic Vascular Unit over a 6 - year period (January 1998 to January 2004) to compare their predictive values and to evaluate their validity with respect to prediction of mortality and post-operative complications METHODS 204 patients underwent elective open infra-renal AAA repair Data were prospectively collected and risk assessment scores were calculated for mortality and morbidity according to the Glasgow Aneurysm Score (GAS) VBHOM (Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Models) and Estimation of Physiologic Ability and Surgical Stress (E-PASS) RESULTS The mortality rate was 63 (13204) and 59 (121204) experienced a post-operative complication (30-day outcome) For GAS VBHOM and E-PASS the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve analysis for prediction of in-hospital mortality showed area under the curve (AUC) of 084 (95 confidence interval [CI] 076 to 092 plt00001) 082 (95 CI 068 to 095 p=00001) and 092 (95 CI 087 to 097 plt00001) respectively There were also significant correlations between post-operative complications and length of hospital stay and each of the three scores but the correlation was substantially higher in the case of E-PASS CONCLUSIONS All three scoring systems accurately predicted the risk of mortality and morbidity in patients undergoing elective open AAA repair Among these E-PASS seemed to be the most accurate predictor in this patient population

bull OBJECTIVE To examine and compare existing pre-operative risk prediction methods for elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair DESIGN Systematic review METHODS Medline EMBASE and the Cochrane library were searched for articles that related to risk prediction models used for elective AAA repair RESULTS 680 abstracts were reviewed and after exclusions 28 articles encompassing 10 risk models were identified The most frequently studied of these were the Glasgow Aneurysm Score (GAS) the Physiological and Operative Severity Score for enUmeration of Mortality (POSSUM) predictor equation and the Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Model (VBHOM) All models had strengths and weaknesses and some had unique features which were identified and discussed CONCLUSION The GAS appeared to be the most useful and consistently validated score at present for open repair Other systems were either not validated fully or were not consistently accurate Some had significant drawbacks which appeared to severely limit their clinical application Recent work has shown that no scores consistently predicted the risk associated with endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) Pre-operative risk stratification is a vital component of modern surgical practice and we propose the need for a comprehensive new risk scoring method for AAA repair incorporating anatomical and physiological data

Apache IIIbull the APACHE III is used to produce an equation predicting hospital mortality

after the first day of ICU treatment There are 4 components age major disease category (reason for ICU admission) acute (current) physiology and prior site of healthcare (eg hospital floor emergency room etc) The physiologic variables require scoring of the following vital sign and laboratory abnormalities pulse rate mean blood pressure temperature respiratory rate PaO2P (A-a) O2 hematocrit white blood cell count creatinine urine output blood urea nitrogen serum sodium albumin bilirubin glucose acid-base status and neurologic status

bull The last 2 physiologic parameters are hybrid values specific to APACHE III [3] It is important to note that an additional scoring variable must be used to update the APACHE III score based on changes in the patients physiologic status

bull We compared the performance of SAPS 3 with SAPS II and the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score in surgical ICU patients

bull Methods Prospectively collected data from all patients admitted to a German university hospital postoperative ICU between August 2004 and December 2005 were analysed The probability of ICU mortality was calculated for SAPS II APACHE II adjusted APACHE II (adj-APACHE II) SAPS 3 and SAPS 3 customized for Europe [C-SAPS3 (Eu)] using standard formulas To improve calibration of the prognostic models a first-level customization was performed using logistic regression on the original scores and the corresponding probability of ICU death was calculated for the customized scores (C-SAPS II C-SAPS 3 and C-APACHE II)

bull Results The study included 1851 patients Hospital mortality was 9 Hosmer and Lemeshow statistics showed poor calibration for SAPS II APACHE II adj-APACHE II SAPS 3 and C-SAPS 3 (Eu) but good calibration for C-SAPS II C-APACHE II and C-SAPS 3 Discrimination was generally good for all models [area under the receiver operating characteristic curve ranged from 078 (C-APACHE II) to 089 (C-SAPS 3)] The C-SAPS 3 score appeared to have the best calibration curve on visual inspection

bull Conclusions In this group of surgical ICU patients the performance of SAPS 3 was similar to that of APACHE II and SAPS II Customization improved the calibration of all prognostic models

morbidity and mortality We have applied P-POSSUM in predicting the incidence of outcome after PD to identify those who are at the highest risk of developing complications METHOD A prospective database of 241 consecutive patients who had PD from January 2002 to September 2005 was retrospectively updated and analysed P-POSSUM score was calculated for each patient and correlated with observed morbidity and mortality RESULTS 30 days mortality was 78 and morbidity was 448 Mean physiological score was 1607 +- 330 Mean operative score was 1367 +- 342 Mean operative score rose to 2028 +- 252 for the complex major operation (p lt 0001) with 2 fold increase in morbidity and 35 fold increase in mortality For groups of patients with a physiological score of (less than or equal to) 18 the OP (observed to Predicted) morbidity ratio was 13-14 and with a physiological score of gt18 the OP ratio was nearer to 1 Physiological score and white cell count were significant in a multivariate model CONCLUSION P-POSSUM underestimated the mortality rate While P-POSSUM analysis gave a truer prediction of morbidity underestimation of morbidity and potential for systematic inaccuracy in prediction of complications at lower risk levels is a significant issue for pancreatic surgery

bull AIM To establish a scoring system for predicting the incidence of postoperative complications and mortality in general surgery based on the physiological and operative severity score for the enumeration of mortality and morbidity (POSSUM) and to evaluate its effi cacy

bull METHODS Eighty-four patients with postoperative complications or death and 172 patients without postoperative complications who underwent surgery in our department during the previous 2 years were retrospectively analyzed by logistic regression Fifteen indexes were investigated including age cardiovascular function respiratory function blood test results endocrine function central nervous system function hepatic function renal function nutritional status extent of operative trauma and course of anesthesia Modifi ed POSSUM (M-POSSUM) was developed using significant risk factors with its effi cacy evaluated

bull RESULTS The significant risk factors were found to be age cardiovascular function respiratory function hepatic function renal function blood test results endocrine function nutritional status duration of operation intraoperative blood loss and course of anesthesia These factors were all included in the scoring system There were signifi cant differences in the scores between the patients with and without postoperative complications between the patients died and survived with complications and between the patients died and survived without complications The receiver operating characteristic curves showed that the M-POSSUM could accurately predict postoperative complications and mortality

bull CONCLUSION M-POSSUM correlates well with postoperative complications and mortality and is more accurate than POSSUM

physiological and operative severityscore for the enumeration of mortality and morbidity

(POSSUM)

bull POSSUM is limited by its somewhat subjective nature and incomplete evaluation of cardiac signs We propose the modified POSSUM (M-POSSUM)as a reasonable practical and objective scoring system that can be used across a broad disease spectrum in general surgery

bull BACKGROUND Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Models (VBHOM) adopted the approach of using a minimum data set to model outcome This study aimed to test such a model on a cohort of patients undergoing open elective and non-elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair METHODS A binary logistic regression model of risk of in-hospital mortality was built from the 2002-2004 submission to the UK National Vascular Database (NVD) (2718 patients) The subset of NVD data items used comprised serum levels of urea sodium and potassium haemoglobin white cell count sex age and mode of admission The model was applied prospectively using Hosmer-Lemeshow methodology to a test data set from the Cambridge Vascular Unit RESULTS The validation set contained 327 patients of whom 208 had elective AAA repair and 119 had emergency repair of a ruptured AAA Outcome following elective and non-elective AAA repair could be described accurately using the same model The overall mean predicted risk of death was 1413 per cent and 48 deaths were predicted The actual number of deaths was 53 (chi(2) = 840 10 df P = 0590 no evidence of lack of fit) The model also demonstrated good discrimination (c-index = 0852) CONCLUSION The VBHOM approach has the advantage of using simple objective clinical data that are easy to collect routinely The VBHOM data items potentially allow prediction of risk in an individual patient before aneurysm surgery (c) 2007 British Journal of

bull BACKGROUND amp OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to apply three simple risk - scoring systems to prospectively collected data on all elective open Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) operations in the Cambridge Academic Vascular Unit over a 6 - year period (January 1998 to January 2004) to compare their predictive values and to evaluate their validity with respect to prediction of mortality and post-operative complications METHODS 204 patients underwent elective open infra-renal AAA repair Data were prospectively collected and risk assessment scores were calculated for mortality and morbidity according to the Glasgow Aneurysm Score (GAS) VBHOM (Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Models) and Estimation of Physiologic Ability and Surgical Stress (E-PASS) RESULTS The mortality rate was 63 (13204) and 59 (121204) experienced a post-operative complication (30-day outcome) For GAS VBHOM and E-PASS the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve analysis for prediction of in-hospital mortality showed area under the curve (AUC) of 084 (95 confidence interval [CI] 076 to 092 plt00001) 082 (95 CI 068 to 095 p=00001) and 092 (95 CI 087 to 097 plt00001) respectively There were also significant correlations between post-operative complications and length of hospital stay and each of the three scores but the correlation was substantially higher in the case of E-PASS CONCLUSIONS All three scoring systems accurately predicted the risk of mortality and morbidity in patients undergoing elective open AAA repair Among these E-PASS seemed to be the most accurate predictor in this patient population

Systematic Review of Current EvidencePatterson BO Holt PJ Hinchliffe R Loftus IM Thompson MM

bull OBJECTIVE To examine and compare existing pre-operative risk prediction methods for elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair DESIGN Systematic review METHODS Medline EMBASE and the Cochrane library were searched for articles that related to risk prediction models used for elective AAA repair RESULTS 680 abstracts were reviewed and after exclusions 28 articles encompassing 10 risk models were identified The most frequently studied of these were the Glasgow Aneurysm Score (GAS) the Physiological and Operative Severity Score for enUmeration of Mortality (POSSUM) predictor equation and the Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Model (VBHOM) All models had strengths and weaknesses and some had unique features which were identified and discussed CONCLUSION The GAS appeared to be the most useful and consistently validated score at present for open repair Other systems were either not validated fully or were not consistently accurate Some had significant drawbacks which appeared to severely limit their clinical application Recent work has shown that no scores consistently predicted the risk associated with endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) Pre-operative risk stratification is a vital component of modern surgical practice and we propose the need for a comprehensive new risk scoring method for AAA repair incorporating anatomical and physiological data

Apache IIIbull the APACHE III is used to produce an equation predicting hospital mortality

after the first day of ICU treatment There are 4 components age major disease category (reason for ICU admission) acute (current) physiology and prior site of healthcare (eg hospital floor emergency room etc) The physiologic variables require scoring of the following vital sign and laboratory abnormalities pulse rate mean blood pressure temperature respiratory rate PaO2P (A-a) O2 hematocrit white blood cell count creatinine urine output blood urea nitrogen serum sodium albumin bilirubin glucose acid-base status and neurologic status

bull The last 2 physiologic parameters are hybrid values specific to APACHE III [3] It is important to note that an additional scoring variable must be used to update the APACHE III score based on changes in the patients physiologic status

bull We compared the performance of SAPS 3 with SAPS II and the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score in surgical ICU patients

bull Methods Prospectively collected data from all patients admitted to a German university hospital postoperative ICU between August 2004 and December 2005 were analysed The probability of ICU mortality was calculated for SAPS II APACHE II adjusted APACHE II (adj-APACHE II) SAPS 3 and SAPS 3 customized for Europe [C-SAPS3 (Eu)] using standard formulas To improve calibration of the prognostic models a first-level customization was performed using logistic regression on the original scores and the corresponding probability of ICU death was calculated for the customized scores (C-SAPS II C-SAPS 3 and C-APACHE II)

bull Results The study included 1851 patients Hospital mortality was 9 Hosmer and Lemeshow statistics showed poor calibration for SAPS II APACHE II adj-APACHE II SAPS 3 and C-SAPS 3 (Eu) but good calibration for C-SAPS II C-APACHE II and C-SAPS 3 Discrimination was generally good for all models [area under the receiver operating characteristic curve ranged from 078 (C-APACHE II) to 089 (C-SAPS 3)] The C-SAPS 3 score appeared to have the best calibration curve on visual inspection

bull Conclusions In this group of surgical ICU patients the performance of SAPS 3 was similar to that of APACHE II and SAPS II Customization improved the calibration of all prognostic models

Mayer DA Wigmore SJ Buckels JAbull BACKGROUND Pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) is associated with high incidence of

morbidity and mortality We have applied P-POSSUM in predicting the incidence of outcome after PD to identify those who are at the highest risk of developing complications METHOD A prospective database of 241 consecutive patients who had PD from January 2002 to September 2005 was retrospectively updated and analysed P-POSSUM score was calculated for each patient and correlated with observed morbidity and mortality RESULTS 30 days mortality was 78 and morbidity was 448 Mean physiological score was 1607 +- 330 Mean operative score was 1367 +- 342 Mean operative score rose to 2028 +- 252 for the complex major operation (p lt 0001) with 2 fold increase in morbidity and 35 fold increase in mortality For groups of patients with a physiological score of (less than or equal to) 18 the OP (observed to Predicted) morbidity ratio was 13-14 and with a physiological score of gt18 the OP ratio was nearer to 1 Physiological score and white cell count were significant in a multivariate model CONCLUSION P-POSSUM underestimated the mortality rate While P-POSSUM analysis gave a truer prediction of morbidity underestimation of morbidity and potential for systematic inaccuracy in prediction of complications at lower risk levels is a significant issue for pancreatic surgery

bull AIM To establish a scoring system for predicting the incidence of postoperative complications and mortality in general surgery based on the physiological and operative severity score for the enumeration of mortality and morbidity (POSSUM) and to evaluate its effi cacy

bull METHODS Eighty-four patients with postoperative complications or death and 172 patients without postoperative complications who underwent surgery in our department during the previous 2 years were retrospectively analyzed by logistic regression Fifteen indexes were investigated including age cardiovascular function respiratory function blood test results endocrine function central nervous system function hepatic function renal function nutritional status extent of operative trauma and course of anesthesia Modifi ed POSSUM (M-POSSUM) was developed using significant risk factors with its effi cacy evaluated

bull RESULTS The significant risk factors were found to be age cardiovascular function respiratory function hepatic function renal function blood test results endocrine function nutritional status duration of operation intraoperative blood loss and course of anesthesia These factors were all included in the scoring system There were signifi cant differences in the scores between the patients with and without postoperative complications between the patients died and survived with complications and between the patients died and survived without complications The receiver operating characteristic curves showed that the M-POSSUM could accurately predict postoperative complications and mortality

bull CONCLUSION M-POSSUM correlates well with postoperative complications and mortality and is more accurate than POSSUM

physiological and operative severityscore for the enumeration of mortality and morbidity

(POSSUM)

bull POSSUM is limited by its somewhat subjective nature and incomplete evaluation of cardiac signs We propose the modified POSSUM (M-POSSUM)as a reasonable practical and objective scoring system that can be used across a broad disease spectrum in general surgery

bull BACKGROUND amp OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to apply three simple risk - scoring systems to prospectively collected data on all elective open Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) operations in the Cambridge Academic Vascular Unit over a 6 - year period (January 1998 to January 2004) to compare their predictive values and to evaluate their validity with respect to prediction of mortality and post-operative complications METHODS 204 patients underwent elective open infra-renal AAA repair Data were prospectively collected and risk assessment scores were calculated for mortality and morbidity according to the Glasgow Aneurysm Score (GAS) VBHOM (Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Models) and Estimation of Physiologic Ability and Surgical Stress (E-PASS) RESULTS The mortality rate was 63 (13204) and 59 (121204) experienced a post-operative complication (30-day outcome) For GAS VBHOM and E-PASS the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve analysis for prediction of in-hospital mortality showed area under the curve (AUC) of 084 (95 confidence interval [CI] 076 to 092 plt00001) 082 (95 CI 068 to 095 p=00001) and 092 (95 CI 087 to 097 plt00001) respectively There were also significant correlations between post-operative complications and length of hospital stay and each of the three scores but the correlation was substantially higher in the case of E-PASS CONCLUSIONS All three scoring systems accurately predicted the risk of mortality and morbidity in patients undergoing elective open AAA repair Among these E-PASS seemed to be the most accurate predictor in this patient population

bull OBJECTIVE To examine and compare existing pre-operative risk prediction methods for elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair DESIGN Systematic review METHODS Medline EMBASE and the Cochrane library were searched for articles that related to risk prediction models used for elective AAA repair RESULTS 680 abstracts were reviewed and after exclusions 28 articles encompassing 10 risk models were identified The most frequently studied of these were the Glasgow Aneurysm Score (GAS) the Physiological and Operative Severity Score for enUmeration of Mortality (POSSUM) predictor equation and the Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Model (VBHOM) All models had strengths and weaknesses and some had unique features which were identified and discussed CONCLUSION The GAS appeared to be the most useful and consistently validated score at present for open repair Other systems were either not validated fully or were not consistently accurate Some had significant drawbacks which appeared to severely limit their clinical application Recent work has shown that no scores consistently predicted the risk associated with endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) Pre-operative risk stratification is a vital component of modern surgical practice and we propose the need for a comprehensive new risk scoring method for AAA repair incorporating anatomical and physiological data

Apache IIIbull the APACHE III is used to produce an equation predicting hospital mortality

after the first day of ICU treatment There are 4 components age major disease category (reason for ICU admission) acute (current) physiology and prior site of healthcare (eg hospital floor emergency room etc) The physiologic variables require scoring of the following vital sign and laboratory abnormalities pulse rate mean blood pressure temperature respiratory rate PaO2P (A-a) O2 hematocrit white blood cell count creatinine urine output blood urea nitrogen serum sodium albumin bilirubin glucose acid-base status and neurologic status

bull The last 2 physiologic parameters are hybrid values specific to APACHE III [3] It is important to note that an additional scoring variable must be used to update the APACHE III score based on changes in the patients physiologic status

bull We compared the performance of SAPS 3 with SAPS II and the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score in surgical ICU patients

bull Methods Prospectively collected data from all patients admitted to a German university hospital postoperative ICU between August 2004 and December 2005 were analysed The probability of ICU mortality was calculated for SAPS II APACHE II adjusted APACHE II (adj-APACHE II) SAPS 3 and SAPS 3 customized for Europe [C-SAPS3 (Eu)] using standard formulas To improve calibration of the prognostic models a first-level customization was performed using logistic regression on the original scores and the corresponding probability of ICU death was calculated for the customized scores (C-SAPS II C-SAPS 3 and C-APACHE II)

bull Results The study included 1851 patients Hospital mortality was 9 Hosmer and Lemeshow statistics showed poor calibration for SAPS II APACHE II adj-APACHE II SAPS 3 and C-SAPS 3 (Eu) but good calibration for C-SAPS II C-APACHE II and C-SAPS 3 Discrimination was generally good for all models [area under the receiver operating characteristic curve ranged from 078 (C-APACHE II) to 089 (C-SAPS 3)] The C-SAPS 3 score appeared to have the best calibration curve on visual inspection

bull Conclusions In this group of surgical ICU patients the performance of SAPS 3 was similar to that of APACHE II and SAPS II Customization improved the calibration of all prognostic models

Mayer DA Wigmore SJ Buckels JAbull BACKGROUND Pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) is associated with high incidence of

morbidity and mortality We have applied P-POSSUM in predicting the incidence of outcome after PD to identify those who are at the highest risk of developing complications METHOD A prospective database of 241 consecutive patients who had PD from January 2002 to September 2005 was retrospectively updated and analysed P-POSSUM score was calculated for each patient and correlated with observed morbidity and mortality RESULTS 30 days mortality was 78 and morbidity was 448 Mean physiological score was 1607 +- 330 Mean operative score was 1367 +- 342 Mean operative score rose to 2028 +- 252 for the complex major operation (p lt 0001) with 2 fold increase in morbidity and 35 fold increase in mortality For groups of patients with a physiological score of (less than or equal to) 18 the OP (observed to Predicted) morbidity ratio was 13-14 and with a physiological score of gt18 the OP ratio was nearer to 1 Physiological score and white cell count were significant in a multivariate model CONCLUSION P-POSSUM underestimated the mortality rate While P-POSSUM analysis gave a truer prediction of morbidity underestimation of morbidity and potential for systematic inaccuracy in prediction of complications at lower risk levels is a significant issue for pancreatic surgery

bull AIM To establish a scoring system for predicting the incidence of postoperative complications and mortality in general surgery based on the physiological and operative severity score for the enumeration of mortality and morbidity (POSSUM) and to evaluate its effi cacy

bull METHODS Eighty-four patients with postoperative complications or death and 172 patients without postoperative complications who underwent surgery in our department during the previous 2 years were retrospectively analyzed by logistic regression Fifteen indexes were investigated including age cardiovascular function respiratory function blood test results endocrine function central nervous system function hepatic function renal function nutritional status extent of operative trauma and course of anesthesia Modifi ed POSSUM (M-POSSUM) was developed using significant risk factors with its effi cacy evaluated

bull RESULTS The significant risk factors were found to be age cardiovascular function respiratory function hepatic function renal function blood test results endocrine function nutritional status duration of operation intraoperative blood loss and course of anesthesia These factors were all included in the scoring system There were signifi cant differences in the scores between the patients with and without postoperative complications between the patients died and survived with complications and between the patients died and survived without complications The receiver operating characteristic curves showed that the M-POSSUM could accurately predict postoperative complications and mortality

bull CONCLUSION M-POSSUM correlates well with postoperative complications and mortality and is more accurate than POSSUM

physiological and operative severityscore for the enumeration of mortality and morbidity

(POSSUM)

bull POSSUM is limited by its somewhat subjective nature and incomplete evaluation of cardiac signs We propose the modified POSSUM (M-POSSUM)as a reasonable practical and objective scoring system that can be used across a broad disease spectrum in general surgery

bull BACKGROUND amp OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to apply three simple risk - scoring systems to prospectively collected data on all elective open Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) operations in the Cambridge Academic Vascular Unit over a 6 - year period (January 1998 to January 2004) to compare their predictive values and to evaluate their validity with respect to prediction of mortality and post-operative complications METHODS 204 patients underwent elective open infra-renal AAA repair Data were prospectively collected and risk assessment scores were calculated for mortality and morbidity according to the Glasgow Aneurysm Score (GAS) VBHOM (Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Models) and Estimation of Physiologic Ability and Surgical Stress (E-PASS) RESULTS The mortality rate was 63 (13204) and 59 (121204) experienced a post-operative complication (30-day outcome) For GAS VBHOM and E-PASS the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve analysis for prediction of in-hospital mortality showed area under the curve (AUC) of 084 (95 confidence interval [CI] 076 to 092 plt00001) 082 (95 CI 068 to 095 p=00001) and 092 (95 CI 087 to 097 plt00001) respectively There were also significant correlations between post-operative complications and length of hospital stay and each of the three scores but the correlation was substantially higher in the case of E-PASS CONCLUSIONS All three scoring systems accurately predicted the risk of mortality and morbidity in patients undergoing elective open AAA repair Among these E-PASS seemed to be the most accurate predictor in this patient population

bull OBJECTIVE To examine and compare existing pre-operative risk prediction methods for elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair DESIGN Systematic review METHODS Medline EMBASE and the Cochrane library were searched for articles that related to risk prediction models used for elective AAA repair RESULTS 680 abstracts were reviewed and after exclusions 28 articles encompassing 10 risk models were identified The most frequently studied of these were the Glasgow Aneurysm Score (GAS) the Physiological and Operative Severity Score for enUmeration of Mortality (POSSUM) predictor equation and the Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Model (VBHOM) All models had strengths and weaknesses and some had unique features which were identified and discussed CONCLUSION The GAS appeared to be the most useful and consistently validated score at present for open repair Other systems were either not validated fully or were not consistently accurate Some had significant drawbacks which appeared to severely limit their clinical application Recent work has shown that no scores consistently predicted the risk associated with endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) Pre-operative risk stratification is a vital component of modern surgical practice and we propose the need for a comprehensive new risk scoring method for AAA repair incorporating anatomical and physiological data

Apache IIIbull the APACHE III is used to produce an equation predicting hospital mortality

after the first day of ICU treatment There are 4 components age major disease category (reason for ICU admission) acute (current) physiology and prior site of healthcare (eg hospital floor emergency room etc) The physiologic variables require scoring of the following vital sign and laboratory abnormalities pulse rate mean blood pressure temperature respiratory rate PaO2P (A-a) O2 hematocrit white blood cell count creatinine urine output blood urea nitrogen serum sodium albumin bilirubin glucose acid-base status and neurologic status

bull The last 2 physiologic parameters are hybrid values specific to APACHE III [3] It is important to note that an additional scoring variable must be used to update the APACHE III score based on changes in the patients physiologic status

bull We compared the performance of SAPS 3 with SAPS II and the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score in surgical ICU patients

bull Methods Prospectively collected data from all patients admitted to a German university hospital postoperative ICU between August 2004 and December 2005 were analysed The probability of ICU mortality was calculated for SAPS II APACHE II adjusted APACHE II (adj-APACHE II) SAPS 3 and SAPS 3 customized for Europe [C-SAPS3 (Eu)] using standard formulas To improve calibration of the prognostic models a first-level customization was performed using logistic regression on the original scores and the corresponding probability of ICU death was calculated for the customized scores (C-SAPS II C-SAPS 3 and C-APACHE II)

bull Results The study included 1851 patients Hospital mortality was 9 Hosmer and Lemeshow statistics showed poor calibration for SAPS II APACHE II adj-APACHE II SAPS 3 and C-SAPS 3 (Eu) but good calibration for C-SAPS II C-APACHE II and C-SAPS 3 Discrimination was generally good for all models [area under the receiver operating characteristic curve ranged from 078 (C-APACHE II) to 089 (C-SAPS 3)] The C-SAPS 3 score appeared to have the best calibration curve on visual inspection

bull Conclusions In this group of surgical ICU patients the performance of SAPS 3 was similar to that of APACHE II and SAPS II Customization improved the calibration of all prognostic models

Mayer DA Wigmore SJ Buckels JAbull BACKGROUND Pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) is associated with high incidence of

morbidity and mortality We have applied P-POSSUM in predicting the incidence of outcome after PD to identify those who are at the highest risk of developing complications METHOD A prospective database of 241 consecutive patients who had PD from January 2002 to September 2005 was retrospectively updated and analysed P-POSSUM score was calculated for each patient and correlated with observed morbidity and mortality RESULTS 30 days mortality was 78 and morbidity was 448 Mean physiological score was 1607 +- 330 Mean operative score was 1367 +- 342 Mean operative score rose to 2028 +- 252 for the complex major operation (p lt 0001) with 2 fold increase in morbidity and 35 fold increase in mortality For groups of patients with a physiological score of (less than or equal to) 18 the OP (observed to Predicted) morbidity ratio was 13-14 and with a physiological score of gt18 the OP ratio was nearer to 1 Physiological score and white cell count were significant in a multivariate model CONCLUSION P-POSSUM underestimated the mortality rate While P-POSSUM analysis gave a truer prediction of morbidity underestimation of morbidity and potential for systematic inaccuracy in prediction of complications at lower risk levels is a significant issue for pancreatic surgery

bull AIM To establish a scoring system for predicting the incidence of postoperative complications and mortality in general surgery based on the physiological and operative severity score for the enumeration of mortality and morbidity (POSSUM) and to evaluate its effi cacy

bull METHODS Eighty-four patients with postoperative complications or death and 172 patients without postoperative complications who underwent surgery in our department during the previous 2 years were retrospectively analyzed by logistic regression Fifteen indexes were investigated including age cardiovascular function respiratory function blood test results endocrine function central nervous system function hepatic function renal function nutritional status extent of operative trauma and course of anesthesia Modifi ed POSSUM (M-POSSUM) was developed using significant risk factors with its effi cacy evaluated

bull RESULTS The significant risk factors were found to be age cardiovascular function respiratory function hepatic function renal function blood test results endocrine function nutritional status duration of operation intraoperative blood loss and course of anesthesia These factors were all included in the scoring system There were signifi cant differences in the scores between the patients with and without postoperative complications between the patients died and survived with complications and between the patients died and survived without complications The receiver operating characteristic curves showed that the M-POSSUM could accurately predict postoperative complications and mortality

bull CONCLUSION M-POSSUM correlates well with postoperative complications and mortality and is more accurate than POSSUM

physiological and operative severityscore for the enumeration of mortality and morbidity

(POSSUM)

bull POSSUM is limited by its somewhat subjective nature and incomplete evaluation of cardiac signs We propose the modified POSSUM (M-POSSUM)as a reasonable practical and objective scoring system that can be used across a broad disease spectrum in general surgery

bull BACKGROUND Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Models (VBHOM) adopted the approach of using a minimum data set to model outcome This study aimed to test such a model on a cohort of patients undergoing open elective and non-elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair METHODS A binary logistic regression model of risk of in-hospital mortality was built from the 2002-2004 submission to the UK National Vascular Database (NVD) (2718 patients) The subset of NVD data items used comprised serum levels of urea sodium and potassium haemoglobin white cell count sex age and mode of admission The model was applied prospectively using Hosmer-Lemeshow methodology to a test data set from the Cambridge Vascular Unit RESULTS The validation set contained 327 patients of whom 208 had elective AAA repair and 119 had emergency repair of a ruptured AAA Outcome following elective and non-elective AAA repair could be described accurately using the same model The overall mean predicted risk of death was 1413 per cent and 48 deaths were predicted The actual number of deaths was 53 (chi(2) = 840 10 df P = 0590 no evidence of lack of fit) The model also demonstrated good discrimination (c-index = 0852) CONCLUSION The VBHOM approach has the advantage of using simple objective clinical data that are easy to collect routinely The VBHOM data items potentially allow prediction of risk in an individual patient before aneurysm surgery (c) 2007 British Journal of

bull OBJECTIVE To examine and compare existing pre-operative risk prediction methods for elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair DESIGN Systematic review METHODS Medline EMBASE and the Cochrane library were searched for articles that related to risk prediction models used for elective AAA repair RESULTS 680 abstracts were reviewed and after exclusions 28 articles encompassing 10 risk models were identified The most frequently studied of these were the Glasgow Aneurysm Score (GAS) the Physiological and Operative Severity Score for enUmeration of Mortality (POSSUM) predictor equation and the Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Model (VBHOM) All models had strengths and weaknesses and some had unique features which were identified and discussed CONCLUSION The GAS appeared to be the most useful and consistently validated score at present for open repair Other systems were either not validated fully or were not consistently accurate Some had significant drawbacks which appeared to severely limit their clinical application Recent work has shown that no scores consistently predicted the risk associated with endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) Pre-operative risk stratification is a vital component of modern surgical practice and we propose the need for a comprehensive new risk scoring method for AAA repair incorporating anatomical and physiological data

Apache IIIbull the APACHE III is used to produce an equation predicting hospital mortality

after the first day of ICU treatment There are 4 components age major disease category (reason for ICU admission) acute (current) physiology and prior site of healthcare (eg hospital floor emergency room etc) The physiologic variables require scoring of the following vital sign and laboratory abnormalities pulse rate mean blood pressure temperature respiratory rate PaO2P (A-a) O2 hematocrit white blood cell count creatinine urine output blood urea nitrogen serum sodium albumin bilirubin glucose acid-base status and neurologic status

bull The last 2 physiologic parameters are hybrid values specific to APACHE III [3] It is important to note that an additional scoring variable must be used to update the APACHE III score based on changes in the patients physiologic status

bull Methods Prospectively collected data from all patients admitted to a German university hospital postoperative ICU between August 2004 and December 2005 were analysed The probability of ICU mortality was calculated for SAPS II APACHE II adjusted APACHE II (adj-APACHE II) SAPS 3 and SAPS 3 customized for Europe [C-SAPS3 (Eu)] using standard formulas To improve calibration of the prognostic models a first-level customization was performed using logistic regression on the original scores and the corresponding probability of ICU death was calculated for the customized scores (C-SAPS II C-SAPS 3 and C-APACHE II)

bull Results The study included 1851 patients Hospital mortality was 9 Hosmer and Lemeshow statistics showed poor calibration for SAPS II APACHE II adj-APACHE II SAPS 3 and C-SAPS 3 (Eu) but good calibration for C-SAPS II C-APACHE II and C-SAPS 3 Discrimination was generally good for all models [area under the receiver operating characteristic curve ranged from 078 (C-APACHE II) to 089 (C-SAPS 3)] The C-SAPS 3 score appeared to have the best calibration curve on visual inspection

bull Conclusions In this group of surgical ICU patients the performance of SAPS 3 was similar to that of APACHE II and SAPS II Customization improved the calibration of all prognostic models

Mayer DA Wigmore SJ Buckels JAbull BACKGROUND Pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) is associated with high incidence of

morbidity and mortality We have applied P-POSSUM in predicting the incidence of outcome after PD to identify those who are at the highest risk of developing complications METHOD A prospective database of 241 consecutive patients who had PD from January 2002 to September 2005 was retrospectively updated and analysed P-POSSUM score was calculated for each patient and correlated with observed morbidity and mortality RESULTS 30 days mortality was 78 and morbidity was 448 Mean physiological score was 1607 +- 330 Mean operative score was 1367 +- 342 Mean operative score rose to 2028 +- 252 for the complex major operation (p lt 0001) with 2 fold increase in morbidity and 35 fold increase in mortality For groups of patients with a physiological score of (less than or equal to) 18 the OP (observed to Predicted) morbidity ratio was 13-14 and with a physiological score of gt18 the OP ratio was nearer to 1 Physiological score and white cell count were significant in a multivariate model CONCLUSION P-POSSUM underestimated the mortality rate While P-POSSUM analysis gave a truer prediction of morbidity underestimation of morbidity and potential for systematic inaccuracy in prediction of complications at lower risk levels is a significant issue for pancreatic surgery

bull AIM To establish a scoring system for predicting the incidence of postoperative complications and mortality in general surgery based on the physiological and operative severity score for the enumeration of mortality and morbidity (POSSUM) and to evaluate its effi cacy

bull METHODS Eighty-four patients with postoperative complications or death and 172 patients without postoperative complications who underwent surgery in our department during the previous 2 years were retrospectively analyzed by logistic regression Fifteen indexes were investigated including age cardiovascular function respiratory function blood test results endocrine function central nervous system function hepatic function renal function nutritional status extent of operative trauma and course of anesthesia Modifi ed POSSUM (M-POSSUM) was developed using significant risk factors with its effi cacy evaluated

bull RESULTS The significant risk factors were found to be age cardiovascular function respiratory function hepatic function renal function blood test results endocrine function nutritional status duration of operation intraoperative blood loss and course of anesthesia These factors were all included in the scoring system There were signifi cant differences in the scores between the patients with and without postoperative complications between the patients died and survived with complications and between the patients died and survived without complications The receiver operating characteristic curves showed that the M-POSSUM could accurately predict postoperative complications and mortality

bull CONCLUSION M-POSSUM correlates well with postoperative complications and mortality and is more accurate than POSSUM

physiological and operative severityscore for the enumeration of mortality and morbidity

(POSSUM)

bull POSSUM is limited by its somewhat subjective nature and incomplete evaluation of cardiac signs We propose the modified POSSUM (M-POSSUM)as a reasonable practical and objective scoring system that can be used across a broad disease spectrum in general surgery

bull BACKGROUND Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Models (VBHOM) adopted the approach of using a minimum data set to model outcome This study aimed to test such a model on a cohort of patients undergoing open elective and non-elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair METHODS A binary logistic regression model of risk of in-hospital mortality was built from the 2002-2004 submission to the UK National Vascular Database (NVD) (2718 patients) The subset of NVD data items used comprised serum levels of urea sodium and potassium haemoglobin white cell count sex age and mode of admission The model was applied prospectively using Hosmer-Lemeshow methodology to a test data set from the Cambridge Vascular Unit RESULTS The validation set contained 327 patients of whom 208 had elective AAA repair and 119 had emergency repair of a ruptured AAA Outcome following elective and non-elective AAA repair could be described accurately using the same model The overall mean predicted risk of death was 1413 per cent and 48 deaths were predicted The actual number of deaths was 53 (chi(2) = 840 10 df P = 0590 no evidence of lack of fit) The model also demonstrated good discrimination (c-index = 0852) CONCLUSION The VBHOM approach has the advantage of using simple objective clinical data that are easy to collect routinely The VBHOM data items potentially allow prediction of risk in an individual patient before aneurysm surgery (c) 2007 British Journal of

bull OBJECTIVE To examine and compare existing pre-operative risk prediction methods for elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair DESIGN Systematic review METHODS Medline EMBASE and the Cochrane library were searched for articles that related to risk prediction models used for elective AAA repair RESULTS 680 abstracts were reviewed and after exclusions 28 articles encompassing 10 risk models were identified The most frequently studied of these were the Glasgow Aneurysm Score (GAS) the Physiological and Operative Severity Score for enUmeration of Mortality (POSSUM) predictor equation and the Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Model (VBHOM) All models had strengths and weaknesses and some had unique features which were identified and discussed CONCLUSION The GAS appeared to be the most useful and consistently validated score at present for open repair Other systems were either not validated fully or were not consistently accurate Some had significant drawbacks which appeared to severely limit their clinical application Recent work has shown that no scores consistently predicted the risk associated with endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) Pre-operative risk stratification is a vital component of modern surgical practice and we propose the need for a comprehensive new risk scoring method for AAA repair incorporating anatomical and physiological data

Apache IIIbull the APACHE III is used to produce an equation predicting hospital mortality

after the first day of ICU treatment There are 4 components age major disease category (reason for ICU admission) acute (current) physiology and prior site of healthcare (eg hospital floor emergency room etc) The physiologic variables require scoring of the following vital sign and laboratory abnormalities pulse rate mean blood pressure temperature respiratory rate PaO2P (A-a) O2 hematocrit white blood cell count creatinine urine output blood urea nitrogen serum sodium albumin bilirubin glucose acid-base status and neurologic status

bull The last 2 physiologic parameters are hybrid values specific to APACHE III [3] It is important to note that an additional scoring variable must be used to update the APACHE III score based on changes in the patients physiologic status

bull We compared the performance of SAPS 3 with SAPS II and the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score in surgical ICU patients

bull Methods Prospectively collected data from all patients admitted to a German university hospital postoperative ICU between August 2004 and December 2005 were analysed The probability of ICU mortality was calculated for SAPS II APACHE II adjusted APACHE II (adj-APACHE II) SAPS 3 and SAPS 3 customized for Europe [C-SAPS3 (Eu)] using standard formulas To improve calibration of the prognostic models a first-level customization was performed using logistic regression on the original scores and the corresponding probability of ICU death was calculated for the customized scores (C-SAPS II C-SAPS 3 and C-APACHE II)

bull Results The study included 1851 patients Hospital mortality was 9 Hosmer and Lemeshow statistics showed poor calibration for SAPS II APACHE II adj-APACHE II SAPS 3 and C-SAPS 3 (Eu) but good calibration for C-SAPS II C-APACHE II and C-SAPS 3 Discrimination was generally good for all models [area under the receiver operating characteristic curve ranged from 078 (C-APACHE II) to 089 (C-SAPS 3)] The C-SAPS 3 score appeared to have the best calibration curve on visual inspection

bull Conclusions In this group of surgical ICU patients the performance of SAPS 3 was similar to that of APACHE II and SAPS II Customization improved the calibration of all prognostic models

Mayer DA Wigmore SJ Buckels JAbull BACKGROUND Pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) is associated with high incidence of

morbidity and mortality We have applied P-POSSUM in predicting the incidence of outcome after PD to identify those who are at the highest risk of developing complications METHOD A prospective database of 241 consecutive patients who had PD from January 2002 to September 2005 was retrospectively updated and analysed P-POSSUM score was calculated for each patient and correlated with observed morbidity and mortality RESULTS 30 days mortality was 78 and morbidity was 448 Mean physiological score was 1607 +- 330 Mean operative score was 1367 +- 342 Mean operative score rose to 2028 +- 252 for the complex major operation (p lt 0001) with 2 fold increase in morbidity and 35 fold increase in mortality For groups of patients with a physiological score of (less than or equal to) 18 the OP (observed to Predicted) morbidity ratio was 13-14 and with a physiological score of gt18 the OP ratio was nearer to 1 Physiological score and white cell count were significant in a multivariate model CONCLUSION P-POSSUM underestimated the mortality rate While P-POSSUM analysis gave a truer prediction of morbidity underestimation of morbidity and potential for systematic inaccuracy in prediction of complications at lower risk levels is a significant issue for pancreatic surgery

bull AIM To establish a scoring system for predicting the incidence of postoperative complications and mortality in general surgery based on the physiological and operative severity score for the enumeration of mortality and morbidity (POSSUM) and to evaluate its effi cacy

bull METHODS Eighty-four patients with postoperative complications or death and 172 patients without postoperative complications who underwent surgery in our department during the previous 2 years were retrospectively analyzed by logistic regression Fifteen indexes were investigated including age cardiovascular function respiratory function blood test results endocrine function central nervous system function hepatic function renal function nutritional status extent of operative trauma and course of anesthesia Modifi ed POSSUM (M-POSSUM) was developed using significant risk factors with its effi cacy evaluated

bull RESULTS The significant risk factors were found to be age cardiovascular function respiratory function hepatic function renal function blood test results endocrine function nutritional status duration of operation intraoperative blood loss and course of anesthesia These factors were all included in the scoring system There were signifi cant differences in the scores between the patients with and without postoperative complications between the patients died and survived with complications and between the patients died and survived without complications The receiver operating characteristic curves showed that the M-POSSUM could accurately predict postoperative complications and mortality

bull CONCLUSION M-POSSUM correlates well with postoperative complications and mortality and is more accurate than POSSUM

physiological and operative severityscore for the enumeration of mortality and morbidity

(POSSUM)

bull POSSUM is limited by its somewhat subjective nature and incomplete evaluation of cardiac signs We propose the modified POSSUM (M-POSSUM)as a reasonable practical and objective scoring system that can be used across a broad disease spectrum in general surgery

bull BACKGROUND Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Models (VBHOM) adopted the approach of using a minimum data set to model outcome This study aimed to test such a model on a cohort of patients undergoing open elective and non-elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair METHODS A binary logistic regression model of risk of in-hospital mortality was built from the 2002-2004 submission to the UK National Vascular Database (NVD) (2718 patients) The subset of NVD data items used comprised serum levels of urea sodium and potassium haemoglobin white cell count sex age and mode of admission The model was applied prospectively using Hosmer-Lemeshow methodology to a test data set from the Cambridge Vascular Unit RESULTS The validation set contained 327 patients of whom 208 had elective AAA repair and 119 had emergency repair of a ruptured AAA Outcome following elective and non-elective AAA repair could be described accurately using the same model The overall mean predicted risk of death was 1413 per cent and 48 deaths were predicted The actual number of deaths was 53 (chi(2) = 840 10 df P = 0590 no evidence of lack of fit) The model also demonstrated good discrimination (c-index = 0852) CONCLUSION The VBHOM approach has the advantage of using simple objective clinical data that are easy to collect routinely The VBHOM data items potentially allow prediction of risk in an individual patient before aneurysm surgery (c) 2007 British Journal of

bull BACKGROUND amp OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to apply three simple risk - scoring systems to prospectively collected data on all elective open Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) operations in the Cambridge Academic Vascular Unit over a 6 - year period (January 1998 to January 2004) to compare their predictive values and to evaluate their validity with respect to prediction of mortality and post-operative complications METHODS 204 patients underwent elective open infra-renal AAA repair Data were prospectively collected and risk assessment scores were calculated for mortality and morbidity according to the Glasgow Aneurysm Score (GAS) VBHOM (Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Models) and Estimation of Physiologic Ability and Surgical Stress (E-PASS) RESULTS The mortality rate was 63 (13204) and 59 (121204) experienced a post-operative complication (30-day outcome) For GAS VBHOM and E-PASS the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve analysis for prediction of in-hospital mortality showed area under the curve (AUC) of 084 (95 confidence interval [CI] 076 to 092 plt00001) 082 (95 CI 068 to 095 p=00001) and 092 (95 CI 087 to 097 plt00001) respectively There were also significant correlations between post-operative complications and length of hospital stay and each of the three scores but the correlation was substantially higher in the case of E-PASS CONCLUSIONS All three scoring systems accurately predicted the risk of mortality and morbidity in patients undergoing elective open AAA repair Among these E-PASS seemed to be the most accurate predictor in this patient population

Systematic Review of Current EvidencePatterson BO Holt PJ Hinchliffe R Loftus IM Thompson MM

bull OBJECTIVE To examine and compare existing pre-operative risk prediction methods for elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair DESIGN Systematic review METHODS Medline EMBASE and the Cochrane library were searched for articles that related to risk prediction models used for elective AAA repair RESULTS 680 abstracts were reviewed and after exclusions 28 articles encompassing 10 risk models were identified The most frequently studied of these were the Glasgow Aneurysm Score (GAS) the Physiological and Operative Severity Score for enUmeration of Mortality (POSSUM) predictor equation and the Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Model (VBHOM) All models had strengths and weaknesses and some had unique features which were identified and discussed CONCLUSION The GAS appeared to be the most useful and consistently validated score at present for open repair Other systems were either not validated fully or were not consistently accurate Some had significant drawbacks which appeared to severely limit their clinical application Recent work has shown that no scores consistently predicted the risk associated with endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) Pre-operative risk stratification is a vital component of modern surgical practice and we propose the need for a comprehensive new risk scoring method for AAA repair incorporating anatomical and physiological data

Apache IIIbull the APACHE III is used to produce an equation predicting hospital mortality

after the first day of ICU treatment There are 4 components age major disease category (reason for ICU admission) acute (current) physiology and prior site of healthcare (eg hospital floor emergency room etc) The physiologic variables require scoring of the following vital sign and laboratory abnormalities pulse rate mean blood pressure temperature respiratory rate PaO2P (A-a) O2 hematocrit white blood cell count creatinine urine output blood urea nitrogen serum sodium albumin bilirubin glucose acid-base status and neurologic status

bull The last 2 physiologic parameters are hybrid values specific to APACHE III [3] It is important to note that an additional scoring variable must be used to update the APACHE III score based on changes in the patients physiologic status

bull Methods Prospectively collected data from all patients admitted to a German university hospital postoperative ICU between August 2004 and December 2005 were analysed The probability of ICU mortality was calculated for SAPS II APACHE II adjusted APACHE II (adj-APACHE II) SAPS 3 and SAPS 3 customized for Europe [C-SAPS3 (Eu)] using standard formulas To improve calibration of the prognostic models a first-level customization was performed using logistic regression on the original scores and the corresponding probability of ICU death was calculated for the customized scores (C-SAPS II C-SAPS 3 and C-APACHE II)

bull Results The study included 1851 patients Hospital mortality was 9 Hosmer and Lemeshow statistics showed poor calibration for SAPS II APACHE II adj-APACHE II SAPS 3 and C-SAPS 3 (Eu) but good calibration for C-SAPS II C-APACHE II and C-SAPS 3 Discrimination was generally good for all models [area under the receiver operating characteristic curve ranged from 078 (C-APACHE II) to 089 (C-SAPS 3)] The C-SAPS 3 score appeared to have the best calibration curve on visual inspection

bull Conclusions In this group of surgical ICU patients the performance of SAPS 3 was similar to that of APACHE II and SAPS II Customization improved the calibration of all prognostic models

morbidity and mortality We have applied P-POSSUM in predicting the incidence of outcome after PD to identify those who are at the highest risk of developing complications METHOD A prospective database of 241 consecutive patients who had PD from January 2002 to September 2005 was retrospectively updated and analysed P-POSSUM score was calculated for each patient and correlated with observed morbidity and mortality RESULTS 30 days mortality was 78 and morbidity was 448 Mean physiological score was 1607 +- 330 Mean operative score was 1367 +- 342 Mean operative score rose to 2028 +- 252 for the complex major operation (p lt 0001) with 2 fold increase in morbidity and 35 fold increase in mortality For groups of patients with a physiological score of (less than or equal to) 18 the OP (observed to Predicted) morbidity ratio was 13-14 and with a physiological score of gt18 the OP ratio was nearer to 1 Physiological score and white cell count were significant in a multivariate model CONCLUSION P-POSSUM underestimated the mortality rate While P-POSSUM analysis gave a truer prediction of morbidity underestimation of morbidity and potential for systematic inaccuracy in prediction of complications at lower risk levels is a significant issue for pancreatic surgery

bull AIM To establish a scoring system for predicting the incidence of postoperative complications and mortality in general surgery based on the physiological and operative severity score for the enumeration of mortality and morbidity (POSSUM) and to evaluate its effi cacy

bull METHODS Eighty-four patients with postoperative complications or death and 172 patients without postoperative complications who underwent surgery in our department during the previous 2 years were retrospectively analyzed by logistic regression Fifteen indexes were investigated including age cardiovascular function respiratory function blood test results endocrine function central nervous system function hepatic function renal function nutritional status extent of operative trauma and course of anesthesia Modifi ed POSSUM (M-POSSUM) was developed using significant risk factors with its effi cacy evaluated

bull RESULTS The significant risk factors were found to be age cardiovascular function respiratory function hepatic function renal function blood test results endocrine function nutritional status duration of operation intraoperative blood loss and course of anesthesia These factors were all included in the scoring system There were signifi cant differences in the scores between the patients with and without postoperative complications between the patients died and survived with complications and between the patients died and survived without complications The receiver operating characteristic curves showed that the M-POSSUM could accurately predict postoperative complications and mortality

bull CONCLUSION M-POSSUM correlates well with postoperative complications and mortality and is more accurate than POSSUM

physiological and operative severityscore for the enumeration of mortality and morbidity

(POSSUM)

bull POSSUM is limited by its somewhat subjective nature and incomplete evaluation of cardiac signs We propose the modified POSSUM (M-POSSUM)as a reasonable practical and objective scoring system that can be used across a broad disease spectrum in general surgery

bull BACKGROUND Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Models (VBHOM) adopted the approach of using a minimum data set to model outcome This study aimed to test such a model on a cohort of patients undergoing open elective and non-elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair METHODS A binary logistic regression model of risk of in-hospital mortality was built from the 2002-2004 submission to the UK National Vascular Database (NVD) (2718 patients) The subset of NVD data items used comprised serum levels of urea sodium and potassium haemoglobin white cell count sex age and mode of admission The model was applied prospectively using Hosmer-Lemeshow methodology to a test data set from the Cambridge Vascular Unit RESULTS The validation set contained 327 patients of whom 208 had elective AAA repair and 119 had emergency repair of a ruptured AAA Outcome following elective and non-elective AAA repair could be described accurately using the same model The overall mean predicted risk of death was 1413 per cent and 48 deaths were predicted The actual number of deaths was 53 (chi(2) = 840 10 df P = 0590 no evidence of lack of fit) The model also demonstrated good discrimination (c-index = 0852) CONCLUSION The VBHOM approach has the advantage of using simple objective clinical data that are easy to collect routinely The VBHOM data items potentially allow prediction of risk in an individual patient before aneurysm surgery (c) 2007 British Journal of

bull BACKGROUND amp OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to apply three simple risk - scoring systems to prospectively collected data on all elective open Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) operations in the Cambridge Academic Vascular Unit over a 6 - year period (January 1998 to January 2004) to compare their predictive values and to evaluate their validity with respect to prediction of mortality and post-operative complications METHODS 204 patients underwent elective open infra-renal AAA repair Data were prospectively collected and risk assessment scores were calculated for mortality and morbidity according to the Glasgow Aneurysm Score (GAS) VBHOM (Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Models) and Estimation of Physiologic Ability and Surgical Stress (E-PASS) RESULTS The mortality rate was 63 (13204) and 59 (121204) experienced a post-operative complication (30-day outcome) For GAS VBHOM and E-PASS the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve analysis for prediction of in-hospital mortality showed area under the curve (AUC) of 084 (95 confidence interval [CI] 076 to 092 plt00001) 082 (95 CI 068 to 095 p=00001) and 092 (95 CI 087 to 097 plt00001) respectively There were also significant correlations between post-operative complications and length of hospital stay and each of the three scores but the correlation was substantially higher in the case of E-PASS CONCLUSIONS All three scoring systems accurately predicted the risk of mortality and morbidity in patients undergoing elective open AAA repair Among these E-PASS seemed to be the most accurate predictor in this patient population

Systematic Review of Current EvidencePatterson BO Holt PJ Hinchliffe R Loftus IM Thompson MM

bull OBJECTIVE To examine and compare existing pre-operative risk prediction methods for elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair DESIGN Systematic review METHODS Medline EMBASE and the Cochrane library were searched for articles that related to risk prediction models used for elective AAA repair RESULTS 680 abstracts were reviewed and after exclusions 28 articles encompassing 10 risk models were identified The most frequently studied of these were the Glasgow Aneurysm Score (GAS) the Physiological and Operative Severity Score for enUmeration of Mortality (POSSUM) predictor equation and the Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Model (VBHOM) All models had strengths and weaknesses and some had unique features which were identified and discussed CONCLUSION The GAS appeared to be the most useful and consistently validated score at present for open repair Other systems were either not validated fully or were not consistently accurate Some had significant drawbacks which appeared to severely limit their clinical application Recent work has shown that no scores consistently predicted the risk associated with endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) Pre-operative risk stratification is a vital component of modern surgical practice and we propose the need for a comprehensive new risk scoring method for AAA repair incorporating anatomical and physiological data

Apache IIIbull the APACHE III is used to produce an equation predicting hospital mortality

after the first day of ICU treatment There are 4 components age major disease category (reason for ICU admission) acute (current) physiology and prior site of healthcare (eg hospital floor emergency room etc) The physiologic variables require scoring of the following vital sign and laboratory abnormalities pulse rate mean blood pressure temperature respiratory rate PaO2P (A-a) O2 hematocrit white blood cell count creatinine urine output blood urea nitrogen serum sodium albumin bilirubin glucose acid-base status and neurologic status

bull The last 2 physiologic parameters are hybrid values specific to APACHE III [3] It is important to note that an additional scoring variable must be used to update the APACHE III score based on changes in the patients physiologic status

bull Methods Prospectively collected data from all patients admitted to a German university hospital postoperative ICU between August 2004 and December 2005 were analysed The probability of ICU mortality was calculated for SAPS II APACHE II adjusted APACHE II (adj-APACHE II) SAPS 3 and SAPS 3 customized for Europe [C-SAPS3 (Eu)] using standard formulas To improve calibration of the prognostic models a first-level customization was performed using logistic regression on the original scores and the corresponding probability of ICU death was calculated for the customized scores (C-SAPS II C-SAPS 3 and C-APACHE II)

bull Results The study included 1851 patients Hospital mortality was 9 Hosmer and Lemeshow statistics showed poor calibration for SAPS II APACHE II adj-APACHE II SAPS 3 and C-SAPS 3 (Eu) but good calibration for C-SAPS II C-APACHE II and C-SAPS 3 Discrimination was generally good for all models [area under the receiver operating characteristic curve ranged from 078 (C-APACHE II) to 089 (C-SAPS 3)] The C-SAPS 3 score appeared to have the best calibration curve on visual inspection

bull Conclusions In this group of surgical ICU patients the performance of SAPS 3 was similar to that of APACHE II and SAPS II Customization improved the calibration of all prognostic models

Mayer DA Wigmore SJ Buckels JAbull BACKGROUND Pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) is associated with high incidence of

morbidity and mortality We have applied P-POSSUM in predicting the incidence of outcome after PD to identify those who are at the highest risk of developing complications METHOD A prospective database of 241 consecutive patients who had PD from January 2002 to September 2005 was retrospectively updated and analysed P-POSSUM score was calculated for each patient and correlated with observed morbidity and mortality RESULTS 30 days mortality was 78 and morbidity was 448 Mean physiological score was 1607 +- 330 Mean operative score was 1367 +- 342 Mean operative score rose to 2028 +- 252 for the complex major operation (p lt 0001) with 2 fold increase in morbidity and 35 fold increase in mortality For groups of patients with a physiological score of (less than or equal to) 18 the OP (observed to Predicted) morbidity ratio was 13-14 and with a physiological score of gt18 the OP ratio was nearer to 1 Physiological score and white cell count were significant in a multivariate model CONCLUSION P-POSSUM underestimated the mortality rate While P-POSSUM analysis gave a truer prediction of morbidity underestimation of morbidity and potential for systematic inaccuracy in prediction of complications at lower risk levels is a significant issue for pancreatic surgery

bull AIM To establish a scoring system for predicting the incidence of postoperative complications and mortality in general surgery based on the physiological and operative severity score for the enumeration of mortality and morbidity (POSSUM) and to evaluate its effi cacy

bull METHODS Eighty-four patients with postoperative complications or death and 172 patients without postoperative complications who underwent surgery in our department during the previous 2 years were retrospectively analyzed by logistic regression Fifteen indexes were investigated including age cardiovascular function respiratory function blood test results endocrine function central nervous system function hepatic function renal function nutritional status extent of operative trauma and course of anesthesia Modifi ed POSSUM (M-POSSUM) was developed using significant risk factors with its effi cacy evaluated

bull RESULTS The significant risk factors were found to be age cardiovascular function respiratory function hepatic function renal function blood test results endocrine function nutritional status duration of operation intraoperative blood loss and course of anesthesia These factors were all included in the scoring system There were signifi cant differences in the scores between the patients with and without postoperative complications between the patients died and survived with complications and between the patients died and survived without complications The receiver operating characteristic curves showed that the M-POSSUM could accurately predict postoperative complications and mortality

bull CONCLUSION M-POSSUM correlates well with postoperative complications and mortality and is more accurate than POSSUM

physiological and operative severityscore for the enumeration of mortality and morbidity

(POSSUM)

bull BACKGROUND Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Models (VBHOM) adopted the approach of using a minimum data set to model outcome This study aimed to test such a model on a cohort of patients undergoing open elective and non-elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair METHODS A binary logistic regression model of risk of in-hospital mortality was built from the 2002-2004 submission to the UK National Vascular Database (NVD) (2718 patients) The subset of NVD data items used comprised serum levels of urea sodium and potassium haemoglobin white cell count sex age and mode of admission The model was applied prospectively using Hosmer-Lemeshow methodology to a test data set from the Cambridge Vascular Unit RESULTS The validation set contained 327 patients of whom 208 had elective AAA repair and 119 had emergency repair of a ruptured AAA Outcome following elective and non-elective AAA repair could be described accurately using the same model The overall mean predicted risk of death was 1413 per cent and 48 deaths were predicted The actual number of deaths was 53 (chi(2) = 840 10 df P = 0590 no evidence of lack of fit) The model also demonstrated good discrimination (c-index = 0852) CONCLUSION The VBHOM approach has the advantage of using simple objective clinical data that are easy to collect routinely The VBHOM data items potentially allow prediction of risk in an individual patient before aneurysm surgery (c) 2007 British Journal of

bull BACKGROUND amp OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to apply three simple risk - scoring systems to prospectively collected data on all elective open Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) operations in the Cambridge Academic Vascular Unit over a 6 - year period (January 1998 to January 2004) to compare their predictive values and to evaluate their validity with respect to prediction of mortality and post-operative complications METHODS 204 patients underwent elective open infra-renal AAA repair Data were prospectively collected and risk assessment scores were calculated for mortality and morbidity according to the Glasgow Aneurysm Score (GAS) VBHOM (Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Models) and Estimation of Physiologic Ability and Surgical Stress (E-PASS) RESULTS The mortality rate was 63 (13204) and 59 (121204) experienced a post-operative complication (30-day outcome) For GAS VBHOM and E-PASS the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve analysis for prediction of in-hospital mortality showed area under the curve (AUC) of 084 (95 confidence interval [CI] 076 to 092 plt00001) 082 (95 CI 068 to 095 p=00001) and 092 (95 CI 087 to 097 plt00001) respectively There were also significant correlations between post-operative complications and length of hospital stay and each of the three scores but the correlation was substantially higher in the case of E-PASS CONCLUSIONS All three scoring systems accurately predicted the risk of mortality and morbidity in patients undergoing elective open AAA repair Among these E-PASS seemed to be the most accurate predictor in this patient population

Systematic Review of Current EvidencePatterson BO Holt PJ Hinchliffe R Loftus IM Thompson MM

bull OBJECTIVE To examine and compare existing pre-operative risk prediction methods for elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair DESIGN Systematic review METHODS Medline EMBASE and the Cochrane library were searched for articles that related to risk prediction models used for elective AAA repair RESULTS 680 abstracts were reviewed and after exclusions 28 articles encompassing 10 risk models were identified The most frequently studied of these were the Glasgow Aneurysm Score (GAS) the Physiological and Operative Severity Score for enUmeration of Mortality (POSSUM) predictor equation and the Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Model (VBHOM) All models had strengths and weaknesses and some had unique features which were identified and discussed CONCLUSION The GAS appeared to be the most useful and consistently validated score at present for open repair Other systems were either not validated fully or were not consistently accurate Some had significant drawbacks which appeared to severely limit their clinical application Recent work has shown that no scores consistently predicted the risk associated with endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) Pre-operative risk stratification is a vital component of modern surgical practice and we propose the need for a comprehensive new risk scoring method for AAA repair incorporating anatomical and physiological data

Apache IIIbull the APACHE III is used to produce an equation predicting hospital mortality

after the first day of ICU treatment There are 4 components age major disease category (reason for ICU admission) acute (current) physiology and prior site of healthcare (eg hospital floor emergency room etc) The physiologic variables require scoring of the following vital sign and laboratory abnormalities pulse rate mean blood pressure temperature respiratory rate PaO2P (A-a) O2 hematocrit white blood cell count creatinine urine output blood urea nitrogen serum sodium albumin bilirubin glucose acid-base status and neurologic status

bull The last 2 physiologic parameters are hybrid values specific to APACHE III [3] It is important to note that an additional scoring variable must be used to update the APACHE III score based on changes in the patients physiologic status

bull We compared the performance of SAPS 3 with SAPS II and the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score in surgical ICU patients

bull Methods Prospectively collected data from all patients admitted to a German university hospital postoperative ICU between August 2004 and December 2005 were analysed The probability of ICU mortality was calculated for SAPS II APACHE II adjusted APACHE II (adj-APACHE II) SAPS 3 and SAPS 3 customized for Europe [C-SAPS3 (Eu)] using standard formulas To improve calibration of the prognostic models a first-level customization was performed using logistic regression on the original scores and the corresponding probability of ICU death was calculated for the customized scores (C-SAPS II C-SAPS 3 and C-APACHE II)

bull Results The study included 1851 patients Hospital mortality was 9 Hosmer and Lemeshow statistics showed poor calibration for SAPS II APACHE II adj-APACHE II SAPS 3 and C-SAPS 3 (Eu) but good calibration for C-SAPS II C-APACHE II and C-SAPS 3 Discrimination was generally good for all models [area under the receiver operating characteristic curve ranged from 078 (C-APACHE II) to 089 (C-SAPS 3)] The C-SAPS 3 score appeared to have the best calibration curve on visual inspection

bull Conclusions In this group of surgical ICU patients the performance of SAPS 3 was similar to that of APACHE II and SAPS II Customization improved the calibration of all prognostic models

Application of Portsmouth modification of physiological and operative severity scoring system for enumeration of morbidity and mortality (P-POSSUM) in pancreatic surgery

Appou Tamijmarane Chandra S Bhati Darius F Mirza Simon R BramhallDavid A Mayer Stephen J Wigmore and John AC BuckelsWorld Journal of Surgical

Oncology 2008 639 doi1011861477-7819-6-39bull Abstract Background Pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) is associated with high incidence of morbidity and mortality We have applied P-POSSUM in predicting the incidence of outcome after PD to identify those who are at the highest risk of developing complications

bull Method A prospective database of 241 consecutive patients who had PD from January 2002 to September 2005 was retrospectively updated and analysed P-POSSUM score was calculated for each patient and correlated with observed morbidity and mortality

bull Results 30 days mortality was 78 and morbidity was 448 Mean physiological score was 1607 plusmn 330 Mean operative score was 1367 plusmn 342 Mean operative score rose to 2028 plusmn 252 for the complex major operation (p lt 0001) with 2 fold increase in morbidity and 35 fold increase in mortality For groups of patients with a physiological score of (less than or equal to) 18 the OP

bull (observed to Predicted) morbidity ratio was 13ndash14 and with a physiological score of gt18 the OP ratio was nearer to 1 Physiological score and white cell count were significant in a multivariate model

bull Conclusion P-POSSUM underestimated the mortality rate While P-POSSUM analysis gave a truer prediction of morbidity underestimation of morbidity and potential for systematic inaccuracy in prediction of complications at lower risk levels is a significant issue for pancreatic surgery

bull BACKGROUND Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Models (VBHOM) adopted the approach of using a minimum data set to model outcome This study aimed to test such a model on a cohort of patients undergoing open elective and non-elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair METHODS A binary logistic regression model of risk of in-hospital mortality was built from the 2002-2004 submission to the UK National Vascular Database (NVD) (2718 patients) The subset of NVD data items used comprised serum levels of urea sodium and potassium haemoglobin white cell count sex age and mode of admission The model was applied prospectively using Hosmer-Lemeshow methodology to a test data set from the Cambridge Vascular Unit RESULTS The validation set contained 327 patients of whom 208 had elective AAA repair and 119 had emergency repair of a ruptured AAA Outcome following elective and non-elective AAA repair could be described accurately using the same model The overall mean predicted risk of death was 1413 per cent and 48 deaths were predicted The actual number of deaths was 53 (chi(2) = 840 10 df P = 0590 no evidence of lack of fit) The model also demonstrated good discrimination (c-index = 0852) CONCLUSION The VBHOM approach has the advantage of using simple objective clinical data that are easy to collect routinely The VBHOM data items potentially allow prediction of risk in an individual patient before aneurysm surgery (c) 2007 British Journal of

bull BACKGROUND amp OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to apply three simple risk - scoring systems to prospectively collected data on all elective open Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) operations in the Cambridge Academic Vascular Unit over a 6 - year period (January 1998 to January 2004) to compare their predictive values and to evaluate their validity with respect to prediction of mortality and post-operative complications METHODS 204 patients underwent elective open infra-renal AAA repair Data were prospectively collected and risk assessment scores were calculated for mortality and morbidity according to the Glasgow Aneurysm Score (GAS) VBHOM (Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Models) and Estimation of Physiologic Ability and Surgical Stress (E-PASS) RESULTS The mortality rate was 63 (13204) and 59 (121204) experienced a post-operative complication (30-day outcome) For GAS VBHOM and E-PASS the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve analysis for prediction of in-hospital mortality showed area under the curve (AUC) of 084 (95 confidence interval [CI] 076 to 092 plt00001) 082 (95 CI 068 to 095 p=00001) and 092 (95 CI 087 to 097 plt00001) respectively There were also significant correlations between post-operative complications and length of hospital stay and each of the three scores but the correlation was substantially higher in the case of E-PASS CONCLUSIONS All three scoring systems accurately predicted the risk of mortality and morbidity in patients undergoing elective open AAA repair Among these E-PASS seemed to be the most accurate predictor in this patient population

Systematic Review of Current EvidencePatterson BO Holt PJ Hinchliffe R Loftus IM Thompson MM

bull OBJECTIVE To examine and compare existing pre-operative risk prediction methods for elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair DESIGN Systematic review METHODS Medline EMBASE and the Cochrane library were searched for articles that related to risk prediction models used for elective AAA repair RESULTS 680 abstracts were reviewed and after exclusions 28 articles encompassing 10 risk models were identified The most frequently studied of these were the Glasgow Aneurysm Score (GAS) the Physiological and Operative Severity Score for enUmeration of Mortality (POSSUM) predictor equation and the Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Model (VBHOM) All models had strengths and weaknesses and some had unique features which were identified and discussed CONCLUSION The GAS appeared to be the most useful and consistently validated score at present for open repair Other systems were either not validated fully or were not consistently accurate Some had significant drawbacks which appeared to severely limit their clinical application Recent work has shown that no scores consistently predicted the risk associated with endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) Pre-operative risk stratification is a vital component of modern surgical practice and we propose the need for a comprehensive new risk scoring method for AAA repair incorporating anatomical and physiological data

Apache IIIbull the APACHE III is used to produce an equation predicting hospital mortality

after the first day of ICU treatment There are 4 components age major disease category (reason for ICU admission) acute (current) physiology and prior site of healthcare (eg hospital floor emergency room etc) The physiologic variables require scoring of the following vital sign and laboratory abnormalities pulse rate mean blood pressure temperature respiratory rate PaO2P (A-a) O2 hematocrit white blood cell count creatinine urine output blood urea nitrogen serum sodium albumin bilirubin glucose acid-base status and neurologic status

bull The last 2 physiologic parameters are hybrid values specific to APACHE III [3] It is important to note that an additional scoring variable must be used to update the APACHE III score based on changes in the patients physiologic status

bull We compared the performance of SAPS 3 with SAPS II and the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score in surgical ICU patients

bull Methods Prospectively collected data from all patients admitted to a German university hospital postoperative ICU between August 2004 and December 2005 were analysed The probability of ICU mortality was calculated for SAPS II APACHE II adjusted APACHE II (adj-APACHE II) SAPS 3 and SAPS 3 customized for Europe [C-SAPS3 (Eu)] using standard formulas To improve calibration of the prognostic models a first-level customization was performed using logistic regression on the original scores and the corresponding probability of ICU death was calculated for the customized scores (C-SAPS II C-SAPS 3 and C-APACHE II)

bull Results The study included 1851 patients Hospital mortality was 9 Hosmer and Lemeshow statistics showed poor calibration for SAPS II APACHE II adj-APACHE II SAPS 3 and C-SAPS 3 (Eu) but good calibration for C-SAPS II C-APACHE II and C-SAPS 3 Discrimination was generally good for all models [area under the receiver operating characteristic curve ranged from 078 (C-APACHE II) to 089 (C-SAPS 3)] The C-SAPS 3 score appeared to have the best calibration curve on visual inspection

bull Conclusions In this group of surgical ICU patients the performance of SAPS 3 was similar to that of APACHE II and SAPS II Customization improved the calibration of all prognostic models

bull AIM To establish a scoring system for predicting the incidence of postoperative complications and mortality in general surgery based on the physiological and operative severity score for the enumeration of mortality and morbidity (POSSUM) and to evaluate its effi cacy

bull METHODS Eighty-four patients with postoperative complications or death and 172 patients without postoperative complications who underwent surgery in our department during the previous 2 years were retrospectively analyzed by logistic regression Fifteen indexes were investigated including age cardiovascular function respiratory function blood test results endocrine function central nervous system function hepatic function renal function nutritional status extent of operative trauma and course of anesthesia Modifi ed POSSUM (M-POSSUM) was developed using significant risk factors with its effi cacy evaluated

bull RESULTS The significant risk factors were found to be age cardiovascular function respiratory function hepatic function renal function blood test results endocrine function nutritional status duration of operation intraoperative blood loss and course of anesthesia These factors were all included in the scoring system There were signifi cant differences in the scores between the patients with and without postoperative complications between the patients died and survived with complications and between the patients died and survived without complications The receiver operating characteristic curves showed that the M-POSSUM could accurately predict postoperative complications and mortality

bull CONCLUSION M-POSSUM correlates well with postoperative complications and mortality and is more accurate than POSSUM

physiological and operative severityscore for the enumeration of mortality and morbidity

(POSSUM)

bull POSSUM is limited by its somewhat subjective nature and incomplete evaluation of cardiac signs We propose the modified POSSUM (M-POSSUM)as a reasonable practical and objective scoring system that can be used across a broad disease spectrum in general surgery

bull BACKGROUND Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Models (VBHOM) adopted the approach of using a minimum data set to model outcome This study aimed to test such a model on a cohort of patients undergoing open elective and non-elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair METHODS A binary logistic regression model of risk of in-hospital mortality was built from the 2002-2004 submission to the UK National Vascular Database (NVD) (2718 patients) The subset of NVD data items used comprised serum levels of urea sodium and potassium haemoglobin white cell count sex age and mode of admission The model was applied prospectively using Hosmer-Lemeshow methodology to a test data set from the Cambridge Vascular Unit RESULTS The validation set contained 327 patients of whom 208 had elective AAA repair and 119 had emergency repair of a ruptured AAA Outcome following elective and non-elective AAA repair could be described accurately using the same model The overall mean predicted risk of death was 1413 per cent and 48 deaths were predicted The actual number of deaths was 53 (chi(2) = 840 10 df P = 0590 no evidence of lack of fit) The model also demonstrated good discrimination (c-index = 0852) CONCLUSION The VBHOM approach has the advantage of using simple objective clinical data that are easy to collect routinely The VBHOM data items potentially allow prediction of risk in an individual patient before aneurysm surgery (c) 2007 British Journal of

bull BACKGROUND amp OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to apply three simple risk - scoring systems to prospectively collected data on all elective open Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) operations in the Cambridge Academic Vascular Unit over a 6 - year period (January 1998 to January 2004) to compare their predictive values and to evaluate their validity with respect to prediction of mortality and post-operative complications METHODS 204 patients underwent elective open infra-renal AAA repair Data were prospectively collected and risk assessment scores were calculated for mortality and morbidity according to the Glasgow Aneurysm Score (GAS) VBHOM (Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Models) and Estimation of Physiologic Ability and Surgical Stress (E-PASS) RESULTS The mortality rate was 63 (13204) and 59 (121204) experienced a post-operative complication (30-day outcome) For GAS VBHOM and E-PASS the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve analysis for prediction of in-hospital mortality showed area under the curve (AUC) of 084 (95 confidence interval [CI] 076 to 092 plt00001) 082 (95 CI 068 to 095 p=00001) and 092 (95 CI 087 to 097 plt00001) respectively There were also significant correlations between post-operative complications and length of hospital stay and each of the three scores but the correlation was substantially higher in the case of E-PASS CONCLUSIONS All three scoring systems accurately predicted the risk of mortality and morbidity in patients undergoing elective open AAA repair Among these E-PASS seemed to be the most accurate predictor in this patient population

Systematic Review of Current EvidencePatterson BO Holt PJ Hinchliffe R Loftus IM Thompson MM

bull OBJECTIVE To examine and compare existing pre-operative risk prediction methods for elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair DESIGN Systematic review METHODS Medline EMBASE and the Cochrane library were searched for articles that related to risk prediction models used for elective AAA repair RESULTS 680 abstracts were reviewed and after exclusions 28 articles encompassing 10 risk models were identified The most frequently studied of these were the Glasgow Aneurysm Score (GAS) the Physiological and Operative Severity Score for enUmeration of Mortality (POSSUM) predictor equation and the Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Model (VBHOM) All models had strengths and weaknesses and some had unique features which were identified and discussed CONCLUSION The GAS appeared to be the most useful and consistently validated score at present for open repair Other systems were either not validated fully or were not consistently accurate Some had significant drawbacks which appeared to severely limit their clinical application Recent work has shown that no scores consistently predicted the risk associated with endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) Pre-operative risk stratification is a vital component of modern surgical practice and we propose the need for a comprehensive new risk scoring method for AAA repair incorporating anatomical and physiological data

Apache IIIbull the APACHE III is used to produce an equation predicting hospital mortality

after the first day of ICU treatment There are 4 components age major disease category (reason for ICU admission) acute (current) physiology and prior site of healthcare (eg hospital floor emergency room etc) The physiologic variables require scoring of the following vital sign and laboratory abnormalities pulse rate mean blood pressure temperature respiratory rate PaO2P (A-a) O2 hematocrit white blood cell count creatinine urine output blood urea nitrogen serum sodium albumin bilirubin glucose acid-base status and neurologic status

bull The last 2 physiologic parameters are hybrid values specific to APACHE III [3] It is important to note that an additional scoring variable must be used to update the APACHE III score based on changes in the patients physiologic status

bull We compared the performance of SAPS 3 with SAPS II and the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score in surgical ICU patients

bull Methods Prospectively collected data from all patients admitted to a German university hospital postoperative ICU between August 2004 and December 2005 were analysed The probability of ICU mortality was calculated for SAPS II APACHE II adjusted APACHE II (adj-APACHE II) SAPS 3 and SAPS 3 customized for Europe [C-SAPS3 (Eu)] using standard formulas To improve calibration of the prognostic models a first-level customization was performed using logistic regression on the original scores and the corresponding probability of ICU death was calculated for the customized scores (C-SAPS II C-SAPS 3 and C-APACHE II)

bull Results The study included 1851 patients Hospital mortality was 9 Hosmer and Lemeshow statistics showed poor calibration for SAPS II APACHE II adj-APACHE II SAPS 3 and C-SAPS 3 (Eu) but good calibration for C-SAPS II C-APACHE II and C-SAPS 3 Discrimination was generally good for all models [area under the receiver operating characteristic curve ranged from 078 (C-APACHE II) to 089 (C-SAPS 3)] The C-SAPS 3 score appeared to have the best calibration curve on visual inspection

bull Conclusions In this group of surgical ICU patients the performance of SAPS 3 was similar to that of APACHE II and SAPS II Customization improved the calibration of all prognostic models

Apache IIIbull the APACHE III is used to produce an equation predicting hospital mortality

after the first day of ICU treatment There are 4 components age major disease category (reason for ICU admission) acute (current) physiology and prior site of healthcare (eg hospital floor emergency room etc) The physiologic variables require scoring of the following vital sign and laboratory abnormalities pulse rate mean blood pressure temperature respiratory rate PaO2P (A-a) O2 hematocrit white blood cell count creatinine urine output blood urea nitrogen serum sodium albumin bilirubin glucose acid-base status and neurologic status

bull The last 2 physiologic parameters are hybrid values specific to APACHE III [3] It is important to note that an additional scoring variable must be used to update the APACHE III score based on changes in the patients physiologic status

bull We compared the performance of SAPS 3 with SAPS II and the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score in surgical ICU patients

bull Methods Prospectively collected data from all patients admitted to a German university hospital postoperative ICU between August 2004 and December 2005 were analysed The probability of ICU mortality was calculated for SAPS II APACHE II adjusted APACHE II (adj-APACHE II) SAPS 3 and SAPS 3 customized for Europe [C-SAPS3 (Eu)] using standard formulas To improve calibration of the prognostic models a first-level customization was performed using logistic regression on the original scores and the corresponding probability of ICU death was calculated for the customized scores (C-SAPS II C-SAPS 3 and C-APACHE II)

bull Results The study included 1851 patients Hospital mortality was 9 Hosmer and Lemeshow statistics showed poor calibration for SAPS II APACHE II adj-APACHE II SAPS 3 and C-SAPS 3 (Eu) but good calibration for C-SAPS II C-APACHE II and C-SAPS 3 Discrimination was generally good for all models [area under the receiver operating characteristic curve ranged from 078 (C-APACHE II) to 089 (C-SAPS 3)] The C-SAPS 3 score appeared to have the best calibration curve on visual inspection

bull Conclusions In this group of surgical ICU patients the performance of SAPS 3 was similar to that of APACHE II and SAPS II Customization improved the calibration of all prognostic models

Application of Portsmouth modification of physiological and operative severity scoring system for enumeration of morbidity and mortality (P-POSSUM) in pancreatic surgery

Appou Tamijmarane Chandra S Bhati Darius F Mirza Simon R BramhallDavid A Mayer Stephen J Wigmore and John AC BuckelsWorld Journal of Surgical

Oncology 2008 639 doi1011861477-7819-6-39bull Abstract Background Pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) is associated with high incidence of morbidity and mortality We have applied P-POSSUM in predicting the incidence of outcome after PD to identify those who are at the highest risk of developing complications

bull Method A prospective database of 241 consecutive patients who had PD from January 2002 to September 2005 was retrospectively updated and analysed P-POSSUM score was calculated for each patient and correlated with observed morbidity and mortality

bull Results 30 days mortality was 78 and morbidity was 448 Mean physiological score was 1607 plusmn 330 Mean operative score was 1367 plusmn 342 Mean operative score rose to 2028 plusmn 252 for the complex major operation (p lt 0001) with 2 fold increase in morbidity and 35 fold increase in mortality For groups of patients with a physiological score of (less than or equal to) 18 the OP

bull (observed to Predicted) morbidity ratio was 13ndash14 and with a physiological score of gt18 the OP ratio was nearer to 1 Physiological score and white cell count were significant in a multivariate model

bull Conclusion P-POSSUM underestimated the mortality rate While P-POSSUM analysis gave a truer prediction of morbidity underestimation of morbidity and potential for systematic inaccuracy in prediction of complications at lower risk levels is a significant issue for pancreatic surgery

Apache IIIbull the APACHE III is used to produce an equation predicting hospital mortality

after the first day of ICU treatment There are 4 components age major disease category (reason for ICU admission) acute (current) physiology and prior site of healthcare (eg hospital floor emergency room etc) The physiologic variables require scoring of the following vital sign and laboratory abnormalities pulse rate mean blood pressure temperature respiratory rate PaO2P (A-a) O2 hematocrit white blood cell count creatinine urine output blood urea nitrogen serum sodium albumin bilirubin glucose acid-base status and neurologic status

bull The last 2 physiologic parameters are hybrid values specific to APACHE III [3] It is important to note that an additional scoring variable must be used to update the APACHE III score based on changes in the patients physiologic status

Oncology 2008 639 doi1011861477-7819-6-39bull Abstract Background Pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) is associated with high incidence of morbidity and mortality We have applied P-POSSUM in predicting the incidence of outcome after PD to identify those who are at the highest risk of developing complications

bull Method A prospective database of 241 consecutive patients who had PD from January 2002 to September 2005 was retrospectively updated and analysed P-POSSUM score was calculated for each patient and correlated with observed morbidity and mortality

bull Results 30 days mortality was 78 and morbidity was 448 Mean physiological score was 1607 plusmn 330 Mean operative score was 1367 plusmn 342 Mean operative score rose to 2028 plusmn 252 for the complex major operation (p lt 0001) with 2 fold increase in morbidity and 35 fold increase in mortality For groups of patients with a physiological score of (less than or equal to) 18 the OP

bull (observed to Predicted) morbidity ratio was 13ndash14 and with a physiological score of gt18 the OP ratio was nearer to 1 Physiological score and white cell count were significant in a multivariate model

bull Conclusion P-POSSUM underestimated the mortality rate While P-POSSUM analysis gave a truer prediction of morbidity underestimation of morbidity and potential for systematic inaccuracy in prediction of complications at lower risk levels is a significant issue for pancreatic surgery

bull BACKGROUND Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Models (VBHOM) adopted the approach of using a minimum data set to model outcome This study aimed to test such a model on a cohort of patients undergoing open elective and non-elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair METHODS A binary logistic regression model of risk of in-hospital mortality was built from the 2002-2004 submission to the UK National Vascular Database (NVD) (2718 patients) The subset of NVD data items used comprised serum levels of urea sodium and potassium haemoglobin white cell count sex age and mode of admission The model was applied prospectively using Hosmer-Lemeshow methodology to a test data set from the Cambridge Vascular Unit RESULTS The validation set contained 327 patients of whom 208 had elective AAA repair and 119 had emergency repair of a ruptured AAA Outcome following elective and non-elective AAA repair could be described accurately using the same model The overall mean predicted risk of death was 1413 per cent and 48 deaths were predicted The actual number of deaths was 53 (chi(2) = 840 10 df P = 0590 no evidence of lack of fit) The model also demonstrated good discrimination (c-index = 0852) CONCLUSION The VBHOM approach has the advantage of using simple objective clinical data that are easy to collect routinely The VBHOM data items potentially allow prediction of risk in an individual patient before aneurysm surgery (c) 2007 British Journal of

bull BACKGROUND amp OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to apply three simple risk - scoring systems to prospectively collected data on all elective open Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) operations in the Cambridge Academic Vascular Unit over a 6 - year period (January 1998 to January 2004) to compare their predictive values and to evaluate their validity with respect to prediction of mortality and post-operative complications METHODS 204 patients underwent elective open infra-renal AAA repair Data were prospectively collected and risk assessment scores were calculated for mortality and morbidity according to the Glasgow Aneurysm Score (GAS) VBHOM (Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Models) and Estimation of Physiologic Ability and Surgical Stress (E-PASS) RESULTS The mortality rate was 63 (13204) and 59 (121204) experienced a post-operative complication (30-day outcome) For GAS VBHOM and E-PASS the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve analysis for prediction of in-hospital mortality showed area under the curve (AUC) of 084 (95 confidence interval [CI] 076 to 092 plt00001) 082 (95 CI 068 to 095 p=00001) and 092 (95 CI 087 to 097 plt00001) respectively There were also significant correlations between post-operative complications and length of hospital stay and each of the three scores but the correlation was substantially higher in the case of E-PASS CONCLUSIONS All three scoring systems accurately predicted the risk of mortality and morbidity in patients undergoing elective open AAA repair Among these E-PASS seemed to be the most accurate predictor in this patient population

bull OBJECTIVE To examine and compare existing pre-operative risk prediction methods for elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair DESIGN Systematic review METHODS Medline EMBASE and the Cochrane library were searched for articles that related to risk prediction models used for elective AAA repair RESULTS 680 abstracts were reviewed and after exclusions 28 articles encompassing 10 risk models were identified The most frequently studied of these were the Glasgow Aneurysm Score (GAS) the Physiological and Operative Severity Score for enUmeration of Mortality (POSSUM) predictor equation and the Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Model (VBHOM) All models had strengths and weaknesses and some had unique features which were identified and discussed CONCLUSION The GAS appeared to be the most useful and consistently validated score at present for open repair Other systems were either not validated fully or were not consistently accurate Some had significant drawbacks which appeared to severely limit their clinical application Recent work has shown that no scores consistently predicted the risk associated with endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) Pre-operative risk stratification is a vital component of modern surgical practice and we propose the need for a comprehensive new risk scoring method for AAA repair incorporating anatomical and physiological data

Apache IIIbull the APACHE III is used to produce an equation predicting hospital mortality

after the first day of ICU treatment There are 4 components age major disease category (reason for ICU admission) acute (current) physiology and prior site of healthcare (eg hospital floor emergency room etc) The physiologic variables require scoring of the following vital sign and laboratory abnormalities pulse rate mean blood pressure temperature respiratory rate PaO2P (A-a) O2 hematocrit white blood cell count creatinine urine output blood urea nitrogen serum sodium albumin bilirubin glucose acid-base status and neurologic status

bull The last 2 physiologic parameters are hybrid values specific to APACHE III [3] It is important to note that an additional scoring variable must be used to update the APACHE III score based on changes in the patients physiologic status

bull We compared the performance of SAPS 3 with SAPS II and the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score in surgical ICU patients

bull Methods Prospectively collected data from all patients admitted to a German university hospital postoperative ICU between August 2004 and December 2005 were analysed The probability of ICU mortality was calculated for SAPS II APACHE II adjusted APACHE II (adj-APACHE II) SAPS 3 and SAPS 3 customized for Europe [C-SAPS3 (Eu)] using standard formulas To improve calibration of the prognostic models a first-level customization was performed using logistic regression on the original scores and the corresponding probability of ICU death was calculated for the customized scores (C-SAPS II C-SAPS 3 and C-APACHE II)

bull Results The study included 1851 patients Hospital mortality was 9 Hosmer and Lemeshow statistics showed poor calibration for SAPS II APACHE II adj-APACHE II SAPS 3 and C-SAPS 3 (Eu) but good calibration for C-SAPS II C-APACHE II and C-SAPS 3 Discrimination was generally good for all models [area under the receiver operating characteristic curve ranged from 078 (C-APACHE II) to 089 (C-SAPS 3)] The C-SAPS 3 score appeared to have the best calibration curve on visual inspection

bull Conclusions In this group of surgical ICU patients the performance of SAPS 3 was similar to that of APACHE II and SAPS II Customization improved the calibration of all prognostic models

bull OBJECTIVE To examine and compare existing pre-operative risk prediction methods for elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair DESIGN Systematic review METHODS Medline EMBASE and the Cochrane library were searched for articles that related to risk prediction models used for elective AAA repair RESULTS 680 abstracts were reviewed and after exclusions 28 articles encompassing 10 risk models were identified The most frequently studied of these were the Glasgow Aneurysm Score (GAS) the Physiological and Operative Severity Score for enUmeration of Mortality (POSSUM) predictor equation and the Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Model (VBHOM) All models had strengths and weaknesses and some had unique features which were identified and discussed CONCLUSION The GAS appeared to be the most useful and consistently validated score at present for open repair Other systems were either not validated fully or were not consistently accurate Some had significant drawbacks which appeared to severely limit their clinical application Recent work has shown that no scores consistently predicted the risk associated with endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) Pre-operative risk stratification is a vital component of modern surgical practice and we propose the need for a comprehensive new risk scoring method for AAA repair incorporating anatomical and physiological data

Apache IIIbull the APACHE III is used to produce an equation predicting hospital mortality

after the first day of ICU treatment There are 4 components age major disease category (reason for ICU admission) acute (current) physiology and prior site of healthcare (eg hospital floor emergency room etc) The physiologic variables require scoring of the following vital sign and laboratory abnormalities pulse rate mean blood pressure temperature respiratory rate PaO2P (A-a) O2 hematocrit white blood cell count creatinine urine output blood urea nitrogen serum sodium albumin bilirubin glucose acid-base status and neurologic status

bull The last 2 physiologic parameters are hybrid values specific to APACHE III [3] It is important to note that an additional scoring variable must be used to update the APACHE III score based on changes in the patients physiologic status

bull We compared the performance of SAPS 3 with SAPS II and the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score in surgical ICU patients

bull Methods Prospectively collected data from all patients admitted to a German university hospital postoperative ICU between August 2004 and December 2005 were analysed The probability of ICU mortality was calculated for SAPS II APACHE II adjusted APACHE II (adj-APACHE II) SAPS 3 and SAPS 3 customized for Europe [C-SAPS3 (Eu)] using standard formulas To improve calibration of the prognostic models a first-level customization was performed using logistic regression on the original scores and the corresponding probability of ICU death was calculated for the customized scores (C-SAPS II C-SAPS 3 and C-APACHE II)

bull Results The study included 1851 patients Hospital mortality was 9 Hosmer and Lemeshow statistics showed poor calibration for SAPS II APACHE II adj-APACHE II SAPS 3 and C-SAPS 3 (Eu) but good calibration for C-SAPS II C-APACHE II and C-SAPS 3 Discrimination was generally good for all models [area under the receiver operating characteristic curve ranged from 078 (C-APACHE II) to 089 (C-SAPS 3)] The C-SAPS 3 score appeared to have the best calibration curve on visual inspection

bull Conclusions In this group of surgical ICU patients the performance of SAPS 3 was similar to that of APACHE II and SAPS II Customization improved the calibration of all prognostic models

Oncology 2008 639 doi1011861477-7819-6-39bull Abstract Background Pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) is associated with high incidence of morbidity and mortality We have applied P-POSSUM in predicting the incidence of outcome after PD to identify those who are at the highest risk of developing complications

bull Method A prospective database of 241 consecutive patients who had PD from January 2002 to September 2005 was retrospectively updated and analysed P-POSSUM score was calculated for each patient and correlated with observed morbidity and mortality

bull Results 30 days mortality was 78 and morbidity was 448 Mean physiological score was 1607 plusmn 330 Mean operative score was 1367 plusmn 342 Mean operative score rose to 2028 plusmn 252 for the complex major operation (p lt 0001) with 2 fold increase in morbidity and 35 fold increase in mortality For groups of patients with a physiological score of (less than or equal to) 18 the OP

bull (observed to Predicted) morbidity ratio was 13ndash14 and with a physiological score of gt18 the OP ratio was nearer to 1 Physiological score and white cell count were significant in a multivariate model

bull Conclusion P-POSSUM underestimated the mortality rate While P-POSSUM analysis gave a truer prediction of morbidity underestimation of morbidity and potential for systematic inaccuracy in prediction of complications at lower risk levels is a significant issue for pancreatic surgery

bull BACKGROUND Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Models (VBHOM) adopted the approach of using a minimum data set to model outcome This study aimed to test such a model on a cohort of patients undergoing open elective and non-elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair METHODS A binary logistic regression model of risk of in-hospital mortality was built from the 2002-2004 submission to the UK National Vascular Database (NVD) (2718 patients) The subset of NVD data items used comprised serum levels of urea sodium and potassium haemoglobin white cell count sex age and mode of admission The model was applied prospectively using Hosmer-Lemeshow methodology to a test data set from the Cambridge Vascular Unit RESULTS The validation set contained 327 patients of whom 208 had elective AAA repair and 119 had emergency repair of a ruptured AAA Outcome following elective and non-elective AAA repair could be described accurately using the same model The overall mean predicted risk of death was 1413 per cent and 48 deaths were predicted The actual number of deaths was 53 (chi(2) = 840 10 df P = 0590 no evidence of lack of fit) The model also demonstrated good discrimination (c-index = 0852) CONCLUSION The VBHOM approach has the advantage of using simple objective clinical data that are easy to collect routinely The VBHOM data items potentially allow prediction of risk in an individual patient before aneurysm surgery (c) 2007 British Journal of

bull BACKGROUND amp OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to apply three simple risk - scoring systems to prospectively collected data on all elective open Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) operations in the Cambridge Academic Vascular Unit over a 6 - year period (January 1998 to January 2004) to compare their predictive values and to evaluate their validity with respect to prediction of mortality and post-operative complications METHODS 204 patients underwent elective open infra-renal AAA repair Data were prospectively collected and risk assessment scores were calculated for mortality and morbidity according to the Glasgow Aneurysm Score (GAS) VBHOM (Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Models) and Estimation of Physiologic Ability and Surgical Stress (E-PASS) RESULTS The mortality rate was 63 (13204) and 59 (121204) experienced a post-operative complication (30-day outcome) For GAS VBHOM and E-PASS the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve analysis for prediction of in-hospital mortality showed area under the curve (AUC) of 084 (95 confidence interval [CI] 076 to 092 plt00001) 082 (95 CI 068 to 095 p=00001) and 092 (95 CI 087 to 097 plt00001) respectively There were also significant correlations between post-operative complications and length of hospital stay and each of the three scores but the correlation was substantially higher in the case of E-PASS CONCLUSIONS All three scoring systems accurately predicted the risk of mortality and morbidity in patients undergoing elective open AAA repair Among these E-PASS seemed to be the most accurate predictor in this patient population

bull BACKGROUND Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Models (VBHOM) adopted the approach of using a minimum data set to model outcome This study aimed to test such a model on a cohort of patients undergoing open elective and non-elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair METHODS A binary logistic regression model of risk of in-hospital mortality was built from the 2002-2004 submission to the UK National Vascular Database (NVD) (2718 patients) The subset of NVD data items used comprised serum levels of urea sodium and potassium haemoglobin white cell count sex age and mode of admission The model was applied prospectively using Hosmer-Lemeshow methodology to a test data set from the Cambridge Vascular Unit RESULTS The validation set contained 327 patients of whom 208 had elective AAA repair and 119 had emergency repair of a ruptured AAA Outcome following elective and non-elective AAA repair could be described accurately using the same model The overall mean predicted risk of death was 1413 per cent and 48 deaths were predicted The actual number of deaths was 53 (chi(2) = 840 10 df P = 0590 no evidence of lack of fit) The model also demonstrated good discrimination (c-index = 0852) CONCLUSION The VBHOM approach has the advantage of using simple objective clinical data that are easy to collect routinely The VBHOM data items potentially allow prediction of risk in an individual patient before aneurysm surgery (c) 2007 British Journal of

bull BACKGROUND amp OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to apply three simple risk - scoring systems to prospectively collected data on all elective open Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) operations in the Cambridge Academic Vascular Unit over a 6 - year period (January 1998 to January 2004) to compare their predictive values and to evaluate their validity with respect to prediction of mortality and post-operative complications METHODS 204 patients underwent elective open infra-renal AAA repair Data were prospectively collected and risk assessment scores were calculated for mortality and morbidity according to the Glasgow Aneurysm Score (GAS) VBHOM (Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Models) and Estimation of Physiologic Ability and Surgical Stress (E-PASS) RESULTS The mortality rate was 63 (13204) and 59 (121204) experienced a post-operative complication (30-day outcome) For GAS VBHOM and E-PASS the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve analysis for prediction of in-hospital mortality showed area under the curve (AUC) of 084 (95 confidence interval [CI] 076 to 092 plt00001) 082 (95 CI 068 to 095 p=00001) and 092 (95 CI 087 to 097 plt00001) respectively There were also significant correlations between post-operative complications and length of hospital stay and each of the three scores but the correlation was substantially higher in the case of E-PASS CONCLUSIONS All three scoring systems accurately predicted the risk of mortality and morbidity in patients undergoing elective open AAA repair Among these E-PASS seemed to be the most accurate predictor in this patient population

Systematic Review of Current EvidencePatterson BO Holt PJ Hinchliffe R Loftus IM Thompson MM

bull OBJECTIVE To examine and compare existing pre-operative risk prediction methods for elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair DESIGN Systematic review METHODS Medline EMBASE and the Cochrane library were searched for articles that related to risk prediction models used for elective AAA repair RESULTS 680 abstracts were reviewed and after exclusions 28 articles encompassing 10 risk models were identified The most frequently studied of these were the Glasgow Aneurysm Score (GAS) the Physiological and Operative Severity Score for enUmeration of Mortality (POSSUM) predictor equation and the Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Model (VBHOM) All models had strengths and weaknesses and some had unique features which were identified and discussed CONCLUSION The GAS appeared to be the most useful and consistently validated score at present for open repair Other systems were either not validated fully or were not consistently accurate Some had significant drawbacks which appeared to severely limit their clinical application Recent work has shown that no scores consistently predicted the risk associated with endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) Pre-operative risk stratification is a vital component of modern surgical practice and we propose the need for a comprehensive new risk scoring method for AAA repair incorporating anatomical and physiological data

Apache IIIbull the APACHE III is used to produce an equation predicting hospital mortality

after the first day of ICU treatment There are 4 components age major disease category (reason for ICU admission) acute (current) physiology and prior site of healthcare (eg hospital floor emergency room etc) The physiologic variables require scoring of the following vital sign and laboratory abnormalities pulse rate mean blood pressure temperature respiratory rate PaO2P (A-a) O2 hematocrit white blood cell count creatinine urine output blood urea nitrogen serum sodium albumin bilirubin glucose acid-base status and neurologic status

bull The last 2 physiologic parameters are hybrid values specific to APACHE III [3] It is important to note that an additional scoring variable must be used to update the APACHE III score based on changes in the patients physiologic status

bull We compared the performance of SAPS 3 with SAPS II and the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score in surgical ICU patients

bull Methods Prospectively collected data from all patients admitted to a German university hospital postoperative ICU between August 2004 and December 2005 were analysed The probability of ICU mortality was calculated for SAPS II APACHE II adjusted APACHE II (adj-APACHE II) SAPS 3 and SAPS 3 customized for Europe [C-SAPS3 (Eu)] using standard formulas To improve calibration of the prognostic models a first-level customization was performed using logistic regression on the original scores and the corresponding probability of ICU death was calculated for the customized scores (C-SAPS II C-SAPS 3 and C-APACHE II)

bull Results The study included 1851 patients Hospital mortality was 9 Hosmer and Lemeshow statistics showed poor calibration for SAPS II APACHE II adj-APACHE II SAPS 3 and C-SAPS 3 (Eu) but good calibration for C-SAPS II C-APACHE II and C-SAPS 3 Discrimination was generally good for all models [area under the receiver operating characteristic curve ranged from 078 (C-APACHE II) to 089 (C-SAPS 3)] The C-SAPS 3 score appeared to have the best calibration curve on visual inspection

bull Conclusions In this group of surgical ICU patients the performance of SAPS 3 was similar to that of APACHE II and SAPS II Customization improved the calibration of all prognostic models

Oncology 2008 639 doi1011861477-7819-6-39bull Abstract Background Pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) is associated with high incidence of morbidity and mortality We have applied P-POSSUM in predicting the incidence of outcome after PD to identify those who are at the highest risk of developing complications

bull Method A prospective database of 241 consecutive patients who had PD from January 2002 to September 2005 was retrospectively updated and analysed P-POSSUM score was calculated for each patient and correlated with observed morbidity and mortality

bull Results 30 days mortality was 78 and morbidity was 448 Mean physiological score was 1607 plusmn 330 Mean operative score was 1367 plusmn 342 Mean operative score rose to 2028 plusmn 252 for the complex major operation (p lt 0001) with 2 fold increase in morbidity and 35 fold increase in mortality For groups of patients with a physiological score of (less than or equal to) 18 the OP

bull (observed to Predicted) morbidity ratio was 13ndash14 and with a physiological score of gt18 the OP ratio was nearer to 1 Physiological score and white cell count were significant in a multivariate model

bull Conclusion P-POSSUM underestimated the mortality rate While P-POSSUM analysis gave a truer prediction of morbidity underestimation of morbidity and potential for systematic inaccuracy in prediction of complications at lower risk levels is a significant issue for pancreatic surgery

bull Results The study included 1851 patients Hospital mortality was 9 Hosmer and Lemeshow statistics showed poor calibration for SAPS II APACHE II adj-APACHE II SAPS 3 and C-SAPS 3 (Eu) but good calibration for C-SAPS II C-APACHE II and C-SAPS 3 Discrimination was generally good for all models [area under the receiver operating characteristic curve ranged from 078 (C-APACHE II) to 089 (C-SAPS 3)] The C-SAPS 3 score appeared to have the best calibration curve on visual inspection

bull Conclusions In this group of surgical ICU patients the performance of SAPS 3 was similar to that of APACHE II and SAPS II Customization improved the calibration of all prognostic models

Apache IIIbull the APACHE III is used to produce an equation predicting hospital mortality

after the first day of ICU treatment There are 4 components age major disease category (reason for ICU admission) acute (current) physiology and prior site of healthcare (eg hospital floor emergency room etc) The physiologic variables require scoring of the following vital sign and laboratory abnormalities pulse rate mean blood pressure temperature respiratory rate PaO2P (A-a) O2 hematocrit white blood cell count creatinine urine output blood urea nitrogen serum sodium albumin bilirubin glucose acid-base status and neurologic status

bull The last 2 physiologic parameters are hybrid values specific to APACHE III [3] It is important to note that an additional scoring variable must be used to update the APACHE III score based on changes in the patients physiologic status

Application of Portsmouth modification of physiological and operative severity scoring system for enumeration of morbidity and mortality (P-POSSUM) in pancreatic surgery

Oncology 2008 639 doi1011861477-7819-6-39bull Abstract Background Pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) is associated with high incidence of morbidity and mortality We have applied P-POSSUM in predicting the incidence of outcome after PD to identify those who are at the highest risk of developing complications

bull Method A prospective database of 241 consecutive patients who had PD from January 2002 to September 2005 was retrospectively updated and analysed P-POSSUM score was calculated for each patient and correlated with observed morbidity and mortality

bull Results 30 days mortality was 78 and morbidity was 448 Mean physiological score was 1607 plusmn 330 Mean operative score was 1367 plusmn 342 Mean operative score rose to 2028 plusmn 252 for the complex major operation (p lt 0001) with 2 fold increase in morbidity and 35 fold increase in mortality For groups of patients with a physiological score of (less than or equal to) 18 the OP

bull (observed to Predicted) morbidity ratio was 13ndash14 and with a physiological score of gt18 the OP ratio was nearer to 1 Physiological score and white cell count were significant in a multivariate model

bull Conclusion P-POSSUM underestimated the mortality rate While P-POSSUM analysis gave a truer prediction of morbidity underestimation of morbidity and potential for systematic inaccuracy in prediction of complications at lower risk levels is a significant issue for pancreatic surgery

Apache IIIbull the APACHE III is used to produce an equation predicting hospital mortality

after the first day of ICU treatment There are 4 components age major disease category (reason for ICU admission) acute (current) physiology and prior site of healthcare (eg hospital floor emergency room etc) The physiologic variables require scoring of the following vital sign and laboratory abnormalities pulse rate mean blood pressure temperature respiratory rate PaO2P (A-a) O2 hematocrit white blood cell count creatinine urine output blood urea nitrogen serum sodium albumin bilirubin glucose acid-base status and neurologic status

bull The last 2 physiologic parameters are hybrid values specific to APACHE III [3] It is important to note that an additional scoring variable must be used to update the APACHE III score based on changes in the patients physiologic status

bull We compared the performance of SAPS 3 with SAPS II and the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score in surgical ICU patients

bull Methods Prospectively collected data from all patients admitted to a German university hospital postoperative ICU between August 2004 and December 2005 were analysed The probability of ICU mortality was calculated for SAPS II APACHE II adjusted APACHE II (adj-APACHE II) SAPS 3 and SAPS 3 customized for Europe [C-SAPS3 (Eu)] using standard formulas To improve calibration of the prognostic models a first-level customization was performed using logistic regression on the original scores and the corresponding probability of ICU death was calculated for the customized scores (C-SAPS II C-SAPS 3 and C-APACHE II)

bull Results The study included 1851 patients Hospital mortality was 9 Hosmer and Lemeshow statistics showed poor calibration for SAPS II APACHE II adj-APACHE II SAPS 3 and C-SAPS 3 (Eu) but good calibration for C-SAPS II C-APACHE II and C-SAPS 3 Discrimination was generally good for all models [area under the receiver operating characteristic curve ranged from 078 (C-APACHE II) to 089 (C-SAPS 3)] The C-SAPS 3 score appeared to have the best calibration curve on visual inspection

bull Conclusions In this group of surgical ICU patients the performance of SAPS 3 was similar to that of APACHE II and SAPS II Customization improved the calibration of all prognostic models

bull BACKGROUND Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Models (VBHOM) adopted the approach of using a minimum data set to model outcome This study aimed to test such a model on a cohort of patients undergoing open elective and non-elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair METHODS A binary logistic regression model of risk of in-hospital mortality was built from the 2002-2004 submission to the UK National Vascular Database (NVD) (2718 patients) The subset of NVD data items used comprised serum levels of urea sodium and potassium haemoglobin white cell count sex age and mode of admission The model was applied prospectively using Hosmer-Lemeshow methodology to a test data set from the Cambridge Vascular Unit RESULTS The validation set contained 327 patients of whom 208 had elective AAA repair and 119 had emergency repair of a ruptured AAA Outcome following elective and non-elective AAA repair could be described accurately using the same model The overall mean predicted risk of death was 1413 per cent and 48 deaths were predicted The actual number of deaths was 53 (chi(2) = 840 10 df P = 0590 no evidence of lack of fit) The model also demonstrated good discrimination (c-index = 0852) CONCLUSION The VBHOM approach has the advantage of using simple objective clinical data that are easy to collect routinely The VBHOM data items potentially allow prediction of risk in an individual patient before aneurysm surgery (c) 2007 British Journal of

bull BACKGROUND amp OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to apply three simple risk - scoring systems to prospectively collected data on all elective open Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) operations in the Cambridge Academic Vascular Unit over a 6 - year period (January 1998 to January 2004) to compare their predictive values and to evaluate their validity with respect to prediction of mortality and post-operative complications METHODS 204 patients underwent elective open infra-renal AAA repair Data were prospectively collected and risk assessment scores were calculated for mortality and morbidity according to the Glasgow Aneurysm Score (GAS) VBHOM (Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Models) and Estimation of Physiologic Ability and Surgical Stress (E-PASS) RESULTS The mortality rate was 63 (13204) and 59 (121204) experienced a post-operative complication (30-day outcome) For GAS VBHOM and E-PASS the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve analysis for prediction of in-hospital mortality showed area under the curve (AUC) of 084 (95 confidence interval [CI] 076 to 092 plt00001) 082 (95 CI 068 to 095 p=00001) and 092 (95 CI 087 to 097 plt00001) respectively There were also significant correlations between post-operative complications and length of hospital stay and each of the three scores but the correlation was substantially higher in the case of E-PASS CONCLUSIONS All three scoring systems accurately predicted the risk of mortality and morbidity in patients undergoing elective open AAA repair Among these E-PASS seemed to be the most accurate predictor in this patient population

bull OBJECTIVE To examine and compare existing pre-operative risk prediction methods for elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair DESIGN Systematic review METHODS Medline EMBASE and the Cochrane library were searched for articles that related to risk prediction models used for elective AAA repair RESULTS 680 abstracts were reviewed and after exclusions 28 articles encompassing 10 risk models were identified The most frequently studied of these were the Glasgow Aneurysm Score (GAS) the Physiological and Operative Severity Score for enUmeration of Mortality (POSSUM) predictor equation and the Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Model (VBHOM) All models had strengths and weaknesses and some had unique features which were identified and discussed CONCLUSION The GAS appeared to be the most useful and consistently validated score at present for open repair Other systems were either not validated fully or were not consistently accurate Some had significant drawbacks which appeared to severely limit their clinical application Recent work has shown that no scores consistently predicted the risk associated with endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) Pre-operative risk stratification is a vital component of modern surgical practice and we propose the need for a comprehensive new risk scoring method for AAA repair incorporating anatomical and physiological data

bull OBJECTIVE To examine and compare existing pre-operative risk prediction methods for elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair DESIGN Systematic review METHODS Medline EMBASE and the Cochrane library were searched for articles that related to risk prediction models used for elective AAA repair RESULTS 680 abstracts were reviewed and after exclusions 28 articles encompassing 10 risk models were identified The most frequently studied of these were the Glasgow Aneurysm Score (GAS) the Physiological and Operative Severity Score for enUmeration of Mortality (POSSUM) predictor equation and the Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Model (VBHOM) All models had strengths and weaknesses and some had unique features which were identified and discussed CONCLUSION The GAS appeared to be the most useful and consistently validated score at present for open repair Other systems were either not validated fully or were not consistently accurate Some had significant drawbacks which appeared to severely limit their clinical application Recent work has shown that no scores consistently predicted the risk associated with endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) Pre-operative risk stratification is a vital component of modern surgical practice and we propose the need for a comprehensive new risk scoring method for AAA repair incorporating anatomical and physiological data

Apache IIIbull the APACHE III is used to produce an equation predicting hospital mortality

after the first day of ICU treatment There are 4 components age major disease category (reason for ICU admission) acute (current) physiology and prior site of healthcare (eg hospital floor emergency room etc) The physiologic variables require scoring of the following vital sign and laboratory abnormalities pulse rate mean blood pressure temperature respiratory rate PaO2P (A-a) O2 hematocrit white blood cell count creatinine urine output blood urea nitrogen serum sodium albumin bilirubin glucose acid-base status and neurologic status

bull The last 2 physiologic parameters are hybrid values specific to APACHE III [3] It is important to note that an additional scoring variable must be used to update the APACHE III score based on changes in the patients physiologic status

bull Results The study included 1851 patients Hospital mortality was 9 Hosmer and Lemeshow statistics showed poor calibration for SAPS II APACHE II adj-APACHE II SAPS 3 and C-SAPS 3 (Eu) but good calibration for C-SAPS II C-APACHE II and C-SAPS 3 Discrimination was generally good for all models [area under the receiver operating characteristic curve ranged from 078 (C-APACHE II) to 089 (C-SAPS 3)] The C-SAPS 3 score appeared to have the best calibration curve on visual inspection

bull Conclusions In this group of surgical ICU patients the performance of SAPS 3 was similar to that of APACHE II and SAPS II Customization improved the calibration of all prognostic models

bull OBJECTIVE To examine and compare existing pre-operative risk prediction methods for elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair DESIGN Systematic review METHODS Medline EMBASE and the Cochrane library were searched for articles that related to risk prediction models used for elective AAA repair RESULTS 680 abstracts were reviewed and after exclusions 28 articles encompassing 10 risk models were identified The most frequently studied of these were the Glasgow Aneurysm Score (GAS) the Physiological and Operative Severity Score for enUmeration of Mortality (POSSUM) predictor equation and the Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Model (VBHOM) All models had strengths and weaknesses and some had unique features which were identified and discussed CONCLUSION The GAS appeared to be the most useful and consistently validated score at present for open repair Other systems were either not validated fully or were not consistently accurate Some had significant drawbacks which appeared to severely limit their clinical application Recent work has shown that no scores consistently predicted the risk associated with endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) Pre-operative risk stratification is a vital component of modern surgical practice and we propose the need for a comprehensive new risk scoring method for AAA repair incorporating anatomical and physiological data

bull BACKGROUND Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Models (VBHOM) adopted the approach of using a minimum data set to model outcome This study aimed to test such a model on a cohort of patients undergoing open elective and non-elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair METHODS A binary logistic regression model of risk of in-hospital mortality was built from the 2002-2004 submission to the UK National Vascular Database (NVD) (2718 patients) The subset of NVD data items used comprised serum levels of urea sodium and potassium haemoglobin white cell count sex age and mode of admission The model was applied prospectively using Hosmer-Lemeshow methodology to a test data set from the Cambridge Vascular Unit RESULTS The validation set contained 327 patients of whom 208 had elective AAA repair and 119 had emergency repair of a ruptured AAA Outcome following elective and non-elective AAA repair could be described accurately using the same model The overall mean predicted risk of death was 1413 per cent and 48 deaths were predicted The actual number of deaths was 53 (chi(2) = 840 10 df P = 0590 no evidence of lack of fit) The model also demonstrated good discrimination (c-index = 0852) CONCLUSION The VBHOM approach has the advantage of using simple objective clinical data that are easy to collect routinely The VBHOM data items potentially allow prediction of risk in an individual patient before aneurysm surgery (c) 2007 British Journal of

bull BACKGROUND amp OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to apply three simple risk - scoring systems to prospectively collected data on all elective open Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) operations in the Cambridge Academic Vascular Unit over a 6 - year period (January 1998 to January 2004) to compare their predictive values and to evaluate their validity with respect to prediction of mortality and post-operative complications METHODS 204 patients underwent elective open infra-renal AAA repair Data were prospectively collected and risk assessment scores were calculated for mortality and morbidity according to the Glasgow Aneurysm Score (GAS) VBHOM (Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Models) and Estimation of Physiologic Ability and Surgical Stress (E-PASS) RESULTS The mortality rate was 63 (13204) and 59 (121204) experienced a post-operative complication (30-day outcome) For GAS VBHOM and E-PASS the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve analysis for prediction of in-hospital mortality showed area under the curve (AUC) of 084 (95 confidence interval [CI] 076 to 092 plt00001) 082 (95 CI 068 to 095 p=00001) and 092 (95 CI 087 to 097 plt00001) respectively There were also significant correlations between post-operative complications and length of hospital stay and each of the three scores but the correlation was substantially higher in the case of E-PASS CONCLUSIONS All three scoring systems accurately predicted the risk of mortality and morbidity in patients undergoing elective open AAA repair Among these E-PASS seemed to be the most accurate predictor in this patient population

bull BACKGROUND Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Models (VBHOM) adopted the approach of using a minimum data set to model outcome This study aimed to test such a model on a cohort of patients undergoing open elective and non-elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair METHODS A binary logistic regression model of risk of in-hospital mortality was built from the 2002-2004 submission to the UK National Vascular Database (NVD) (2718 patients) The subset of NVD data items used comprised serum levels of urea sodium and potassium haemoglobin white cell count sex age and mode of admission The model was applied prospectively using Hosmer-Lemeshow methodology to a test data set from the Cambridge Vascular Unit RESULTS The validation set contained 327 patients of whom 208 had elective AAA repair and 119 had emergency repair of a ruptured AAA Outcome following elective and non-elective AAA repair could be described accurately using the same model The overall mean predicted risk of death was 1413 per cent and 48 deaths were predicted The actual number of deaths was 53 (chi(2) = 840 10 df P = 0590 no evidence of lack of fit) The model also demonstrated good discrimination (c-index = 0852) CONCLUSION The VBHOM approach has the advantage of using simple objective clinical data that are easy to collect routinely The VBHOM data items potentially allow prediction of risk in an individual patient before aneurysm surgery (c) 2007 British Journal of

bull BACKGROUND amp OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to apply three simple risk - scoring systems to prospectively collected data on all elective open Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) operations in the Cambridge Academic Vascular Unit over a 6 - year period (January 1998 to January 2004) to compare their predictive values and to evaluate their validity with respect to prediction of mortality and post-operative complications METHODS 204 patients underwent elective open infra-renal AAA repair Data were prospectively collected and risk assessment scores were calculated for mortality and morbidity according to the Glasgow Aneurysm Score (GAS) VBHOM (Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Models) and Estimation of Physiologic Ability and Surgical Stress (E-PASS) RESULTS The mortality rate was 63 (13204) and 59 (121204) experienced a post-operative complication (30-day outcome) For GAS VBHOM and E-PASS the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve analysis for prediction of in-hospital mortality showed area under the curve (AUC) of 084 (95 confidence interval [CI] 076 to 092 plt00001) 082 (95 CI 068 to 095 p=00001) and 092 (95 CI 087 to 097 plt00001) respectively There were also significant correlations between post-operative complications and length of hospital stay and each of the three scores but the correlation was substantially higher in the case of E-PASS CONCLUSIONS All three scoring systems accurately predicted the risk of mortality and morbidity in patients undergoing elective open AAA repair Among these E-PASS seemed to be the most accurate predictor in this patient population

bull OBJECTIVE To examine and compare existing pre-operative risk prediction methods for elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair DESIGN Systematic review METHODS Medline EMBASE and the Cochrane library were searched for articles that related to risk prediction models used for elective AAA repair RESULTS 680 abstracts were reviewed and after exclusions 28 articles encompassing 10 risk models were identified The most frequently studied of these were the Glasgow Aneurysm Score (GAS) the Physiological and Operative Severity Score for enUmeration of Mortality (POSSUM) predictor equation and the Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Model (VBHOM) All models had strengths and weaknesses and some had unique features which were identified and discussed CONCLUSION The GAS appeared to be the most useful and consistently validated score at present for open repair Other systems were either not validated fully or were not consistently accurate Some had significant drawbacks which appeared to severely limit their clinical application Recent work has shown that no scores consistently predicted the risk associated with endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) Pre-operative risk stratification is a vital component of modern surgical practice and we propose the need for a comprehensive new risk scoring method for AAA repair incorporating anatomical and physiological data

bull BACKGROUND amp OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to apply three simple risk - scoring systems to prospectively collected data on all elective open Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) operations in the Cambridge Academic Vascular Unit over a 6 - year period (January 1998 to January 2004) to compare their predictive values and to evaluate their validity with respect to prediction of mortality and post-operative complications METHODS 204 patients underwent elective open infra-renal AAA repair Data were prospectively collected and risk assessment scores were calculated for mortality and morbidity according to the Glasgow Aneurysm Score (GAS) VBHOM (Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Models) and Estimation of Physiologic Ability and Surgical Stress (E-PASS) RESULTS The mortality rate was 63 (13204) and 59 (121204) experienced a post-operative complication (30-day outcome) For GAS VBHOM and E-PASS the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve analysis for prediction of in-hospital mortality showed area under the curve (AUC) of 084 (95 confidence interval [CI] 076 to 092 plt00001) 082 (95 CI 068 to 095 p=00001) and 092 (95 CI 087 to 097 plt00001) respectively There were also significant correlations between post-operative complications and length of hospital stay and each of the three scores but the correlation was substantially higher in the case of E-PASS CONCLUSIONS All three scoring systems accurately predicted the risk of mortality and morbidity in patients undergoing elective open AAA repair Among these E-PASS seemed to be the most accurate predictor in this patient population

bull OBJECTIVE To examine and compare existing pre-operative risk prediction methods for elective abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair DESIGN Systematic review METHODS Medline EMBASE and the Cochrane library were searched for articles that related to risk prediction models used for elective AAA repair RESULTS 680 abstracts were reviewed and after exclusions 28 articles encompassing 10 risk models were identified The most frequently studied of these were the Glasgow Aneurysm Score (GAS) the Physiological and Operative Severity Score for enUmeration of Mortality (POSSUM) predictor equation and the Vascular Biochemistry and Haematology Outcome Model (VBHOM) All models had strengths and weaknesses and some had unique features which were identified and discussed CONCLUSION The GAS appeared to be the most useful and consistently validated score at present for open repair Other systems were either not validated fully or were not consistently accurate Some had significant drawbacks which appeared to severely limit their clinical application Recent work has shown that no scores consistently predicted the risk associated with endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) Pre-operative risk stratification is a vital component of modern surgical practice and we propose the need for a comprehensive new risk scoring method for AAA repair incorporating anatomical and physiological data

Apache IIIbull the APACHE III is used to produce an equation predicting hospital mortality

after the first day of ICU treatment There are 4 components age major disease category (reason for ICU admission) acute (current) physiology and prior site of healthcare (eg hospital floor emergency room etc) The physiologic variables require scoring of the following vital sign and laboratory abnormalities pulse rate mean blood pressure temperature respiratory rate PaO2P (A-a) O2 hematocrit white blood cell count creatinine urine output blood urea nitrogen serum sodium albumin bilirubin glucose acid-base status and neurologic status

bull The last 2 physiologic parameters are hybrid values specific to APACHE III [3] It is important to note that an additional scoring variable must be used to update the APACHE III score based on changes in the patients physiologic status

bull We compared the performance of SAPS 3 with SAPS II and the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score in surgical ICU patients

bull Methods Prospectively collected data from all patients admitted to a German university hospital postoperative ICU between August 2004 and December 2005 were analysed The probability of ICU mortality was calculated for SAPS II APACHE II adjusted APACHE II (adj-APACHE II) SAPS 3 and SAPS 3 customized for Europe [C-SAPS3 (Eu)] using standard formulas To improve calibration of the prognostic models a first-level customization was performed using logistic regression on the original scores and the corresponding probability of ICU death was calculated for the customized scores (C-SAPS II C-SAPS 3 and C-APACHE II)

bull Results The study included 1851 patients Hospital mortality was 9 Hosmer and Lemeshow statistics showed poor calibration for SAPS II APACHE II adj-APACHE II SAPS 3 and C-SAPS 3 (Eu) but good calibration for C-SAPS II C-APACHE II and C-SAPS 3 Discrimination was generally good for all models [area under the receiver operating characteristic curve ranged from 078 (C-APACHE II) to 089 (C-SAPS 3)] The C-SAPS 3 score appeared to have the best calibration curve on visual inspection

bull Conclusions In this group of surgical ICU patients the performance of SAPS 3 was similar to that of APACHE II and SAPS II Customization improved the calibration of all prognostic models

bull We compared the performance of SAPS 3 with SAPS II and the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score in surgical ICU patients

bull Methods Prospectively collected data from all patients admitted to a German university hospital postoperative ICU between August 2004 and December 2005 were analysed The probability of ICU mortality was calculated for SAPS II APACHE II adjusted APACHE II (adj-APACHE II) SAPS 3 and SAPS 3 customized for Europe [C-SAPS3 (Eu)] using standard formulas To improve calibration of the prognostic models a first-level customization was performed using logistic regression on the original scores and the corresponding probability of ICU death was calculated for the customized scores (C-SAPS II C-SAPS 3 and C-APACHE II)

bull Results The study included 1851 patients Hospital mortality was 9 Hosmer and Lemeshow statistics showed poor calibration for SAPS II APACHE II adj-APACHE II SAPS 3 and C-SAPS 3 (Eu) but good calibration for C-SAPS II C-APACHE II and C-SAPS 3 Discrimination was generally good for all models [area under the receiver operating characteristic curve ranged from 078 (C-APACHE II) to 089 (C-SAPS 3)] The C-SAPS 3 score appeared to have the best calibration curve on visual inspection

bull Conclusions In this group of surgical ICU patients the performance of SAPS 3 was similar to that of APACHE II and SAPS II Customization improved the calibration of all prognostic models
