Development of an Open-Heart Intraoperative Risk Scoring Model for Predicting a Prolonged Intensive Care Unit Stay

Abstract: Background. Based on a pilot study with 34 patients, applying the modified sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score intraoperatively could predict a prolonged ICU stay, albeit with only 4 risk factors. Our objective was to develop a practicable intraoperative model for predicting prolonged ICU stay which included more relevant risk factors. Methods. An extensive literature review identified 6 other intraoperative risk factors affecting prolonged ICU stay. Another 168 patients were then recruited for wh… Show more

“…An OHIR score model, published in 2014, comprised six risk factors: age (≥60 years), P/F ratio (≤200 mmHg), platelet count (≤120,000/mm 3 ), inotrope/vasopressor requirement (≥2 drugs), serum potassium (≤3.2 mEq/L), and atrial fibrillation (grading ≥2). 7 All except one risk factor (ie, age ≥60 years) are manageable. The model has a total score of 7, with a score ≥3 suggesting a potentially prolonged ICU stay.…”

“…An early recognition of patients at risk of prolonged LOS was the main objective of several studies. 17 Some applications of stratifying patients based on their expected LOS include identifying patients that can be selected for fast-track protocols to minimise ICU stay or bypass it altogether, 18 providing anaesthesiologists with enough time to correct risk factors 19 and facilitating the selection of resource planning strategy based on patient risk of prolonged LOS. With the current economic climate in Oman, hospitals are left with no option but to efficiently manage their resources.…”

“…They further noted that the existing tools were not reliable to identify patients for fast-track protocols and their model was superior to these systems. Another application was suggested by Tribuddharat and colleagues in the form of a prediction tool that can identify patients with prolonged LOS and may provide the anaesthesiologist with enough time to correct risk factors [ 28 ]. Targeting risk factors through aggressive treatment regimens prior to surgery may reduce the proportion of patients who require lengthy ICU LOS which can result in several medical, operational and financial benefits.…”
