Predicting adverse events in patients undergoing hepatectomy—validation of preoperative nomogram and risk score

Abstract

The Simons ordinal risk score can be useful in assessing postoperative morbidity among hepatectomy patients.

Developing and validating a preoperative risk score to predict 90‐day mortality after liver resection

“…However, these scores are on the basis of in‐hospital and perioperative mortality, instead of 90‐day mortality. Population‐based studies have also been performed to identify the preoperative factors predicting mortality and morbidity . However, these omitted some potentially important factors, such as preoperative albumin, platelet counts, biochemical parameters, and the status of preoperative chemotherapy.…”

“…Population-based studies have also been performed to identify the preoperative factors predicting mortality 14 and morbidity. 2,18,19 However, these omitted some potentially important factors, such as preoperative albumin, platelet counts, biochemical parameters, and the status of preoperative chemotherapy. The primary objective of this study is to identify preoperative factors that are associated with 90-day mortality, as well as to develop a risk score to help with risk stratification, preoperative counseling, and the consenting process.…”
