Predicted 30 day postoperative risk of morbidity for Bariatric patients - Evidencio
Predicted 30 day postoperative risk of morbidity for Bariatric patients
Although a risk score estimating postoperative mortality for patients undergoing gastric bypass exists, there is none predicting postoperative morbidity. Our objective was to develop a validated risk calculator for 30-day postoperative morbidity of bariatric surgery patients.
The primary outcomes variable was major morbidity. The major morbidity definition included 17 postoperative complications including deep wound infection, organ space infection, pneumonia, reintubation, on ventilator >48 hours, pulmonary embolus, deep venous thrombosis, renal insufficiency, acute renal failure, stroke, coma, cardiac arrest, myocardial infarction, transfusion >4 units packed red blood cells within 72 hours, sepsis, septic shock, and return to operating room. If any one of these complications were present, then major morbidity was considered as present for our analysis, otherwise absent. Urinary tract infections and superficial infections together formed the minor morbidity. Outcomes are tracked for 30 postoperative days in NSQIP except for hospital length of stay, which is tracked until discharge from hospital.
