Does the PMP score accurately predict operative survival or death in general surgery patients?
The PMP score provides an accurate, bedside-available tool for predicting operative mortality in general surgery patients, which can be used for performance assessment.
May support bedside PMP use for preoperative mortality risk in general surgery; leaves open prospective validation before routine adoption.
PMP score is an accurate and simple tool for predicting operative survival or death using only preoperative variables that are readily available at the bedside. This can serve as a performance assessment tool between hospitals and individual surgeons.
