Why the study?
Can a 7-factor risk score predict postoperative respiratory failure in a multicentre European cohort?
Can a 7-factor risk score predict postoperative respiratory failure in a multicentre European cohort?
A novel 7-factor risk score can predict postoperative respiratory failure, potentially facilitating preoperative risk assessment.
May aid preoperative risk stratification in European cohorts; leaves open prospective validation before clinical adoption.
A risk score based on seven objective, easily assessed factors was able to predict which patients would develop PRF. The score could potentially facilitate preoperative risk assessment and management and provide a basis for testing interventions to improve outcomes.The study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (identifier NCT01346709).
