High morbidity in vascular procedures warrants perioperative caution; leaves open SCOUT score validation in larger cohorts.
Observational (n=170)
The SCOUT score provides a standardized, severity-weighted method to evaluate postoperative complications and quality of care in vascular surgery.
Pomposelli et al. (1997) conducted an observational in Major vascular procedures (n=170). SCOUT score method was evaluated on In-hospital morbidity and 30-day mortality. Prospective evaluation of 170 major vascular procedures using the SCOUT score identified an overall morbidity rate of 51% and a 30-day mortality rate of 1.8%.
