Key result
The Surgical Apgar Score is a simple 10-point scoring system that reliably identifies patients at risk for adverse perioperative outcomes and 30-day postoperative morbidity and mortality.
Why the study?
Does the Surgical Apgar Score reliably predict immediate and late postoperative morbidity and mortality?
Does the Surgical Apgar Score reliably predict immediate and late postoperative morbidity and mortality?
The Surgical Apgar Score is a simple and reliable tool for identifying patients at high risk for adverse perioperative outcomes, guiding surgical and anesthetic management.
May support perioperative risk stratification; leaves open prospective validation before routine adoption.
Surgical Apgar Score is a simple, 10-point scoring system in which a low score reliably identifies those patients at risk for adverse perioperative outcomes. Surgical techniques and anesthesia management should be directed in such a way that the Surgical Apgar Score remains higher to avoid postoperative morbidity and mortality.

Nair et al. (2018) conducted a review in Postoperative morbidity and mortality. Surgical Apgar Score was evaluated on Immediate and late postoperative morbidity and mortality. The Surgical Apgar Score is a simple 10-point scoring system that reliably identifies patients at risk for adverse perioperative outcomes and 30-day postoperative morbidity and mortality.
