Key result
Cr-POSSUM and P-POSSUM scores both predicted mortality after colorectal cancer resection without significant difference from observed values (P=0.19 and P=0.96, respectively).

Both scores may support postoperative risk stratification after colorectal resection; leaves open whether Cr-POSSUM improves calibration over P-POSSUM.

Does Cr-POSSUM perform better than P-POSSUM in predicting mortality after colorectal cancer resection?
Both P-POSSUM and Cr-POSSUM perform well in predicting mortality after colorectal cancer surgery, with Cr-POSSUM being a promising specialized tool for monitoring surgical outcomes.
Matija Horžić (2007) conducted an observational in Colorectal cancer (n=120). Cr-POSSUM score vs. P-POSSUM score was evaluated on In-hospital mortality rate and number of deaths within 30 days after surgery. Cr-POSSUM and P-POSSUM scores both predicted mortality after colorectal cancer resection without significant difference from observed values (P=0.19 and P=0.96, respectively).
