Do POSSUM and its related models accurately predict postoperative mortality and morbidity in patients undergoing surgery for gastro-oesophageal cancer?
P-POSSUM is the most accurate among POSSUM-related models for predicting postoperative mortality in gastro-oesophageal cancer surgery, whereas POSSUM and O-POSSUM significantly overestimate mortality.
Dutta et al. (2010) studied this question.
