Key result
The P-POSSUM score accurately predicted surgical outcomes in emergency gastrointestinal surgeries, demonstrating no significant difference between observed and expected mortality (O:E ratio 0.71, p=0.23).

Absolute Event Rate: 6.25% vs 8.75%
p-value: p=0.23
The P-POSSUM score accurately predicts mortality and morbidity in emergency gastrointestinal surgeries and can be used as a reliable tool for surgical outcome audits.
Hota et al. (2017) conducted an observational in Emergency gastrointestinal surgeries (acute abdomen) (n=80). P-POSSUM score vs. Observed clinical outcomes was evaluated on Mortality (O:E ratio 0.71, p=0.23). The P-POSSUM score accurately predicted surgical outcomes in emergency gastrointestinal surgeries, demonstrating no significant difference between observed and expected mortality (O:E ratio 0.71, p=0.23).
