Why the study?
Does a model based on intra-abdominal pressure predict mortality in patients following major abdominal surgery?
Does a model based on intra-abdominal pressure predict mortality in patients following major abdominal surgery?
A model based on intra-abdominal pressure is proposed to predict mortality following major abdominal surgery, particularly for use in resource-limited ICUs.
Hypothesis-generating for intra-abdominal pressure-based mortality prediction after major abdominal surgery in resource-limited ICUs; prospective validation required before clinical use.
INTRODUCTION Early assessment of prognosis following major abdominal surgery is associated with decreased risk of complications and death. While scoring systems are useful in this regard, there is no index that enables comprehensive individual patient assessment and is also applicable in ICUs with limited resources. OBJECTIVES Demonstrate that a model based on intra-abdominal pressure […]
