Key result

The EVAD scoring system was equivalent to or better than the CPRI and POSSUM systems for predicting all categories of complications after major lung resection.

Why the study?

Does the EVAD scoring system improve the prediction of complications after major lung resection compared to POSSUM and CPRI?

Population

Patients who underwent major resection for lung cancer.

Comparison

EVAD scoring system vs Physiological and Operative Severity Score for…

Implication

May support simpler risk stratification before lung resection; leaves open prospective validation versus CPRI and POSSUM.

Study Design

Type

Cohort (n=400)

Structured PICO

Does the EVAD scoring system improve the prediction of complications after major lung resection compared to POSSUM and CPRI?

P
Population
400 patients who underwent major resection for lung cancer, used to develop and evaluate the EVAD scoring system against POSSUM and CPRI for predicting postoperative complications.
E
Exposure
EVAD scoring system (utilizing age, spirometry, and diffusing capacity)
C
Comparator
Physiological and Operative Severity Score for Enumeration of Mortality and Morbidity (POSSUM) and Cardiopulmonary Risk Index (CPRI) systems
O
Outcome
Complications after major lung resection (categorized as pulmonary, cardiovascular, infectious, other, nonfatal, any, and death)safety

The EVAD scoring system, utilizing pulmonary function test data and patient age, is a simple and accurate tool for predicting complications after major lung resection.

Cite This Study

Mark K. Ferguson (2002) conducted a cohort in Lung cancer undergoing major resection (n=400). EVAD scoring system vs. POSSUM and CPRI scoring systems was evaluated on Complications after major lung resection. The EVAD scoring system was equivalent to or better than the CPRI and POSSUM systems for predicting all categories of complications after major lung resection.
