Key result
The cumulative incidence of postoperative mortality after inpatient surgery was 0.57% at 48 hours and 2.1% at 30 days, with risk factors including higher ASA scores, extremes of age, and emergencies.
Why the study?
What is the incidence of and what are the risk factors for 48-hour and 30-day postoperative mortality after inpatient surgery?

What is the incidence of and what are the risk factors for 48-hour and 30-day postoperative mortality after inpatient surgery?
Postoperative mortality after inpatient surgery is 0.57% at 48 hours and 2.1% at 30 days, with risk driven by patient complexity, emergencies, and perioperative adverse events.

These rates may inform perioperative risk stratification; leaves open whether targeted interventions reduce mortality in high-ASA or emergency cases.
Karamarie Fecho (2008) conducted a cohort in Inpatient surgery. Inpatient surgery and associated risk factors was evaluated on 48 hour and 30 day postoperative mortality. The cumulative incidence of postoperative mortality after inpatient surgery was 0.57% at 48 hours and 2.1% at 30 days, with risk factors including higher ASA scores, extremes of age, and emergencies.
