Does the ASA Physical Status classification predict the frequency and severity of adverse perioperative events?
The ASA Physical Status classification effectively predicts both the frequency and severity of adverse perioperative events, aligning with the Normal Accident Theory.
Saubermann et al. (2012) conducted an observational in Adverse perioperative events. American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification was evaluated on Frequency and severity of adverse perioperative events. The American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification predicts both the frequency and severity of adverse perioperative events in a nonlinear relationship.
