Observational (n=400)
Does the ACS NSQIP risk calculator accurately predict postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy?
The ACS NSQIP risk calculator is generally accurate for predicting outcomes after pancreaticoduodenectomy but shows variation by specific ICD-9 diagnosis, suggesting diagnosis should be incorporated for better preoperative risk assessment.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May aid preoperative counseling after pancreaticoduodenectomy; leaves open whether diagnosis-specific refinements improve accuracy in prospective cohorts.
Mogal et al. (2016) conducted an observational in Pancreaticoduodenectomy (n=400). ACS NSQIP risk calculator vs. Null model was evaluated on Predictive accuracy for postoperative outcomes (Brier Score). The ACS NSQIP risk calculator predicted postoperative outcomes after pancreaticoduodenectomy with Brier scores of 0.23 and 0.22 for any and major complications, showing variation by ICD-9 diagnosis.
