Why the study?
The applicability of the ACS-NSQIP surgical risk calculator in predicting postoperative outcomes in the Indian population remains uncertain.
Observational
Applicability of ACS-NSQIP calculator to Indian patients remains uncertain; leaves open need for local validation.
Background: Preoperative patients’ characteristics and comorbidities may significantly influence postoperative outcomes, emphasising the need for accurate risk prediction. The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) surgical risk calculator, derived from more than a million patients, has shown robust predictability for mortality and improved surgical quality in the USA. Nevertheless, its applicability in the Indian population remains uncertain.
