ACS-NSQIP Calculator for Liver Surgery

Humanitas Clinical and Research Center450 enrolled

Overview

The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program's (ACS-NSQIP) calculator has been endorsed by the surgeons' community to counsel patients and relatives regarding estimated postoperative complications. However, it does not include organ-specific risks. The aim of this study was to assess the ACS-NSQIP calculator's ability to predict complications, mortality and length of stay (LOS) in patients undergoing hepatectomy for liver tumors

This is an observational retrospective study conducted in a tertiary-referral university hospital. An established classification of complications, including post-hepatectomy insufficiency and bile leak, was adopted. The endpoint was the rate of complications, mortality and LOS as expected by the ACS-NSQIP calculator and as observed within 90-day after surgery.
