Preoperative_Mortality_Predictor_PMP_Score_guideline v.1
Predicts risk of perioperative mortality in general surgery patients.
- Uses easily obtainable information preoperatively. - Derived to aid in preoperative counseling and discussions of informed consent.
Use in patients ≥18 years old undergoing general surgery (elective or emergent).
- Study looked at ACS NSQIP data for 7 operations: open pancreas, open/laparoscopic colorectal, hernia (ventral, umbilical, or inguinal), and gallbladder surgeries. - Similar to POSSUM and APACHE II scoring systems, though with fewer variables. We are not aware of any head-to-head studies comparing this score to the others.
