Brief Summary

There is an increasing need and interest in being able to empirically estimate customized, patient-specific risks for virtually all surgical operations in a user-friendly format. The ACS (American College of Surgeons) surgical risk calculator is a decision-support tool based on reliable multi institutional clinical data, which can be used to estimate the risks of most operations.1 The aim of this study is to compare the assessment provided by the The ACS Surgical Risk Calculator with the assessment provided by a senior and a resident anesthesiologist, and by that comparison to establish the need for the ACS calculator

Conditions

Surgery

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Morbidity for each patient

  Anesthesiologists give their estimation of overall mortality that is compared to that given by the ACS web-based calculator

  Each patient is assessed within a week by both physicians and the ACS web-based computer. The trial is scheduled for a whole year.

• Morbidity for each patient

  Anesthesiologists give their estimation of different morbidities and that is compared to that given by the ACS web-based calculator

  Each patient is assessed within a week by both physicians and the ACS web-based computer. The trial is scheduled for a whole year.

Interventions

Patients who are scheduled for any surgical procedure OTHER

looking for correlation for estimating the complications between the anesthesiologists and the computerized method.
