Development of an American College of Surgeons National Surgery Quality Improvement Program: Morbidity and Mortality Risk Calculator for Colorectal Surgery
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Surgical decision-making and informed patient consent both benefit from having accurate information about risk. But currently available risk estimating systems have one or more limitations associated with lack of specificity to operation type, size of sample (reliability), range of outcomes predicted, and appreciation of hospital effects. STUDY DESIGN: Data from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS NSQIP) patients who underwent colorectal surgery in 2006 to 2007 were used to generate logistic prediction models for 30-day morbidity, serious morbidity, and mortality. Results for these three models were then used to construct a universal multivariable model to predict risk for all three outcomes. Model performance was externally validated against 2005 data. RESULTS: For 2006 to 2007, 28,863 patients were identified who underwent major colorectal operations at 182 hospitals. A single 15-variable predictor model exhibited discrimination (c-statistic) close to that observed for the separate models on all three outcomes. Similar discrimination was found when the 2006 to 2007 universal model was applied to 3,037 operations conducted in 2005 at 37 hospitals. CONCLUSIONS: The ACS NSQIP colorectal risk calculator allows surgeons to preoperatively provide patients with detailed information about their personal risks of overall morbidity, serious morbidity, and mortality. Because ACS NSQIP can also categorize hospitals as performing better or worse than expected (or as expected), surgeons have the opportunity to adjust risk probabilities for patients at their institutions accordingly.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
