Jun 11, 2020 · The use of POSSUM has been adapted to orthopedic patients as the O-POSSUM; however, the use of the POSSUM in lieu of the O-POSSUM has minimal effect on the final scoring as the adaptation is limited to minor restructuring of the operative score for greater surgical relevance. Second, POSSUM and P-POSSUM scoring estimate 30-day mortality, whereas our study included all mortalities within a 2-year period regardless of time from presentation.
We used the Physiological and Operative Severity Score for the enUmeration of Mortality and morbidity (POSSUM) and Portsmouth-POSSUM (P-POSSUM) risk assessment methods to calculate the rates of postoperative complications and mortality, and postoperative mortality rate, respectively. 2,3 The POSSUM scoring system was established by Copeland et al in 1991, 4 who used the preoperative physiological scores and intraoperative surgical scores of patients to predict the rates postoperative ...
Background and methods: The development of the Physiological and Operative Severity Score for the enUmeration of Mortality and morbidity (POSSUM) is described and its methods of analysis and value in a modern surgical practice are reviewed. A computerized search of all published data in Medline, the Cochrane Library and Embase was made for the ...
Dec 28, 2023 · Background: The Physiological and Operative Severity Score for the enUmeration of Mortality and Morbidity (POSSUM) weights the patient’s individual health status and the extent of the surgical procedure to estimate the probability of postoperative complications and death of general surgery patients. The variations Portsmouth-POSSUM (P-POSSUM) and colorectal POSSUM (CR-POSSUM) were developed for estimating mortality in patients with low perioperative risk and for patients with colorectal ...
Apr 1, 2015 · Sunil Kumar et al., validated POSSUM score in enteric perforation peritonitis and concluded that POSSUM is a good predictor of morbidity (O: E = 0.85) and over predicts mortality (O: E = 0.47). Out of 41 patients who survived, 25 patients suffered complications and the remaining 16 patients did not show any evidence of complications.
May 7, 2020 · In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the relative importance of the P-POSSUM score for predicting 90-day mortality in the elderly subjected to emergency laparotomy from statistical aspects. One hundred and fifty-seven geriatric patients aged ≥65 years undergoing emergency laparotomy between January 1st, 2015 and December 31st, 2016 were included in the study.
May 7, 2022 · Background Since Mohamed et al. analyzed 2326 orthopedic cases in 2002 and believed that the POSSUM formula can be directly used to predict postoperative morbidity and mortality in orthopedic patients, applications of POSSUM and P-POSSUM scores in the hip fracture surgery have been mostly reported in the field of orthopedics, but there are still some inconsistencies in the related reports. Methods The electronic library was searched for all literature that met the purpose from its inception ...
