The Portsmouth Physiological and Operative Severity Score for the enUmeration of Mortality and morbidity (P-POSSUM) is the modified version of the original POSSUM Score that retains the same variables but uses a different mortality predictor equation.
The POSSUM score consists of two components, a physiological score (obtained from scoring 12 variables) and an operative score (obtained from scoring 6 variables). Individual variable scores range from 1 to 8. The physiological scores range from 12 to 88 whilst the operative scores range from 6 to 48.
Jan 28, 2003 · The result of the POSSUM data set is a physiology score of 12–88 and an operative score of 6–44. Although the higher the overall POSSUM score, the greater the risk of morbidity and mortality, individual scores do not directly reflect the percentage risk.
Jun 23, 2023 · Introduction: The POSSUM (Physiologic and Operative Severity Score for the Study of Mortality and Morbidity) and Portsmouth-POSSUM (P-POSSUM) models have been popularly recommended as appropriate for predicting postoperative mortality and morbidity in surgical practice.
Recently, Physiological and Operative Severity Score for the enumeration of Mortality and morbidity (POSSUM) and Portsmouth-POSSUM (P-POSSUM) scores were evaluated in Indian patients undergoing elective craniotomy and it was concluded that P-POSSUM was highly accurate in predicting overall mortality.
POSSUM, a Physiological and Operative Severity Score for the enUmeration of Mortality and morbidity, is described. This system has been devised from both a retrospective and prospective analysis and the present paper attempts to validate it prospectively.
Feb 11, 2013 · The Physiological and Operative Severity Score for the enUmeration of Mortality and morbidity (POSSUM) model and its Portsmouth modification (P-POSSUM) are used extensively to predict postoperative mortality and morbidity in general surgery.
Dec 28, 2023 · Results: The POSSUM equation significantly overpredicted postoperative morbidity, and all three scoring systems considerably overpredicted in-hospital mortality. However, the POSSUM score identified patients at risk of anastomotic leakage, sepsis, and the need for reoperation.
Dec 6, 2005 · POSSUM, a P hysiological and O perative S everity Score for the en U meration of M ortality and morbidity, is described. This system has been devised from both a retrospective and prospective analysis and the present paper attempts to validate it prospectively.
