A prognostic model for 1-month mortality in the postoperative intensive care unit.

Purposes: Recognizing which patients admitted postsurgically to the intensive care unit (ICU) are at greater risk of mortality assists medical staff to identify who will benefit most from the care. We developed a prediction model for the 1-month mortality of postsurgical ICU patients.

Methods: From May, 2019 to May, 2020, we conducted a prospective cohort study in the postsurgical ICU of a teaching hospital affiliated with our University of Medical Sciences.
