Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of the Surgical Apgar Score (SAS) in predicting post-operative risks in general surgeries, aiming to simplify the assessment of surgical risk.
- Over 220 adult patients undergoing emergency and elective surgeries were monitored, revealing that SAS scores correlated with complication and mortality rates: high risk (50% complications, 8.3% mortality), moderate risk (23% complications, 3.7% mortality), and low risk (4.2% complications, 0% mortality).
- The findings suggest that SAS is an easy-to-use and reliable tool for predicting post-operative outcomes, demonstrating its versatility across different surgical scenarios.
