Annual number of surgeries exceeds 10 million In Russia, and this number is increasing every year. Searching for a scale or index determining the risk of postoperative complications and mortality is an important issue all over the world. The authors analyzed all available risk assessment scales for postoperative morbidity and mortality. The most significant ones in historical aspect and modern perspective grading systems were highlighted. We compared these indices with clinical recommendations and necessary preoperative preparation. Thus, these scales are valuable for surgeons and anesthesiologists to assess the risk, volume of surgical intervention and methods of preoperative management. However, they are not perfect and require improvement. Therefore, development of such scales is a priority objective of medicine in the foreseeable future.
