Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how well existing tools predict postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) risk in liver cancer patients undergoing hepatectomy, addressing the need for effective prevention strategies.
- It involved assessing 214 patients using the Apfel and Koivuranta risk scores, revealing that neither score performed well in predicting PONV, with low ROC areas and poor calibration.
- The findings suggest that current PONV risk assessment tools are inadequate for liver cancer patients, highlighting the need for new or improved tools that consider disease-specific factors.
