    The principal investigators of the study request that you use the official version of the modified score here.

    Preoperative Mortality Predictor (PMP) Score

    Predicts risk of perioperative mortality in general surgery patients.
    When to Use
    Pearls/Pitfalls
    Why Use

    Use in patients ≥18 years old undergoing general surgery (elective or emergent).

    • Study looked at ACS NSQIP data for 7 operations: open pancreas, open/laparoscopic colorectal, hernia (ventral, umbilical, or inguinal), and gallbladder surgeries.
    • Similar to POSSUM and APACHE II scoring systems, though with fewer variables. We are not aware of any head-to-head studies comparing this score to the others.

    • Uses easily obtainable information preoperatively.

    • Derived to aid in preoperative counseling and discussions of informed consent.
