Advice
  • May inform adjustments in preoperative management, surgical approach, or postoperative care to mitigate identified risks.
  • Consider consultations with other specialties based on the risk assessment to optimize patient outcomes.
  • Risk scores only provide a starting point in estimating morbidity and mortality. Ensure that other clinical variables, which may not be included in this tool, are also considered in preoperative assessments and planning.
