Surgical Apgar Score, Predictor of Post-Emergency Abdominal Surgery Outcome

Post-Emergency Abdominal Surgery
The surgical team always tries to provide consistently low incidence of major complications for patient undergoing any operation.

Recognizing patients at high risk of developing a complication will contribute substantially to quality of operation and of cost reduction in surgery. In operating room, surgical apgar score (SAS) has helped surgeons for objective assessment of the operative course for postoperative prognostication instead of their "gut- feeling".

Here we prospectively evaluated postoperative complications according to SAS. This was a hospital based, single centre longitudinal prospective observational study from October 2014 to March 2015 including 66 patients.
