Description

Gupta et al reported a cardiac risk calculator for patients undergoing surgery. This is based on the 2007 NSQIP database. The authors are from Creighton University, University of Pittsburgh and the University of Nebraska.


Patient selection: surgery

 

Outcome: perioperative myocardial infarction or cardiac arrest

 

Parameters:

(1) functional status

(2) ASA class

(3) serum creatinine

(4) age in years

(5) type of surgery

Performance:

• The area under the ROC curve is 0.884.
