Singh et al reported Surgical Risk Preoperative Assessment System (SURPAS) for predicting discharge destination following surgery. The authors are from the University of Colorado in Denver.
Patient selection: surgical patient
Parameters:
(1) CPT event rate
(2) age in years
(3) inpatient vs outpatient surgery
(4) ASA status
(5) primary surgeon specialty vs general surgery
(6) functional health status before operation
(7) emergency operation
(8) work relative value unit (RVU; number usually between 5 and 30)
