Methods: The latest AHRQ PSI software, which allows users to produce 14 of the 20 PSIs for adult inpatients both without and with a "present on admission" (PoA) variable, was applied to administrative data for adult patients discharged from the University of Michigan Health System (UMHS) in...
The goal of this study was to determine whether the preoperative Risk Quantification Index (RQI) and Present-On-Admission Risk (POARisk) models would be improved by including the intraoperative Surgical Apgar Score (SAS). The authors identified adult patients admitted after noncardiac surgery. The ...
