Results The ACSNSQIP calculator did not predict accurately for serious complications, any complications, venous thromboembolism (VTE), readmission, return operation room and surgical site infection (SSI) compared with actual outcomes. There was significantly differenc...
The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program surgical risk calculator (ACS-NSQIP SRC) has been designed to predict morbidity and mortality and help stratify surgical patients. This study evaluates the performance of the SRC for patients undergoing surgery for colorectal ...
To encourage implementation of the American College of Surgeons (ACS) NSQIP Risk Calculator for total gastrectomy for gastric cancer, its predictive performance for this specific procedure should be validated. We assessed its discriminatory accuracy and goodness of fit for predicting 12 adverse outcomes....
In 2013, the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) developed the first universal risk calculator in the United States [32] for improving the quality of surgical procedures and predicting surgical risk. NSQIP collected high-quality, standardized data from...

Various surgical risk assessment tools, including the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program® (ACS NSQIP®) risk calculator, have been devised to predict postoperative mortality. However, the role of individual factors on mortality is unclear. We sought to identify...
Some pediatric surgeons perform so few rare and complex procedures once they finish their surgical training that they may have a hard time maintaining operative skills in the long run, according to a new study led by researchers at Ann & Robert H. Lurie
ACS NSQIP uses risk-adjusted data gathered from medical charts by clinically trained personnel and includes an assessment of the patient's condition 30 days after asurgical procedure. Hospitals participating in ACS NSQIP use this nationally validated, outcomes-based approach to measure and improve the...
