The increased rates of postoperative mortality after emergency surgery for obstructive colon cancer (OCC) require the use of risk-stratification scores. The study purpose is to external validate the surgical risk calculator (SRC) and the AFC/OCC score and to create a score for risk stratification.
Overall, 435 patients with emergency surgery for OCC were included in this retrospective study. We used statistical methods suitable for the aimed purpose.
Postoperative mortality was 11.72%. SRC performance: strong discrimination (AUC = 0.864) and excellent calibration (11.80% predicted versus 11.72% observed); AFC/OCC score performance: adequate discrimination (AUC = 0.787) and underestimated mortality (6.93% predicted versus 11.72% observed). We identified nine predictors of postoperative mortality: age > 70 years, CHF, ECOG > 2, sepsis, obesity or cachexia, creatinine (aN) or platelets (aN), and proximal tumors (AUC = 0.947). Based on the score, we obtained four risk groups of mortality rate: low risk (0.7%)-0-2 factors, medium risk (12.5%)-3 factors, high risk (40.0%)-4 factors, very high risk (84.4%)-5-6 factors.
The two scores were externally validated. The easy identification of predictors and its performance recommend the mortality score of the Clinic County Emergency Hospital of Galați/OCC for clinical use.
梗阻性结肠癌(OCC)急诊手术后的死亡率增加,需要使用风险分层评分。本研究旨在对手术风险计算器(SRC)和 AFC/OCC 评分进行外部验证,并创建一个风险分层评分。
回顾性分析了 435 例 OCC 急诊手术患者。我们使用了适合目的的统计方法。
术后死亡率为 11.72%。SRC 表现:强判别力(AUC=0.864)和极好的校准度(11.80%预测值与 11.72%观察值);AFC/OCC 评分表现:适度判别力(AUC=0.787)和低估死亡率(6.93%预测值与 11.72%观察值)。我们确定了九个术后死亡率的预测因素:年龄>70 岁、充血性心力衰竭、ECOG>2、败血症、肥胖或恶病质、肌酐(aN)或血小板(aN)和近端肿瘤(AUC=0.947)。基于该评分,我们得到了四个死亡率风险组:低风险(0.7%)-0-2 个因素,中风险(12.5%)-3 个因素,高风险(40.0%)-4 个因素,极高风险(84.4%)-5-6 个因素。
这两个评分均得到了外部验证。易于识别预测因素及其表现推荐使用 Galați/OCC 县急诊医院的死亡率评分用于临床应用。
