Prediction of Morbidity and Mortality With Medical Pre-Operative Fitness Assessment

Perioperative Medical Fitness Assessment

Fitness Assessment

Aim to measure the predictability of medical pre -Operative Fitness Assessment to the actual rates of morbidity and mortality related to surgery in Assiut university Hospital.

Perioperative morbidity and mortality remain the mostly important barrier to surgical interventions worldwide. Therefor, decision making relies upon accurate risk Assessment to be balanced with hoped benefit. For elective surgeries, multiple clinical tools have been used to Assessment perioperative Fitness, but with limited applicability. For instance, the american society of anesthesiologists phesical status score (ASA-PS) does not consider the type of surgery, nor the patient's age. The physiological and Operative severity score for the enumeration of mortality (POSSUM) evaluates the intra-operative difficulties, limiting the preoperative prediction. Recently, researchers layer and his colleagues at University Hospital Bonn, modified the preoperative score to Predict Postoperative Mortality (POSPOM) to be applied in daily practice. In investigator 's practice, Assiut university Hospitals already have a Pre-Operative Fitness Assessment (POFA) clinical and investigator aim to adapt and evaluate the POSPOM system in investigator' s practice.
