(Physiologic and Operative Severity Score for the enUmeration of Mortality and Morbidity)
POSSUM: based on G.P.Copeland, D.Jones & M.Walters Br J Surg (1991) 78:356-360
P-POSSUM: based on M.S.Whiteley et al Br J Surg (1996) 83:812-815
This calculator allows an easy calculation of scores to evaluate mortality and morbidity after surgical procedures. Its only purpose is the calculation of the scores, irrespectively of any judgement on their relevance or usefulness.
The calculation of a risk assigned to a measured score is an epidemiologic tool, and never should be used as a single patient prevision tool. Moreover, it should be underlined that in different patient populations and health system realities, these scores could not work.
