Abstract:

Objectives To evaluate the complications predicting efficacy of the American College of Surgeons (ACS) National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) surgical risk calculator for cervical cancer patients undergoing open radical hysterectomy in China. Methods This study enrolled the cervical cancer patients (139 cases) undertaken open radical hysterectomy at Women's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January to December in 2021. Preoperative risk factors were abstracted from medical records and the surgical risk scores were calculated using ACS NSQIP surgical risk calculator. The association between risk scores and actual outcomes were assessed using logistic regression together with the c-statistic (area under ROC) and Brier score. 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 difference in the predicted and actual length of stay (3.93 ± 0.42 days vs. 13.11 ± 4.71 days, P < 0.001). Conclusions The ACS NSQIP surgical risk calculator failed to predict the postoperative complications and the length of hospital stay for cervical cancer patients undergoing open radical hysterectomy.
