The clinic significance of physiologic and operative scoring in predicting the postoperative morbidity in urologic aged patients / 中华泌尿外科杂志

Objective To evaluate the modified POSSUM surgical scoring system in urologic surgery patients over 70. Methods 180 patients over 70 were retrospectively analyzed with the mo dified POSSUM surgical scoring system.A comparison between the observed and the predicted morbidity was made. Results In the complication group and noncomplication group,the mean age of the patients were 74.9?4.1 and 74.7?3.6,the mean length of stay were (42.1?4.2)d and (28.7? 14.2 )d,respectively.In the complication group,both the physiological scores and the operative severity scores of POSSUM scoring system were significantly higher than the no complication group ( 22.0 ? 4.1 vs 20.1?3.9 in pysiological score and 11.7?4.3 vs 10.3?3.5 in operative severity score, P
