Comparison of postoperative complication risk prediction approaches based on factors known preoperatively to surgeons versus patients.
The objective of this paper was to compare three estimation models: (1) the All Information Model; (2) the Surgeon Assessment Model; and (3) the Patient-Entered Model. The investigators observed a small decline in model performance that they suggest may not be clinically meaningful. They concluded that the Surgeon Assessment and Patient-Entered models with fewer predictors can be used with relative confidence to predict a patient's risk.
