Respiratory Adverse Event Risk Post Vascular Surgery

The Postoperative Respiratory Adverse Event Risk Calculator was created utilizing a cohort of 52,000 vascular surgery patients to estimate the incidence of post-operative respiratory adverse events (pneumonia or respiratory failure). This score was internally validated and externally validated with the National Inpatient Sample and National Surgical Quality Initiative Program.

Calculator estimates are provided for informational purposes only and are not meant to replace the advice of a physician or healthcare provider regarding diagnosis, treatment, or potential outcomes.
