The Urgent Surgery Elderly Mortality risk score: a simple mortality score

Can the Obesity Surgery Mortality Risk Score predict postoperative complications other than mortality?

INTRODUCTION Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) are bariatric procedures with acceptable risk of postoperative morbidities and mortalities, but identification of high-risk patients is an ongoing issue. DeMaria et al. introduced the Obesity Surgery Mortality Risk Score (OS-MRS), which was designed for mortality risk assessment but not perioper...

Obesity Surgery Mortality Risk Score: Can we Go Beyond Mortality Prediction?

Introduction: High morbidity and low mortality has been linked to bariatric surgery. The Obesity surgery mortality risk score (OS-MRS) is a validated scale for mortality risk assessment. The aim of this study was to evaluate if OSMRS scale can also be used as a predictor of postoperative complications in obese patients submitted to primary laparoscopic gastric bypass. Methods: Retrospective stu...

Obesity surgery mortality risk score for the prediction of complications after laparoscopic bariatric surgery.

INTRODUCTION Morbimortality after bariatric surgery varies according to patient characteristics and associated comorbidities. The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of the Obesity sugery mortality risk score scale (OS-MRS) to predict the risk of postoperative complications after bariatric surgery. METHODS A retrospective study was performed of a prospective series of patients un...
