Validation of Automated Data Extraction From the Electronic Medical Record to Provide a Pediatric Risk Assessment Score.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although the rate of pediatric postoperative mortality is low, the development and validation of perioperative risk assessment models have allowed for the stratification of those at highest risk, including the Pediatric Risk Assessment (PRAm) score. The clinical application of such tools requires manual data entry, which may be inaccurate or incomplete, compromise efficiency, and increase physicians' clerical obligations. We aimed to create an electronically derived, automated PRAm score and to evaluate its agreement with the original American College of Surgery National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS NSQIP)-derived and validated score.

Methods

We performed a retrospective observational study of children <18 years who underwent noncardiac surgery from 2
