GBDKVA score: a scoring system for preoperative risk assessment of adrenal tumors ≤6cm.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To propose a comprehensive scoring system for adrenal tumors ≤ 6cm and evaluate its rationality and validity.

Materials and methods

This study retrospectively analyzed 268 patients with primary adrenal tumors who underwent laparoscopic surgery from January 2018 to December 2022 and all of them met the inclusion criteria. Evaluation scores were calculated for gender (G), body mass index (BMI) (B), tumor diameter (D), the relative position of the tumor to the kidney (K), the relative position of the tumor and the blood vessels (V) and the tumor location in the adrenal gland (A). Then, the total scores were correlated with the operation results, so as to verify the feasibility of GBDKVA in evaluating the surgical risk.

Results

The GBDKVA score showed a consist
