Effective prediction of postoperative complications for patients after open hepatectomy: a simplified scoring system based on perioperative parameters.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The aim of the study was to develop a scoring system for the prediction of postoperative complications of open hepatectomy.

Method

All consecutive patients receiving open hepatectomy from 2015 to 2017 were included in the study. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to confirm the risk factors for postoperative complications. Afterwards, a novel scoring system was developed to predict the postoperative complications.

Results

The study included a total of 207 patients. For the test dataset, multivariate analysis indicated that diabetes, scale of surgery, serum potassium, and blood loss versus body weight were independent risk factors of the postoperative complications. The area under the curve (AUC) of the novel scoring system we proposed for predic
