- The Effect of American Society of Anesthesiologists Score and . . .
A reported ASA score of three or higher has been linked to a significant rise in the occurrence of surgical site infections compared to those with a score below three Individuals with elevated ASA scores may have compromised immune systems as a result of underlying health conditions
- ASA class is a reliable independent predictor of medical . . .
ASA PS was found to be independently predictive of post-operative complications and mortality Z-scoring by procedure type and stratification into the most common procedures yielded similar results
- Factors Associated With the Rate of Sepsis After Surgery
Linear regression for physician staffing revealed that higher rates of catheter-associated urinary tract infection (P < 001) and wound dehiscence after surgery (P < 001), greater hospitalist hours (P = 001), and greater physician hours (P = 05) were associated with a significantly higher sepsis rate, while greater intensivist hours were
- What Is an ASA Score in Surgery? - eMedicineHealth
The ASA (American Society of Anesthesiology) score is a metric to determine if someone is healthy enough to tolerate surgery and anesthesia
- Clinical- and surgery-specific risk factors for post . . . - PubMed
The patient-related risk factors associated with post-operative sepsis included male gender (odds ratio, OR 1 41), pre-existing heart failure (OR 2 53), diabetes (OR 1 41), and chronic kidney disease (OR 1 26)
- Review of the ASA Physical Status Classification: Comment
The total number of expected infections is equal to the sum of the probabilities for all patients over a given period 2 The ASA Physical Status score is the only variable that is subjective and therefore prone to misclassification
- Sepsis and postoperative surgical site infections
Despite sustained efforts to reduce their impact, surgical site infections (SSIs) remain a signi cant cause of postoperative fi morbidity and mortality SSIs are the most common reason for unplanned readmission after surgery, increasing the risk of read-mission 5-fold
