The study compared the ASA, APACHE II, and POSSUM scoring systems as predictors of mortality in gastrointestinal oncologic surgery patients. APACHE II showed the best performance in accurately assessing mortality rates, followed by POSSUM, while the ASA scoring system was statistically insignificant in terms of discriminative power.
Scoring systems have been developed to predict the expected mortality and morbidity in surgical procedures. In this study, our aim was to compare the ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists), APACHE (Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation) II, POSSUM (Physiological and Operative Severity Score for the enUmeration of Mortality and morbidity) scoring systems as predictors of mortality in patients who underwent gastrointestinal oncologic surgery, followed, and were admitted to the intensive care unit during the postoperative period. We examined the files of 82 patients who underwent oncologic gastrointestinal surgery and followed up in the intensive care units (ICUs). The patients' APACHE II scores and predicted mortality rates (PMR) according to the APACHE II, POSSUM, and ASA scores were calculated. The receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used when evaluating the performances of the ASA, APACHE, and POSSUM scoring systems in terms of accurate assessment of mortality. Accordingly, the area under the curve (AUC) = 0.5 no distinction, 0.5<0.7 discriminative power of the test is statistically not significant, 0.7<0.8 acceptable, 0.8<0.9 very good and 0.9<1 perfect. The evaluations showed that APACHE II had the best performance with 0.81, followed by POSSUM, which had an acceptable level at 0.78. On the other hand, the ASA score was 0.63 and its discriminative power was identified as statistically insignificant. Our results show that the POSSUM and APACHE II scoring systems were better at predicting mortality than the ASA scoring system for the prediction of mortality in the postoperative period. Both the POSSUM and APACHE II scoring systems can be confidently used for the prediction of mortality in patients undergoing operations due to oncologic gastrointestinal diseases.
