Comparison of P-POSSUM risk-adjusted mortality rates after surgery between patients in the USA and the UK
Comparison of P-POSSUM risk-adjusted mortality rates after surgery between patients in the USA and the UK
An increase in predicted risk, based on the P-POSSUM methodology, was associated with a higher mortality rate in patients from both countries. However, risk-adjusted mortality rates following major surgery were four times higher in the UK cohort. These marked differences warrant validation in a larger number of centres.

Abstract
An increase in predicted risk, based on the P-POSSUM methodology, was associated with a higher mortality rate in patients from both countries. However, risk-adjusted mortality rates following major surgery were four times higher in the UK cohort. These marked differences warrant validation in a larger number of centres.
