ASA physical status class
III — severe systemic disease
Preoperative sepsis status

What you enter

  • ASA physical status class
  • Preoperative sepsis status
  • Functional status
  • Emergency case
  • Procedure type
How this is calculated
Model
risk = 1 / (1 + e^-x); x = -1.7397 + ASA class + sepsis + functional status + emergency + procedure type. Predicts ventilation > 48 h or unplanned reintubation.
