Description

The Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain and Ireland (ACPGI) developed a risk score for predicting mortality in patients undergoing resection of a colorectal cancer.


Outcome: 30 day mortality following primary resection of colorectal cancer

 

Parameters:

(1) age

(2) ASA classification AND extent of colon resection

(3) Duke cancer stage

(4) urgency of the operation
