Evaluation of the treatment outcomes of patients at high risk of mortality compared to low risk of mortality according to the SORT at Hanoi Medical University Hospital
Main Article Content
Abstract
We performed this study to evaluate the treatment outcomes of patients suffering from major surgery at high risk of mortality according to the SORT (Surgical Outcome Risk Tool). The study menthod was prospective, descriptive study performed in 243 post-surgical patients at the Department of Anesthesia, Resuscitation and Pain Management, Hanoi Medical University Hospital from March 2023 to August 2023, for the purposes of evaluating the mortality rate, the incidence of postoperative complications, the rate of patients in intensive care unit after surgery, the length of hospital stay, the length of stay in intensive care unit of patients at high risk of mortality according to the SORT. The study results showed that patients at high risk of mortality according to the SORT (SORT ≥ 4%) had a 25% mortality rate, higher than the overall patient population; the incidence of postoperative complications such as pneumonia (47.7%), respiratory failure (52.3%), ARDS (20.5%), and postoperative bleeding (52.3%) were correspondingly higher than in the overall study population; the average ICU stay for high risk patients was 6.5 days, longer than the overall patient population.
