Utility of the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program surgical risk calculator in predicting mortality in an Australian acute surgical unit

The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS‐NSQIP) surgical risk calculator provides an estimate preoperatively of operative risks including mortality; however, its utility is not known in Australian emergency general surgical patients. This study sought to determine accuracy of the calculator in predicting outcome of high‐risk patients in an Australian acute surgical unit to establish if this calculator could be a useful tool to identify high‐risk patients in an Australian setting.
