“…In addition to this work, our group has also sought to understand the potential value of combining quantified surgeon intuition with an existing clinical data-based risk calculator. In our recent study evaluating preoperative surgeon intuition, 10 we asked general surgeons to rate their patient’s risk of any complication (defined by the ACS-NSQIP relative to the average patient undergoing the same procedure. We found that while preoperative intuition is an independent predictor of postoperative complication with an AUROC of 0.70, the logistic regression model trained on clinical predictors outperformed surgeon intuition with an AUROC of 0.83 and was not improved by its addition.…”
