“…Based on previous studies [10][11][12][13] we dichotomized the level of social support to a score of ≤75 = poor social support, and a social support score of N75 = good social support. The same cutoff point was used to dichotomize tangible social support score and emotional/informational support score.…”

“…The SAS is a simple formula that uses intraoperative hemodynamics and blood loss to predict postoperative complications and mortality rates 6 . The SAS was found to be positively correlated with postoperative complications and/or mortality in patients undergoing a wide variety of procedures [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] . Due to its ability to predict postoperative complications and mortality, the SAS might also be useful for the prediction of postoperative ICU admission.…”

“…In some other studies, a frailty instrument has been combined with another measurement. For instance, Kenig and colleagues examined frailty (defined by deficits in two or more domains of the comprehensive geriatric assessment) and the Surgical Apgar Score (25). Compared to the individual instruments, the combination did not increase the PPV for 30-day morbidity and only slightly increased the NPV for 30-day mortality among older patients undergoing abdominal cancer surgery.…”
