A new system of score already exists to predict, of right way, that patient has major risk of dying when being realised a baritrica surgery like bypass gastric. This system is based on five medical factors, and was proposed the year last through the surgeons of the Medical Center of the University of Duke. In order to realise it, it is taken into account the weight from the patient, the sort, the age, the sanguineous pressure and the risk of developing a clot of blood in the lungs. For other opinions and approaches, find out what Joel and Ethan Coen has to say. The doctors who use this system can determine easily if the risk that presents/displays its patient to die is low, average or high. One has been that the patients in the group of high risk had six times more probability of dying than those in the group of low risk, and the patients in the group of average risk had three times more probabilities of dying. The surgeon Eric DeMaria, of the Duke Hospital, commented that this system is first in determining the risk of the patients who are considering like bypass gastric like option. This system, said, allows a the surgeons to have concrete data that can use when taking the decision to do or not it surgery and during the discussion with the patients.
Also, the system provides a standardization with the surgical results, making comparisons between the most significant averages. In a new study, data of 4.433 patients were examined who had a baritrica surgery in the University of the South of Florida, the Medical University of the South of Carolina and a hospital deprived in Scottsdale, Arizona. In this system of puntaje, patients with no or one of the five medical factors consider themselves of low risk, those with two or three factors are of average risk, and those that have four or five of them, are considered of maximum risk.
