Predictive value of a novel digital risk calculator to determine early patient outcomes after major surgery: a proof-of-concept pilot study

CONCLUSION: The proof-of-concept trial showed that a risk assessment with 'The Prehab App' may be viable to estimate the preoperative risk for mortality and major complications before major surgeries. The overall performance in this initial set of data indicated a certain reliability of the scoring and risk grouping, especially of the RAI score and the TUG. A larger data set will be required to proof the generalizability of the risk scoring to every subgroup and may be fostered by artificial intelligence approaches.TRIAL REGISTRATION: Ethics number: 2021-483-MDR/MPDG-zuständig monocentric; The Federal Institute for Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices/BfArM, reference number: 94.1.04-5660-13655; Eudamed: CIV-21-07-0307311; German Clinical Trial Registry: DRKS 00026985.PMID:38610002 | PMC:PMC11010393 | DOI:10.1186/s13037-024-00395-y
