[Predictors of in-hospital mortality in patients undergoing elective surgery in a university hospital: a prospective cohort].

CONCLUSION: The high mortality rate found may reflect the high complexity of the institution's patients. Knowing the profile of the patients assisted helps in the definition of management priorities, suggesting the need to create specific care lines for groups identified as high risk in order to reduce perioperative complications and deaths.
