Integrating intraoperative physiology data into outcome analysis for the ACS Pediatric National Surgical Quality Improvement Program

ConclusionAdding intraoperative vital signs to P ‐NSQIP data allowed identification of two modifiable risk factors: hypothermia was associated with increased wound disruption, and hypotension with increased blood transfusions and unplanned returns to the operating room. These findings may motivate prospective studies and prompt other centers a nd P‐NSQIP to augment outcome data with intraoperative physiological data.
