The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the addition of immunological variables to the Physiological and Operative Severity Score for the enUmeration of Mortality and Morbidity (POSSUM) scoring system improves the predictability of postoperative mortality. One hundred and thirty-two consecutive patients who underwent moderate, major or major-plus elective surgical interventions for gastrointestinal tumors were scored using the POSSUM mortality risk analysis. Patients were placed in one of the two groups based on their POSSUM mortality rates which were either lower or higher than 5%. An additional 26 pre-operative and post-operative metabolic and immunological variables were measured and mortality-dependent variables were selected. Reg...
