  • CONCLUSIONS: People living with HIV incur a significantly higher risk of perioperative organ injury and worse surgical outcomes despite advances in antiretroviral therapy. HIV status was independently associated with adverse perioperative outcomes in adjusted models, supporting its inclusion as a risk stratification variable in surgical planning. Future research should incorporate immunologic markers, such as CD4 count and viral load, to further refine perioperative risk prediction and optimize outcomes for this population.
  • External Validation of the Risk Assessment of Morbidity in Pediatric Surgery Score. [Journal Article]

  • CONCLUSIONS: The RAMPS score performed well in this external validation with overall less patient complexity and less morbidity than in the original cohort included for development and internal validation. The score moderately overestimated risk in the most complex patients, which does not diminish its utility in guiding resource allocation to manage or prevent perioperative adverse events. In summary, the RAMPs score is a simple, highly discriminant, well-calibrated, and externally validated tool clinicians and health systems can use to predict morbidity among pediatric surgery patients.
