The development and validation of a predictive score for morbi-mortality is carried out by means of a well-defined process encompassing internal and external validation according to temporality, geographical location or domain (patient population and/or type of surgery), and the clinical impact of application of the score. Bibliographic analysis has shown that very few existing studies possess the required methodological qualities. Detailed individual analysis of the different scores, not including nutritional scores, showed that the ASA-PS score is easy to use but yields only moderate performance, that the SORT score (six variables) is more powerfully discriminatory than the POSSUM score, that the POSPOM score has not been validated in visceral surgery, that the ACS-NSQIP score cannot be utilized in Europe and, finally, that the Charlson index is not sufficiently discriminatory in the short term. If specific types of surgery are taken into consideration, none of these scores have received formal external validation. In conclusion, the SORT score has been the most validated, and the ASA-PS score is widely used in current practice. The role of artificial intelligence in the form of machine learning remains to be defined.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49271,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Visceral Surgery","volume":"163 2","pages":"Pages 117-125"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145726908","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
