Résumé

Depending on the extent of liver resection and the underlying liver disease, liver surgery is associated with a significant risk for postoperative complications. Therefore, adequate patient selection is crucial. The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of the American College of Surgeons risk calculator (ACS-RC) taking into account liver parenchyma quality and type of liver resection. From 01/2019 to 03/2023 patients undergoing open or minimally invasive liver resection for benign or malignant indications at the University Hospital Basel were included. Brier score and feature importance analysis (FIA) were performed to investigate the accuracy of the ACS-RC. 376 patients were included, 214 (57%) underwent partial hepatectomy, 89 (24%) hemi-hepatectomy and 73 (19%) trisegmentectomy. Most patients had underlying liver diseases, 143 (38%) patients with fibrosis, 75 (20%) with steatosis and 61 (16%) with cirrhosis. The ACS-RC adequately predicted surgical site infection (Brier score 0.035), urinary tract infection (Brier score 0.038) and death (Brier score 0.046), moderate accuracy was achieved for serious complications (Brier score 0.216) and overall complications (Brier score 0.180). Compared to the overall cohort, the prediction was limited in patients with cirrhosis, fibrosis and steatosis as well as for patients undergoing hemi-hepatectomies and trisegmentectomies. Including liver parenchyma quality led to improved prediction accuracy. The ACS-RC is a reliable tool to estimate 30-day postoperative morbidity, especially for patients with healthy liver parenchyma undergoing partial liver resections. However, accurate perioperative risk prediction should adjust for underlying liver disease and extended liver resections.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Depending on the extent of liver resection and the underlying liver disease, liver surgery is associated with a significant risk for postoperative complications. Therefore, adequate patient selection is crucial. The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of the American College of Surgeons risk calculator (ACS-RC) taking into account liver parenchyma quality and type of liver resection.
STUDY DESIGN METHODS
From 01/2019 to 03/2023 patients undergoing open or minimally invasive liver resection for benign or malignant indications at the University Hospital Basel were included. Brier score and feature importance analysis (FIA) were performed to investigate the accuracy of the ACS-RC.
RESULTS RESULTS
376 patients were included, 214 (57%) underwent partial hepatectomy, 89 (24%) hemi-hepatectomy and 73 (19%) trisegmentectomy. Most patients had underlying liver diseases, 143 (38%) patients with fibrosis, 75 (20%) with steatosis and 61 (16%) with cirrhosis. The ACS-RC adequately predicted surgical site infection (Brier score 0.035), urinary tract infection (Brier score 0.038) and death (Brier score 0.046), moderate accuracy was achieved for serious complications (Brier score 0.216) and overall complications (Brier score 0.180). Compared to the overall cohort, the prediction was limited in patients with cirrhosis, fibrosis and steatosis as well as for patients undergoing hemi-hepatectomies and trisegmentectomies. Including liver parenchyma quality led to improved prediction accuracy.
CONCLUSION CONCLUSIONS
The ACS-RC is a reliable tool to estimate 30-day postoperative morbidity, especially for patients with healthy liver parenchyma undergoing partial liver resections. However, accurate perioperative risk prediction should adjust for underlying liver disease and extended liver resections.
