ARISCAT and LAS VEGUS Risk Scores for Predicting Postoperative Pulmonary Complications After Cardiac Surgery

February 12, 2024 updated by: Khalid Siddiqui, Aga Khan University
The goal of this observational study is to compare the, ARISCAT and LAS VEGUS scales, for predicting postoperative pulmonary complications in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. The study aims to compare the diagnostic accuracies of the two risk prediction scores in predicting postoperative pulmonary complications.
