Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Composite Adverse Outcome
Time Frame: 30 days from time of surgery

Proportion of participants who experience ≥1 of the following within 30 days after index surgery:

  1. Postoperative admission to the intensive care unit
  2. Reoperation (within 30 days)
  3. Prolonged length of stay, defined as length of stay falling within the highest (75th-100th) percentile for the patient's surgical category
  4. Acute kidney injury according to Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcome (KDIGO) criteria (≥1.5-fold increase from baseline within 7 days after surgery or 0.3 mg dl-1 increase within 48 h)
30 days from time of surgery
Postoperative ICU Admission
Time Frame: 30 days from date of surgery
Any ICU admission occurring after index surgery and within 30 days.
30 days from date of surgery
Reoperation
Time Frame: 30 days from date of surgery
Any return to the operating room within 30 days of index surgery.
30 days from date of surgery
Prolonged Length of Stay (LOS)
Time Frame: Through hospital discharge (max. 6 months from surgery date)
Proportion of participants whose index-hospitalization LOS (days from surgery to discharge) falls in the 75th-100th percentile for their surgical category, determined from the study cohort distribution and assessed at discharge.
Through hospital discharge (max. 6 months from surgery date)
Acute Kidney Injury
Time Frame: 30 days from date of surgery
AKI defined by KDIGO criteria (≥1.5× baseline serum creatinine within 7 days or ≥0.3 mg/dL increase within 48 h) occurring within 30 days of surgery.
30 days from date of surgery
