MoreSORT is a preoperative risk prediction tool that calculates the percentage risk of mortality within 30 days of surgery. It helps identify high-risk patients, aids in preoperative assessments, and supports shared decision-making with patients.
Yes, SORT has offline capability, meaning the calculator works even without mobile or wireless reception. This is advantageous in various clinical settings.
SORT can be used for all surgical severity from minor to complex categories and for all surgical urgency from elective to immediate/emergency surgery. Exclusions include obstetrics, neurosurgery, cardiac, and transplant surgery.
SORT was developed and validated on a UK adult patient population aged 16 or over.
SORT was developed by researchers from The National Confidential Enquiry into Patient Outcome and Death (NCEPOD) and doctors from the UCL/UCLH Surgical Outcomes Research Centre (SOuRCe). The work was published in the British Journal of Surgery in 2014.
The tool was developed using a large dataset of 16,788 anonymised patient records from a UK NCEPOD study, representing one of the largest analyses of risk prediction tools in a UK cohort at the time of publication.
Based on the provided data, SORT is supported on iPhone and iPod devices. Information regarding Android compatibility is not available.
The latest version of SORT is 1.0.1, which was last updated on August 17, 2016. This indicates a less frequent update cycle.
