A prospective validation cohort study is proposed. The surgical risk of the patients recruited in the study was calculated by the ACS NSQIP risk calculator and by POSSUM. In order to compare the performance of ACS NSQIP risk calculator with POSSUM, area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was calculated for each tool. The statistical differences between the two AUC curves were compared using P value. Calibration of the agreement between observed and predicted outcomes was tested using the Brier score. The Brier score ranges from 0 to 1. The closer the score is to 0, the more accurate is the risk prediction model. There is a need of validation of the ACS NSQIP risk calculator in Spanish population which requires emergency (immediate and urgent) surgery. Besides, it is suggested that ACS NSQIP risk calculator performs better than POSSUM. Hence, its prediction performance is compared with POSSUM.
