Predictive Power of the "Trigger Tool" for the detection of adverse events in general surgery: a multicenter observational validation study
Background
In spite of the global implementation of standardized surgical safety checklists and evidence-based practices, general surgery remains associated with a high residual risk of preventable perioperative complications and adverse events. This study was designed to validate the hypothesis that a new âTrigger Toolâ represents a sensitive predictor of adverse events in general surgery.
Methods
An observational multicenter validation study was performed among 31 hospitals in Spain. The previously described âTrigger Toolâ based on 40 specific triggers was applied to validate the predictive power of predicting adverse events in the perioperative care of surgical patients. A prediction model was used by means of a binary logistic regression analysis.
Results
The prevalence of adverse events among a total of 1,132 surgical cases included in this study was 31.53%. The âTrigger Toolâ had a sensitivity and specificity of 86.27% and 79.55% respectively for predicting these adverse events. A total of 12 selected triggers of overall 40 triggers were identified for optimizing the predictive power of the âTrigger Toolâ.
Conclusions
The âTrigger Toolâ has a high predictive capacity for predicting adverse events in surgical procedures. We recommend a revision of the original 40 triggers to 12 selected triggers to optimize the predictive power of this tool, which will have to be validated in future studies
