Summary

A new scoring system, the intraoperative therapeutic intensity score (I-TIS), quantifies intraoperative care interventions. This validated tool effectively differentiates care intensity and correlates with surgical complexity.

Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology
  • Health Services Research
  • Perioperative Medicine

Background:

  • Healthcare systems need precise measures of care intensity for cost-effectiveness.
  • Existing scoring systems do not quantify intraoperative care interventions.
  • Perioperative patient care requires detailed assessment of resource utilization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a scoring system to quantify intraoperative therapeutic intensity.
  • To assess the correlation of the new score with surgical complexity and American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classifications.
  • To differentiate the intensity of care across various surgical procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a 78-item intraoperative therapeutic intensity score (I-TIS).

  • Assigning points based on resource utilization and intensity for physiological/biochemical monitoring and interventions.
  • Validation using two patient groups (n=750) and comparison with ASA classification and surgical complexity.

    • Main Results:

    • The I-TIS successfully differentiated between patients with short (7.3 +/- 5.0) and extended (25.2 +/- 12.4) postoperative care needs (P < 0.001).
    • Strong correlations were found between I-TIS and surgical complexity (r = 0.77), ASA base relative value units (r(s) = 0.75), and ASA physical status (r(s) = 0.49).
    • The score demonstrated its ability to distinguish varying levels of intraoperative care intensity.

    Conclusions:

    • A validated scoring system, I-TIS, has been developed to quantify non-surgical intraoperative care.
    • The I-TIS correlates well with surgical complexity and effectively differentiates care intensity.
    • This tool can aid healthcare systems in objectively measuring and managing intraoperative resource utilization.
