International seven day cohort study of
standards of care and clinical outcomes
for non-cardiac surgery
European Surgical Outcomes Study
(EuSOS)
EuSOS Objectives of talk
• Describe current data on surgical outcome
• Explain why we need better data for Europe
• Describe study design and methods
• Explain data collection
• Provide contact details
• 234 million major surgical procedures worldwide
• 4,000 procedures per 100,000 population overall
• 11,000 procedures per 100,000 in high income countries
80% of surgical deaths are from the high-risk population

Poor outcomes from high-risk surgery are hidden
by large numbers of low risk cases

high-risk surgical population
• 21 million in-patient general procedures
• 2.6 million high-risk procedures
• 1.3 million patients develop complications
• 315,000 deaths

Poor quality of surgical outcome data
• Inaccurate healthcare systems data
• Specialty society data on limited subsets
• Mostly retrospective analyses
• Too much focus on elective surgery
• No comparative data across Europe
• Hospital mortality rate
• Duration of hospital stay
• Standard of peri-operative care
• Do standards of care differ across Europe?
• Does mortality differ across Europe?
• What determines admission to critical care after surgery?
EuSOS: for in-patient non-cardiac surgery, what is the…
• Observational seven day cohort study
• Follow-up to hospital discharge
• Basic dataset for all adult non-cardiac surgery
• Follow-up for clinical outcomes (inc crit care)
• Web-site entry of anonymous patient data
EuSOS: Study design
EuSOS: Inclusion criteria
All adult patients undergoing
in-patient non-cardiac surgery during
the seven day study period
Start: 09:00 4th April 2011
Finish: 08:59 11th April 2011
EuSOS: Exclusion criteria
• No planned overnight hospital stay
• Neurosurgery
• Obstetrics
• Cardiac surgery (thoracic surgery is included)
EuSOS: Data collection
• Data set as small as possible......!
• Hospital data form: describing size, case mix, etc
• Operating room form: describing all patients
• Critical Care form: only for admissions to critical care– NB defined as a unit which can routinely ventilate overnight
• Internet based entry from paper case records
EuSOS: Data set
• Age
• Gender
• ASA grade
• Co-morbid disease
• Procedure category
• Urgency
• Duration
• Anaesthetic technique
• Cardiac output monitoring
• Seniority of medical staff
• Recovery stay (hours)
• Critical care stay
• Ventilation within 24 hours
• Data for SAPS III & SOFA
• Inotrope / vasopressor use
• Duration of hospital stay
• In-hospital mortality
Outcome measures
• Primary:– In-hospital mortality
• Secondary:– Duration of hospital stay– Duration of critical care stay
EuSOS: Study sites
• So far, over 300 hospitals in 30 nations
• Geographical Europe (EU and non-EU nations)
• National co-ordinators in each nation
• Local co-ordinators in each hospital
EuSOS: Risks of failure
• Enough hospitals to represent national practice
• Poor data capture (completion of data forms)
• Poor data return (internet data entry)
EuSOS: Opportunities
• Provide powerful data to improve patient care
• International benchmark for each hospital
• Formation of international research group
• Public recognition for every investigator
• Data sharing for future research
EuSOS: Steering committee
• Rupert Pearse (chief investigator) UK
• Peter Bauer (statistician) Austria
• Philipp Metnitz Austria
• Rui Moreno Portugal
• Paolo Pelosi Italy
• Andy Rhodes UK
• Claudia Spies Germany
• Benoit Vallet France
