Validation of the emergency surgery score’s predictive accuracy for postoperative outcomes and ICU admissions in MENA vs. non-MENA emergency surgery patients
The ESS is a superior tool compared to ASA for predicting postoperative outcomes in emergency surgical patients, and it is applicable to diverse populations, including those from the MENA region. ESS enhances preoperative risk stratification, informs counseling decisions, and supports quality benchmarking across different healthcare settings. Future studies should address potential biases, including selection and information bias, and further explore ESS's role in different cultural contexts.
