Abstract
The Surgical Procedure Assessment score predicts intensive care unit length of stay better than other comparable scores. It is simple, intuitive, and easily understood by all caregivers and can preoperatively discriminate fast-track from prolonged-stay patients. It is a useful tool to facilitate intensive care unit triage.
