Abstract
Analysis of the NSQIP experience with hepatectomy indicates that the current mortality and major morbidity rate benchmarks are 2.5% and 19.6%, respectively. Poor outcomes were associated with nutritional status, liver function and the extent of hepatectomy. The NSQIP general surgery morbprob and mortprob values were relatively poor predictors of post-hepatectomy observed morbidity, indicating the need for specialty-specific NSQIP modelling.
