Abstract
The ADSCI is the first tool to be specifically developed for the preoperative assessment of the complexity of ASD surgery. This study confirms its validity, specificity, and sensitivity, and shows that it has greater predictive capability than the more generic Mirza invasiveness index. The ADSCI should be useful for quantitatively estimating the increased risk associated with more invasive surgery and adjusting for surgical case-mix when making safety comparisons in ASDS.
