The APRI/ALBI App
“Innovation is the ability to see change as an opportunity – not a threat.”
Steve Jobs
At Mayo Clinic Rochester, with great support of Sean Cleary and Elizabeth Habermann, we utilized data from the NSQIP database to assess the predictive value of our APRI+ALBI score for postoperative outcome after liver resection. We aimed at assessing clinically relevant outcome parameters and focused specifically on 30-days postoperative mortality. With over 12000 patients included we were able to achieve a statistical power that allowed us to generate clinically very meaningful data.
We used these relevant results to generate predictive models together with Hubert Hackl and were ultimately able to develop a smart phone application together with Johannes Starlinger and 37binary that now allows us to translate these results into true clinical utility.
