<![CDATA[Introduction. Elderly patients are at high risk of mortality after elective surgery. The aim of this study was to obtain and evaluate the performance of a mortality prediction model for elderly patients undergoing elective surgery. Methods. The design of this study was a retrospective cohort using medical record data from 747 elderly subjects who underwent elective surgery in the period January 2015–December 2017 at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital (RSCM), Jakarta. This study used multivariate analysis with logistic regression to determine significant predictors that were included in the prediction model. The performance of the prediction model was assessed using the Hosmer-Lameshow test, and its discrimination ability was determined by calculating the Area Under the Curve (AUC). Results. Of the total 747 elderly subjects, the elective surgery mortality rate was 14.5%. The predictor variables were functional status [ADL 9-11, OR 1.808 (95% CI 0.848-3.854); ADL 0-8, OR 3.382 (95% CI 1.724-6.634)], comorbidities [CCI 3-4, OR 12.206 (95% CI 5.317-28.018); CCI >5, OR 15.820 (95% CI 6.701-37.347)], albumin level <3 g/dL [OR 3.777 (95% CI 2.105-6.779)], type of surgery [grade II, OR 3.827 (95% CI 1.849- 7.923); grade III, OR 6.560 (95% CI 3.378-12.739)], and ASA status with an ASA score > 3 [OR 5.106 (95% CI 1.841-14.159)] were further included in the components of the surgical mortality predictor scoring system. The mortality prediction model was categorized into low risk (score < 7; probability of mortality 2.33%), medium risk (score 7-10; probability of mortality 25.22%), and high risk (score > 10; probability of mortality 74.67%). The prediction model showed good discrimination [AUC score 0.900 (95% CI: 0.873-0.927)] and good calibration (p=0.718 on Hosmer-Lameshow test). Conclusion. The prediction model of mortality among elderly patients undergoing elective surgery, incorporating factors like functional capacity, comorbidities, preoperative serum albumin concentrations, surgical procedure type, and ASA classification, showed good performance.]]>
