Core Tip

Core Tip: Performing an oesophagectomy is a technically demanding procedure for the surgeon and a physiologically demanding undertaking for the patient. Aspects relating to the operation, as well as preoperative patient characteristics both have a significant impact on perioperative outcomes. These factors have been harnessed in the construction of numerous multivariate models aimed at identifying individuals at heightened risk. Given the plethora of options available, it is important to determine which of these models is most accurate in doing this and thereby most effective in guiding resource allocation.
