In this episode of Thinking Thoracic, hear from Christopher Seder, MD, professor of surgery and chief of the thoracic surgery division at Rush University, and Robert Habib, vice president of research and analytics at STS, about the development of the Society’s short-term risk calculators for pulmonary resection and esophagectomy, powered by the General Thoracic Surgery Database with more than 800,000 patient records. They discuss how these models reflect modern surgical practices and incorporate newer, evidence-backed variables, setting a new standard in personalized risk assessment for general thoracic surgery. And they discuss the launch of the widely anticipated STS risk calculator mobile app. Listen today.
