Since prior models were not readily available for EHR-integration, our objective was to develop and validate a risk stratification tool, named the Assessment of Geriatric Emergency Surgery (AGES) score, predicting risk of 30-day major postoperative complications in geriatric patients under consideration for urgent and emergency surgery using pre-surgical existing electronic health record (EHR) data.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Patients 65-years and older undergoing urgent or emergency non-cardiac surgery within 21 hospitals 2017\u20132021 were used to develop the model (randomly split: 80% training, 20% test). The primary outcome was a 30-day composite outcome including several postoperative major complications and mortality; secondary outcomes included common individual complications included in the primary composite outcome (sepsis, progressive renal insufficiency or renal failure, and mortality). Patients\u2019 EHR-based clinical history, vital signs, labs, and demographics were included in logistic regression, LASSO, decision tree, Random Forest, and XGBoost models.

AUCROC ranged from 0.655 (Decision Tree) \u2013 0.804 (XGBoost) for the primary composite outcome.
