Exclusion criteria were as follows: age &lt;60 years old; inability to give informed consent; emergency\/urgency surgery, inability to understand Portuguese; patients admitted in the ICU after surgery. POSSUM was used to estimate postoperative mortality risk. WHODAS 2.0 and CFS were used to assess quality of life and health status. Mortality was evaluated during hospital stay and 30 days after surgery. area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) was analyzed to test the discrimination of P-POSSUM, WHODAS 2.0 and CFS scale.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Statistical Analysis Used:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Statistical analysis was done using the SPSS Software (version 24.0).<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>POSSUM-predicted mortality was 3.0% with a standardized mortality ratio = 0.87; 95% CI 0.62\u20130.93; and a good calibration (H\u2013L: <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic> = 0.646); however, the AUROC was poor (0.563).
