Dear SIAARTI member,

The SIAARTI is supporting the MILESTONE-2 survey. In this survey, created by an international collaboration of (HPB) anesthesiologist and surgeons, we want to explore the reasons behind the large variations seen in the ASA classification in patients undergoing HPB surgery. To what extent is this actually related to patient factors?

A previous study of our group found large differences in ASA scores in HPB surgery between different countries. For pancreatic surgery: ASA III/IV in North America 78%, in Germany 48%, in the Netherlands 23%, and in Sweden only 3%. Since ASA is also utilized for case mix adjustment it is vital that consensus is reached on the practicalities of this system.

This online survey will only take 5-10 minutes to complete.  Please complete the survey using this link: Click here to complete the survey!

Best wishes,

On behalf of the MILESTONE-2 team,

Simone Augustinus, MD PhD candidate
Mohammad Abu Hilal, HPB surgeon
Markus W. Hollmann, anesthesiologist
Marc G. Besselink, HPB surgeon
