In the ever-evolving landscape of cardiothoracic surgery, quick access to reliable data can make a critical difference. The STS Risk Calculator Mobile App offers surgeons real-time surgical risk estimates right in their pockets.
Developed by The Society of Thoracic Surgeons, the app brings the full functionality of STS’s highly-trusted adult cardiac and thoracic surgery risk calculators to mobile devices for both iOS and Android. It’s built for use wherever care is delivered: at the bedside, in the OR, during pre-op consults, or on the go.
“Having immediate access to reliable, evidence-based risk assessment tools is critical for improving surgical decision-making and patient outcomes,” said STS President Joseph F. Sabik III, MD. “This mobile app ensures that up-to-date, risk-adjusted data are always within reach, bringing the power of the STS National Database to surgeons and care teams wherever and whenever they need it.”
The app uses the same precise statistical models as the online calculators, built on the robust foundation of the STS National Database, one of the largest and most respected clinical registries in the world, with nearly 10 million procedures contributed by more than 4,300 surgeons.
Streamlined, Data-Driven Care—Anytime, Anywhere
With an interface designed for efficiency and speed, the app allows multidisciplinary teams to estimate a patient’s operative risk in real time. It empowers surgeons with clinical insights that are evidence-based and instantly actionable. By embedding these tools in a mobile platform, STS is reinforcing its commitment to leveraging technology to improve patient care, making it easier for members to incorporate real-time data into their decision-making processes.
A Step Forward in Surgical Innovation
The STS Risk Calculator Mobile App offers members not only mobility but also confidence in their surgical planning. It’s part of STS’s broader mission to deliver practical, innovative solutions that support excellence in cardiothoracic care.
