About this study
Official title: A Prospective Observational Pilot Study Evaluating Anesthesiologists' Preoperative Clinical Prediction of Postoperative İntensive Care Unit (İCU) Admission in Adult Surgical Patients
This prospective observational pilot study will evaluate how accurately anesthesiologists can predict, before a procedure, whether an adult patient will require admission to an intensive care unit (İCU) after surgery or an endoscopic procedure.
Before each procedure, the anesthesiologist will record whether postoperative intensive care unit (İCU) care is expected and the clinical factors influencing this assessment. No changes will be made to the patient's usual medical care. After the procedure, the researchers will record whether the patient was admitted to the İCU and whether the admission was planned or unplanned. Additional information, including İCU and hospital length of stay, need for organ support, and in-hospital mortality, will also be collected when applicable.
The pilot study will also assess whether the planned data collection process is practical and whether the required study information can be collected completely before conducting the main prospective study.

What participants receive

Before the index procedure, the anesthesiologist will record whether postoperative intensive care unit admission is anticipated based on routine preoperative clinical assessment. This assessment is observational and will not alter routine patient care.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Adult Surgical and Endoscopic Procedure Cohort | Adult patients undergoing eligible surgical or endoscopic procedures on the predefined study days will be included in this prospective observational cohort. Before each procedure, the anesthesiologist will record whether postoperative intensive care unit admission is anticipated. Actual intensive care unit (İCU) admission and other postoperative outcomes will subsequently be recorded. No study-specific intervention will be performed.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Accuracy of Preoperative Prediction of Postoperative Intensive Care Unit Admission
Overall prediction accuracy will be calculated as the proportion of evaluable patients for whom the anesthesiologist's preoperative prediction of postoperative intensive care unit (İCU) need agrees with actual İCU admission status within 24 hours after the index procedure. Patients with mandatory postoperative İCU admission according to institutional protocol will not be included in this primary analysis.
Measured: Within 24 hours after the index surgical or endoscopic procedure
Secondary outcomes (1)
Unanticipated Postoperative Intensive Care Unit Admission
The proportion of evaluable patients who are admitted to the intensive care unit (İCU) within 24 hours after the index procedure despite postoperative İCU care not being anticipated during the preoperative anesthesiology assessment.
Measured: Within 24 hours after the index surgical or endoscopic procedure
