What Gupta Risk Calculator does
The guide explains how to calculate the Gupta risk score to assess a patient's likelihood of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) during non-cardiac surgery. It provides a structured method to evaluate risk based on six clinical variables, aiding surgical decision-making and preoperative optimization. The tool is designed for anesthesiologists and surgical teams to stratify patient risk before major operations.
