Description
The patient's ability to tolerate surgery without significant morbidity is an important factor in triaging advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (AEOC) patients for initial surgical management. Indeed, the clinician could use this information to personalize decisions regarding upfront surgical cytoreduction versus neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The aim of our model is to develop and validate a simple adjusted laparoscopic score to predict major postoperative complications after primary debulking surgery (PDS) in AEOC.To obtain a simple and easily applicable pre-operative score, the number of potential predictors
was a priori restricted to the parameters with the best performance (p < 0.2) at multivariate analysis. Overlapping factors were removed based on their strong correlation and subsequent overfitting risk. The study population was randomly divided in a “derivation group” (n = 370) representing two-thirds of overall patients, and in a “validation group” (n= 185).
The multivariate model to predict major complications was developed in the derivation group. The regression coefficients of the predictive parameters were shrunk by the calculated constant shrinkage factor (0.94) and then transformed the results into simple points. The mean risk for each point was calculated, and a scale to associate the predicted risk to each score was developed. Significant predictors included in the scoring system were: poor performance status, presence of ascites (N>500 cm3), CA125 serum level (N>1000 U/ml), and high laparoscopic tumor load (predictive index value, PIV≥8). The sum of each value for each variable made the overall predictive risk score, which ranged between 0 and 8.
Then, the score and the predicted risk were computed for each patient in the validation population, and these new variables were tested using the c-statistic and the Hosmer–Lemeshow test.
Since our model was developed and validated on the same data, the performance could be too optimistic. However, to correct for the optimism in discriminative ability, the steps taken into Cox regression were internally validated by 200 random bootstrap samples and a subsequent correction for optimism in the c-statistic was performed. Moreover, since the model reflects a continuum of risk assessment, women were equally categorized a priori into three different classes: high risk group for score between 6 and 8, intermediate risk group for score between 3 and 5, and low risk group for score between 0 and 2.
The prediction of risk of major complications using the score as progressive values is:
2.2% for score 0
3.5% for score 1
5.4% for score 2
8.4% for score 3
12.7% for score 4
18.7% for score 5
26.7% for score 6
36.7% for score 7
47.9% for score 8
The mean risk of developing major postoperative complications was 3.7%, 13.2% and 37.1% for low risk group, intermediate risk group and high risk group, respectively.
To make more user-friendly this model, we have thought to develop an application for mobile devices. Indeed, despite the accuracy of internal validation by using a randomly selected 33% of the study cohort, a limitation of our model is the lack of validation in other centers and healthcare systems, which is a prerequisite for large-scale adoption of this score. In this context, although we acknowledge that laparoscopy is not adopted in many international centers, our results increase its indications and call for a larger use as valuable diagnostic tool in AEOC. Moreover, this application for mobile devices increase its reproducibility.
Lastly, through this app, the surgeon may accurately and easily predict a patient's postoperative outcome with an early identification of high-risk woman, thus adopting tailored strategies on individual basis.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
