# Activity Measure for Postacute Care to Predict Discharge Destination After Surgery

## TL;DR

This study compares two models to predict if patients will need postacute care after surgery.

## Contribution

The study evaluates the predictive accuracy of the AM-PAC model compared to the NSQIP risk calculator.

## Key findings

- The AM-PAC model showed good predictive accuracy for discharge outcomes.
- The NSQIP risk calculator also demonstrated strong predictive performance.
- Both models are useful for predicting postacute care needs after surgery.

## Abstract

Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for the Activity Measure for Post‐Acute Care (AM‐PAC) model and American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) risk calculator model to predict discharge to postacute care.
