Appendix A. Full definitions of predictor variables and clinical outcomes

American Society of Anaesthesiologists physical status classification (ASA grade)

ASA grade is a validated system used to assess and communicate a patient’s pre-anaesthesia

medical comorbidities (1). The classification system can be used to stratify risks of

postoperative complications. The following grades were defined in the study protocol:

• Grade 1: Healthy person

• Grade 2: Mild systemic disease

• Grade 3: Severe systemic disease

• Grade 4: Severe systemic disease that is a constant threat to life

• Grade 5: A moribund person who is not expected to survive without the operation.

Revised Cardiac Risk Index (RCRI)

The RCRI represents a multifactorial approach to assessing perioperative cardiac risk. It is

calculated as a composite of:

• Procedural risk (intraperitoneal/intrathoracic versus other): in this study all patients

undergoing cardiac surgery, gastrointestinal surgery, general surgery, gynaecology,

hepatobiliary surgery, thoracic surgery, urology, or vascular surgery procedures scored this

point.

• History of ischemic heart disease.

• History of myocardial infarction.

• History of congestive heart failure.

• History of cerebrovascular disease (stroke or transient ischaemic attack).

• History of diabetes mellitus requiring insulin use: in this study all diabetic patients scored

this point.

16
• History of chronic kidney disease (creatinine > 176 μmol/L): in this study all patients

reported to have moderate or severe chronic kidney disease scored this point.

Each item adds 1 point to the score. The total score gives an attributable risk score from 0

(lowest risk) to 6 (highest risk) (2). Patients with known Chronic Kidney Disease scored a point

for this factor, even in the absence of preoperative creatinine testing in settings where this was

not performed routinely.

Pre-existing respiratory disease

Pre-existing respiratory disease was defined as a formal, preoperative diagnosis of Chronic

Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), asthma or interstitial lung disease.

Preoperative SARS-CoV-2 test

A preoperative SARS-CoV-2 test was defined as a reverse transcriptase polymerase-chain

reaction nasopharyngeal swab test performed in the 72h before surgery. As per the inclusion

criteria in this study, only patients with a negative test (or without a test nor suspicion of SARS-

CoV-2 infection) were included.

Grade of surgery

Grade of surgery was categorised on the basis of the Bupa schedule of procedures as either

minor (minor or intermediate according to the Bupa schedule) or major (major or complex major

according to the Bupa schedule) (3).

Hospital type

The hospital type was categorised at an individual patient level at the time of surgery, according

to the type of surgical pathway in which they underwent surgery (4).

• COVID-free surgical pathway if:

17
 o the hospital admitted patients for treatment of COVID-19, but provided

admission, operation and recovery areas for surgical patients that were fully

segregated from COVID-19 patients, including ward, theatres and intensive care

areas;

o OR if the hospital did not admit patients for treatment of COVID-19 (i.e., a

dedicated ‘cold’/’green’/’COVID-19 free’ site for elective surgery only)

• No defined pathway if any of the areas where the patient was operated or admitted was

shared with COVID-19 patients, the patients was considered to have underwent surgery

in a non-segregated pathway.

Community SARS-CoV-2 risk

The community SARS-CoV-2 incidence was calculated for each participating hospital’s local

community. As the CovidSurg-Cancer study and the GlobalSurg-CovidSurg Week study were

ran at different stages of the pandemic (January to April 2020 and October 2020, respectively),

the SARS-CoV-2 risk at a global and local level was different across studies.

The community SARS-CoV-2 incidence was determined for each patient based on the 14-day

case notification rate at the time of surgery in each participating country. These data were

extracted from World Health Organisation (5), European Centre for Disease Prevention and

Control (6), or US Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (7) statistics using the Our

World in Data portal. SARS-CoV-2 rates were calculated for two-week windows based upon the

number of confirmed SARS-CoV-2 cases at the smallest available administrative level (city,

region, or country) in the 14-days around the date of surgery (7-days before, 7-days after) (8).

For the patients included in the CovidSurg Cancer study, the hospitals were classified as being

in communities with either low (< 25 cases per 100,000 population) or high (≥ 25 cases per

18
100,000 population) SARS-CoV-2 incidence. For the patients included in the GlobalSurg-

CovidSurg Week study, the case cut-off per 100,000 used to define low and high-risk areas was

100 cases per 100,000 population, reflecting changes in access to testing and reporting

between February and October 2020.

Country income

Country level income was defined according to the World Bank index classification (updated in

2019) based on Gross National Income per capita, which determines three income groups: high

income; upper-middle income; lower middle-income (including patients from both low and lower-

middle income countries).

Postoperative pulmonary complications

The primary outcome was postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs), which was defined

as a composite of postoperative pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and

unexpected ventilation. This outcome has been used in previous CovidSurg studies, having

been adapted from the PRISM randomised controlled trial (4, 9-13).

The PPC rate was the primary outcome in all three studies; however, in the RECON study, two

addition complications (atelectasis and pulmonary aspiration) were included in the primary

outcome definition (full StEP-COMPAC criteria (14)). Definitions were harmonised before data

processing began (i.e., atelectasis or pulmonary aspiration only not classified as an event).

Unexpected postoperative ventilation was defined as any episode of non-invasive ventilation,

invasive ventilation, or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation after initial extubation after

surgery; or patient could not be extubated as planned after surgery.

19
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) was defined as an acute diffuse, inflammatory lung

injury, leading to increased pulmonary vascular permeability, increased lung weight, and loss of

aerated lung tissue with hypoxemia and bilateral radiographic opacities. The Berlin consensus

definition was used (15).

Postoperative pneumonia was recorded according to the US Center for Disease Control (CDC)

definition of pneumonia, modified to accommodate limited availability of radiological facilities at

some participating centres. Patients were required to have at least one of the following:

• Fever (>38°C) with no other recognised cause;

• Leucopoenia (white cell count <4.109) or leucocytosis (white cell count >12.109);

• For adults >70 years old, altered mental status with no other recognised cause;

AND at least two of the following:

• New onset of purulent sputum or change in character of sputum, or increased respiratory

secretions, or increased suctioning requirements;

• New onset or worsening cough, or dyspnoea, or tachypnoea;

• Rales, crackles or bronchial breath sounds;

• Worsening gas exchange (hypoxaemia, increased oxygen requirement).

The following chest radiograph findings were considered to confirm pneumonia: new or

progressive and persistent infiltrates; consolidation; or cavitation.

In the event of reoperation within 30-days, the clock continued to 30-days from the index

procedure i.e., the clock did not reset from the time of the reoperation. By definition any

reoperation for a postoperative complication would be ineligible, so any one patient could only be

included once in a study.

20
Training materials for primary outcome assessment were provided in the GlobalSurg-CovidSurg

week study and COVIDSurg-Cancer study within the study protocol, and through site initiation

webinars, that were launched live and then made available open-access on a dedicated

YouTube® channel. In this study, all investigators were postgraduate clinicians regularly

involved in the diagnosis and care of PPCs. In the RECON study (which also included medical

student investigators), a dedicated training platform was established including five modules in

study delivery and governance. A dedicated module provided training on PPC diagnosis and

treatment for investigators, who had to pass a short evaluation before starting data collection.

low-middle (including both lower-middle and low-income
countries), according to the World Bank classification). Due
to differences in detection of SARS-CoV-2 with the
availability of facilities for testing and notification across
income settings, we pre-planned to handle and interaction
between these two location factors by creating a stratified
factor of community SARS-CoV-2 risk by income (11, 17,
18).
Outcome to be predicted: Postoperative pulmonary complications within 30-days of surgery –
with day 0 as day of surgery.

Step 2: Classify the type of prediction model evaluation

Use the following table to classify the evaluation as model development, model validation or
model update, or combination. Different signalling questions apply for different types of

22
 prediction model evaluation. If the evaluation does not fit one of these classifications then
PROBAST should not be used.

Step 3: Assess risk of bias and applicability

PROBAST is structured as four key domains. Each domain is judged for risk of bias (low,
high or unclear) and includes signalling questions to help make judgements. Signalling
questions are rated as yes (Y), probably yes (PY), probably no (PN), no (N) or no
information (NI). All signalling questions are phrased so that “yes” indicates absence of
bias. Any signalling question rated as “no” or “probably no” flags the potential for bias; you
will need to use your judgement to determine whether the domain should be rated as “high”,
“low” or “unclear” risk of bias. The guidance document contains further instructions and
examples on rating signalling questions and risk of bias for each domain.
The first three domains are also rated for concerns regarding applicability (low/ high/
unclear) to your review question defined above.
Complete all domains separately for each evaluation of a distinct model. Shaded boxes
indicate where signalling questions do not apply and should not be answered.

DOMAIN 1: Participants
A. Risk of Bias
DEV: This study was an international, prospective, multicentre cohort study of all consecutive
patients undergoing surgery between 5 October 2020 and 1 November 2020. Any centre
around the world performing inpatient surgery was eligible for inclusion. Participating centres
could include patients from one or more specialty groups, so long as consecutive sampling
was performed. This included both elective and emergency surgery, patients of all ages, and
undergoing all operation types and for any condition.

23
VAL Dataset1: CovidSurg-Cancer was an international, prospective cohort study of adult
patients with a diagnosis of surgically curable cancer with a decision for surgery during the
SARS-CoV-2 pandemic (i.e., from the emergence of COVID-19 up to 31 August 2020). Any
hospital worldwide that performed elective cancer surgery in an area affected by the COVID-
19 pandemic was eligible. Data from the 15 most common operated, solid tumour types were
collected with colleagues collaborating across 10 surgical oncology disciplines.

VAL Dataset2: RECON was a prospective multi-centre, international cohort study on

pulmonary complications after major abdominal surgery for adults. Eligible patients were
identified by local collaborators at each participating hospital during two data collection
periods: 1 January to 30 April 2019 (UK and Republic of Ireland), and 1 September to 31
October 2019 (Australia). Consecutive adult patients undergoing a broad range of major
abdominal surgeries were eligible across four surgical disciplines (abdominal visceral
resection, reversal of stoma, open vascular surgery, anterior abdominal wall hernia repair, or
transplant surgery through any operative approach). Planned day case procedures and
abdominal surgeries without visceral resection were excluded.

study data?
1.2 Were all inclusions and exclusions of participants appropriate? Y Y
Risk of bias introduced by selection of participants RISK: Low Low
(low/ high/ unclear)
Rationale of bias rating:
DEV: Cohort study for development of the model included all patients that underwent
surgery, no concern of eligibility criteria, those with likely SARS-COV2 were excluded.
Consecutive series of patients included.

VAL Dataset 1: Included all adult patients undergoing 15 most common (elective) cancer
surgery during the pandemic. No issue with eligibility criteria.
VAL Dataset 2: Consecutive eligible adult patients were included. No issues with eligibility
criteria, it seems reasonable.

B. Applicability
Describe included participants, setting and dates:
DEV: This study was an international, prospective, multicentre cohort study of all consecutive
patients undergoing surgery between 5 October 2020 and 1 November 2020. Any centre
around the world performing inpatient surgery was eligible for inclusion.

VAL Dataset 1: CovidSurg-Cancer was an international, prospective cohort study of adult

patients with a diagnosis of surgically curable cancer with a decision for surgery during the

VAL Dataset 2: Eligible patients were identified by local collaborators at each participating
hospital during two data collection periods: 1 January to 30 April 2019 (UK and Republic of
Ireland), and 1 September to 31 October 2019 (Australia). Consecutive adult patients
undergoing a broad range of major abdominal surgeries were eligible across four surgical
disciplines.

24
Concern that the included participants and setting CONCERN: Low Low
do not match the review question (low/ high/ unclear)
Rationale of applicability rating:
Included patients appear to be from wide geographical, as well as different types of surgery.
Included patients are presentative of the population specified in the review question. Patients
and setting seem to fit review question.

DOMAIN 2: Predictors
A. Risk of Bias
List and describe predictors included in the final model, e.g. definition and timing of
assessment:
Patient demographics: (Age, Sex, American Society of Anaesthesiologist grade, revised
Cardiac risk index score, pre-existing respiratory disease, compartment (thoracic /
abdominopelvic / head & neck / limb / other), indication (benign / cancer), anaesthetic type
(general / regional or local), operation grade (minor / major, defined according to the BUPA
operation severity classification system), community SARS-CoV-2 risk (low / high, based on
the 14-day cumulative case notification rate in the area of the hospital around the date of
surgery), country income (high / upper-middle / low-middle (including both lower-middle and
low-income countries), according to the World Bank classification). Due to differences in
detection of SARS-CoV-2 with the availability of facilities for testing and notification across
income settings, we pre-planned to handle and interaction between these two location
factors by creating a stratified factor of community SARS-CoV-2 risk by income.

DEV: All the variables were recorded when patient were included in the cohort study.
VAL: All variables were collected at baseline timepoint as cohort study.
Dev Val
2.1 Were predictors defined and assessed in a similar way for all participants? Y Y
2.2 Were predictor assessments made without knowledge of outcome data? Y Y
2.3 Are all predictors available at the time the model is intended to be used? Y Y
Risk of bias introduced by predictors or their RISK: Low Low
assessment (low/ high/ unclear)
Rationale of bias rating:
DEV & VAL: No major issues identified, standard definitions were used and circulated to all
participating hospitals. Acceptable rationale provided to input SARS-CoV-2 risk as low (no
risk) in pre-pandemic dataset.
B. Applicability
Concern that the definition, assessment, or timing of CONCERN: Low Low
predictors in the model do not match the review (low/ high/ unclear)
question
Rationale of applicability rating:
All predictors were measured at baseline and defined in standard way. They appear to match
the review question. One of the datasets is pre-pandemic and SARS-COV2 status is not
available but assumed to be low, which is an appropriate assumption.

DOMAIN 3: Outcome
A. Risk of Bias
Describe the outcome, how it was defined and determined, and the time interval between
predictor assessment and outcome determination:

25
DEV: The primary outcome measure was postoperative pulmonary complications (PPC)
within 30-days of surgery, with day 0 as the day of surgery. This was defined as a composite
of pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome and unplanned use of invasive or non-
invasive mechanical ventilation.

VAL: The primary outcome measure was postoperative pulmonary complications (PPC)
within 30-days of surgery, with day 0 as the day of surgery. This was defined as a composite
of pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome and unplanned use of invasive or non-
invasive mechanical ventilation.

3.2 Was a pre-specified or standard outcome definition used? Y Y
3.3 Were predictors excluded from the outcome definition? Y Y
3.4 Was the outcome defined and determined in a similar way for all Y Y
participants?
3.5 Was the outcome determined without knowledge of predictor information? PN PN
3.6 Was the time interval between predictor assessment and outcome Y Y
determination appropriate?
Risk of bias introduced by the outcome or its RISK: Low Low
determination (low/ high/ unclear)
Rationale of bias rating:
Training of outcome assessors and detailed definitions provided in appendix. PPC primary
outcome in all three studies, but subtly different outcome definition in RECON study – this
was harmonised before analysis and detailed in full in appendix.

The composite outcome is largely objective, and the prior knowledge of predictor information
unlikely to cause bias in this context. Almost impossible to blind e.g., patient sex or operation
grade to a clinical assessor. Assessment of radiology (required by diagnostic criteria for
component outcomes would have been fully blinded ie., an independent radiologist.

B. Applicability
At what time point was the outcome determined:

Outcome was determined 30 days after surgery

If a composite outcome was used, describe the relative frequency/distribution of each

contributing outcome:
Outcome is composite of

Concern that the outcome, its definition, timing or CONCERN: Low Low
determination do not match the review question (low/ high/ unclear)
Rationale of applicability rating:
This is good match to review question, timing as well as the outcome are same in all studies.

26
DOMAIN 4: Analysis
Risk of Bias
Describe numbers of participants, number of candidate predictors, outcome events and
events per candidate predictor:
DEV: 86231 with 1781 events and 13 predictor variables.
VAL: 30488 with1185 events in CovidSurg-Cancer and 6789 in RECON with 318 events
Describe how the model was developed (for example in regards to modelling technique (e.g.
survival or logistic modelling), predictor selection, and risk group definition):

Candidate predictor variables were identified in a systematic review of existing risk scores
and refined with multidisciplinary clinical input from surgery, anaesthesia and critical care
experts. In order to improve adoption of the risk stratification tool, we planned to only include
predictor variables that are available globally without the need for additional tests, and that
were relevant to resource-limited environments. All the predictor parameters were included in
two models. The first model consisted of a penalised logistic regression model, the least
absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) where logistic regression with an extra
penalty term shrinks covariate coefficients towards zero, allowing for the generation of
sparse models and concurrently performing feature selection (19). The second model applied
was gradient boosting decision trees (XGBoost), which is commonly recognised as a best-in-
class machine learning algorithm. XGBoost can acknowledge more complex interactions and
so is hypothesized to obtain better predictive capabilities (20). However, because of its
complexity, the ability to explain and understand predictive reasoning is hindered (‘black box
machine learning’). Hyperparameters of learning rate, maximum tree depth, loss reduction
and minimum number were tuned, with trees set to 1000.

The derivation set was split into a random 75 (training) and 25 (testing) split, and both
models were fit through 10-fold cross-validation and parameter tuning using tune race
analysis of variance (ANOVA) and ten random parameters in the training set. Given the class
imbalance predicted a priori (i.e., estimated PPC rate typically between 1% and 20%
depending on case-mix), for model fitting both the F statistic and AUROC were optimised.

Describe whether and how the model was validated, either internally (e.g. bootstrapping,
cross validation, random split sample) or externally (e.g. temporal validation, geographical
validation, different setting, different type of participants):

During the model selection phase, model performance and feature importance were
compared between the two model. Performance was estimated using the model
discrimination, which describes models’ ability to rank patients based on risk. Discrimination
was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC),
analogous to the C-Statistic. Confidence intervals were assessed from the cross validated
models. Variable importance was assessed for both modelling approaches to better
understand the model´s decision making (21). Final model selection was balanced between
(in order of priority): (1) performance; (2) interpretation and explainability; (3) the number of
predictor variables (i.e., fewer predictor variables assumed to be easier to adopt into clinical
practice). If the LASSO model was selected, we planned to refit this model using resampling
(2000 bootstraps) with coefficients were averaged across all resamples (22, 23)

The performance of the final model after internal validation (named hereafter the ‘CovidSurg-
Pulmonary Score’) was assessed using both discrimination and calibration measures.
Discrimination was presented with 95% confidence intervals calculated by bootstrap

27
resampling (2000 samples). Calibration, measuring the agreement between predicted and
observed risk, was examined through both the brier score, calibration in the large (slope and
intercept) and visualized through reliability diagrams across deciles of risk.
We assessed the CovidSurg-Pulmonary Score’s performance (discrimination and calibration)
in the external datasets, overall and in three pre-planned subgroups of high clinical
importance: (1) major versus minor operation grade, low (ASA grade 1-2) versus high (ASA
grade >3) risk, and high versus low-middle country income (including UMIC, LMIC and LIC).
To aid in the interpretation of the external validation we explored whether reproducibility or
transportability was being evaluated (24). In brief, this analysis has three phases. First,
assessing the relatedness of datasets with the C-statistic of a ‘membership model’. Second,
comparing model performance in the derivation and validation sets (discrimination,
calibration in the large, calibration slope). Third, interpretation of external validation results.

Describe the performance measures of the model, e.g. (re)calibration, discrimination,

(re)classification, net benefit, and whether they were adjusted for optimism:
AUROC for discrimination and brier score
Bootstrapping and cross validation

Describe any participants who were excluded from the analysis:

DEV: The overall rate of missing data was very low (<0.1% overall)

VAL: The overall rate of missing data was very low (<0.1% overall)
Describe missing data on predictors and outcomes as well as methods used for missing
data:
Complete case analysis was used as missing data was low for all candidate predictor
variables. Appropriate reference provided.

included some form of internal validation.
High risk of If at least one domain is judged to be at high risk of bias.

High concerns If high concerns regarding applicability for at least one domain,
regarding the prediction model evaluation is judged to have high concerns
applicability regarding applicability.
Unclear concerns If unclear concerns (but no “high concern”) regarding applicability
regarding for at least one domain, the prediction model evaluation is judged
applicability to have unclear concerns regarding applicability overall.
