A prospective study validated the AI-based POTTER calculator for predicting outcomes in emergency general surgery patients undergoing laparotomy. Involving 361 patients, it demonstrated high accuracy, with a c-statistic of 0.90 for 30-day postoperative mortality prediction and between 0.80 and 0.89 for other complications. The tool’s user-friendliness and interpretability enhance its value for preoperative counseling, establishing it as a beneficial resource for clinicians and families in critical surgical contexts.
