Zusammenfassung:Henderson et al wish to thank Roepke and Besen for their interest in their publication and reply to their comments. The purpose of their study was to determine if they could accurately predict need for postoperative intensive care unit (ICU) use at their institution. To help with ICU resource allocation at their institution, they adopted a broad definition of the target population as anyone who required ICU admission after surgery, including outpatients, patients needing organ support, or those requiring ICU use prior to surgery. They believe general surgery should have been a risk factor, not a reference group in the model, that work relative value units are not easily measurable and applicable, and that the American Society of Anesthesiology class I group, having only 13 patients with postoperative ICU stay, should have been collapsed with other American Society of Anesthesiology class categories.
