Disclaimer:

The web implementation of this prediction tool, linked from the website of the Medical University of Vienna's Center for Medical Statistics, Informatics and Intelligent Systems (CeMSIIS), complements the scientific article 'Development and Internal Validation of an Algorithm based on Preoperative Data to Predict the Risk of Inadvertent Intraoperative Hypothermia' by Wallisch, Zeiner et al. (submitted) by implementing the prediction models for hypothermia in a user-friendly web interface, and is for general health information only. The prediction tool is not to be used as a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment of any health condition or problem.

Users of the prediction tool should not rely on information provided by the prediction tool for their own health problems. Questions should be addressed to your own physician or other healthcare provider. Moreover, the prediction tool does not predict, whether a single patient will suffer from hypothermia during surgery or not, because this is influenced by a large variety of genetic and acquired factors, some of which are still unknown.

CeMSIIS makes no warranties, nor express or implied representations whatsoever, regarding the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, comparative or controversial nature, or usefulness of any information contained or referenced in the prediction tool. CeMSIIS does not assume any risk whatsoever for your use of the prediction tool or the information contained herein. Health related information changes frequently and therefore information contained in the prediction tool may be outdated, incomplete or incorrect.

Use of the prediction tool does not create an express or implied physician-patient relationship. CeMSIIS does not endorse or claim validity for the prediction tools found on the meduniwien.ac.at website. The activities and products of CeMSIIS and its developers and agents are not endorsed by our past, present, or future employers. CeMSIIS does not record specific prediction tool user information and does not contact users of the prediction tools.

In using the prediction tools, you agree that neither CeMSIIS nor any other party is or will be liable or otherwise responsible for any decision made or any action taken or any action not taken due to your use of any information presented in the prediction tool.
