This study provides a straightforward predictive tool that utilizes easily accessible data to estimate individualized risks of recurrent sigmoid volvulus and all-cause mortality for older adults initially managed nonoperatively. The tool can assist clinicians and patients in making informed decisions about such risks. While the accuracy of the calculator was validated, further confirmation through external validation and prospective studies would enhance its clinical utility.
