The American Society of Anesthesiologists score (ASA score) is a preoperative assessment tool used to evaluate a patient's overall health status prior to undergoing anesthesia for surgery. It is applicable to all patients who are scheduled for surgery, regardless of their age or type of surgery. 

The ASA score is used to predict perioperative risks and potential complications, helping clinicians to plan appropriate anesthetic management and postoperative care. It ranges from ASA I (a healthy patient) to ASA VI (a declared brain-dead patient whose organs are being removed for donor purposes). 

There are no specific exclusion criteria for the ASA score, but it should be noted that it is a subjective assessment and may vary between clinicians. It does not take into account the type or complexity of the surgery, and it is not designed to predict long-term prognosis or survival.
