Area of Science:

  • Medical Science
  • Surgical Procedures
  • Patient Outcomes

Context:

  • Prospective study of 791 patients undergoing surgical treatment.
  • Inclusion criteria: age 40 or younger.
  • Preoperative tests included blood count, metabolic panel, coagulation studies, liver function tests, chest X-ray, and electrocardiogram.

Purpose:

  • To analyze the usefulness and indications of preoperative evaluation.
  • To determine the relative risk of complications based on preoperative variables.
  • To assess the correlation between clinical evaluation and auxiliary tests.

Summary:

  • 751 patients (335 male, 416 female, mean age 63.9) were analyzed.
  • Metabolic disorders (16.9%) and postoperative infections (7.0%) were most frequent complications.

  • Seventeen deaths (2.2%) were directly related to surgery or complications.

    • Impact:

    • Clinical evaluation is paramount in estimating surgical risk factors.
    • Selection of auxiliary tests should align with clinical findings.
    • Optimizing preoperative assessment can potentially reduce surgical complications and mortality.
