Overview

Cross-sectional study identifies key demographic variables affecting comorbidities and surgical risks in patients, suggesting improved anesthetic care.

Key Points

  • MAIN FINDING: Age and BMI significantly predict hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease in surgical patients.
  • KEY EVIDENCE: The prevalence of hypertension was 81.3% in patients aged 41-60 years and obesity class II patients showed an 84.8% prevalence of hypertension.
  • APPROACH: Data were collected from 500 patients in a tertiary care hospital through structured forms and analyzed with chi-square tests.
  • SIGNIFICANCE: Understanding demographic and socioeconomic factors can enhance preoperative risk assessments and improve patient safety.
