Do Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) guidelines reduce hospital length of stay, readmission, complications, and mortality in surgical patients?
Implementation of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) guidelines is associated with reduced hospital length of stay and fewer complications.
In this meta-analysis, ERAS guidelines were associated with decreased hospital length of stay and complications. Future studies should aim to improve implementation of ERAS and increase the reach of the guidelines.
