Why the study?
Are postoperative complications associated with increased long-term mortality after elective surgery?
Are postoperative complications associated with increased long-term mortality after elective surgery?
Postoperative complications after elective surgery are linked to increased mortality at 1 year, highlighting the need for risk identification and mitigation.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May warrant closer postoperative monitoring; hypothesis-generating for trials targeting complication prevention to improve survival.
Postoperative complications are associated with increased mortality at 1 yr. Further research is needed to identify patients at risk of complications and to reduce mortality.
