Overview

High postoperative morbidity persists after moderate-risk elective surgery; observational predictors of tissue trauma and perfusion merit prospective interventional trials.

Structured PICO

P
Population
438 patients undergoing a diverse group of routine, moderate-risk, elective surgical procedures
I
Intervention
Assessment using a 9-point postoperative morbidity survey
O
Outcome
Postoperative complication, defined as either in-hospital death or prolonged postoperative hospitalization (> 7 days)composite

Complications after routine, moderate-risk, elective surgery are common (27%) and involve multiple organ systems, which can be effectively characterized using a 9-point postoperative morbidity survey.
