Key result
Higher preoperative anxiety is linked to longer planned procedure durations and lower ASA scores.
Why the study?
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between preoperative anxiety levels, ASA scores, and complete blood count parameters.
Is there a relationship between preoperative anxiety levels, complete blood count parameters, and ASA scores in adult patients scheduled for elective surgery?

Is there a relationship between preoperative anxiety levels, complete blood count parameters, and ASA scores in adult patients scheduled for elective surgery?
Higher preoperative anxiety in elective surgery patients is associated with longer planned procedure durations and lower ASA scores.
Should not yet alter preoperative assessment or scheduling; hypothesis-generating for anxiety's role in elective surgery planning.
AbstractAim: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between preoperative anxiety levels and ASA scores and complete blood count parameters. Methods: This clinical study included adult patients aged 18–70 scheduled for elective surgery. Demographic data, clinical characteristics, planned procedure duration, and ASA classification were recorded. Preoperative anxiety levels were assessed in the preoperative waiting area using a standardized anxiety scale. Hematological parameters were obtained from hospital records. Appropriate statistical tests were used based on data distribution. Results: A total of 118 patients were enrolled. Patients with higher anxiety levels had significantly longer planned procedure durations and lower ASA scores. (p
