Key result
New preoperative assessment and optimization guidance recommends clear pathways, shared decision making, and team education to improve surgical patient outcomes and service efficiency.
Why the study?
Complications after surgery are common, predictable, and often preventable, prompting new guidance on preoperative assessment and optimisation.
Highlights new guidance on preoperative assessment and optimization to improve surgical outcomes and service efficiency.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May support structured preoperative pathways in surgical care; leaves open prospective trials to confirm outcome and efficiency gains.
Complications following surgery are common, predictable and often preventable. New preoperative assessment and optimisation guidance recommends clear pathways with triggers for interventions, patient involvement, shared decision making and team education, to help both patients and service efficiency.
