Highlights patient/procedural factors linked to 7-day mortality; leaves open anesthesia's independent role in current practice.
Observational (n=100,000)
Do anesthesia factors contribute to seven-day operative mortality?
Patient and surgical risk factors are much more important predictors of seven-day operative mortality than anesthesia-related factors.
Marsha M. Cohen (1988) conducted an observational in Patients undergoing anesthesia (n=100,000). Anesthesia factors was evaluated on Seven-day mortality. Anesthetic factors added no increment in the prediction of seven-day operative mortality beyond what was predicted by patient and surgical risk factors.
