What is the evidence for using various risk stratification techniques to predict postoperative adverse events in patients undergoing major surgery?

Population

Patients undergoing major surgery

Intervention

Risk stratification techniques including risk prediction models, functional capacity assessment (e.g., cardiopulmonary exercise testing), and biochemical markers (e.g., BNP, CRP)

Outcome

Postoperative adverse events

Combining objective measures like cardiopulmonary exercise testing and biochemical markers may improve perioperative risk stratification compared to subjective clinical models.
