Why the study?

Does routine preoperative laboratory testing identify clinically meaningful abnormalities or alter surgical management in women undergoing urogynecologic surgery?

Population

836 women undergoing urogynecologic surgery at a single institution over a 3-year period, mean age 57 ± 13…

Implication

Routine preoperative labs may have low yield in urogynecologic surgery; leaves open optimal selective testing strategies.

Structured PICO

Does routine preoperative laboratory testing identify clinically meaningful abnormalities or alter surgical management in women undergoing urogynecologic surgery?

Population

836 women undergoing urogynecologic surgery (411 major, 425 minor) at a single institution over a 3-year period, mean age 57 ± 13 years.

Intervention

Routine preoperative laboratory testing (basic metabolic panel, complete blood count, and type and screen)

Outcome

Incidence of newly diagnosed, clinically meaningful laboratory abnormalities on routine preoperative laboratory testing

Routine preoperative laboratory testing in women undergoing urogynecologic surgery does not identify clinically meaningful abnormalities or alter surgical management.
