Self-reported poor exercise tolerance was associated with perioperative complications; hypothesis-generating for preoperative risk stratification in noncardiac surgery.
Does self-reported poor exercise tolerance predict serious perioperative complications in outpatients undergoing major noncardiac procedures?
