Cite This Study
Arbous et al. (1998) conducted a case-control in Anaesthesia-related morbidity and mortality. Anaesthesia-related risk factors vs. Matched controls without severe morbidity or mortality was evaluated on Severe peri-operative morbidity (comatose at 24 h) and mortality (death within 24 h). This report outlines the protocol for a case-control study evaluating severe peri-operative morbidity and mortality associated with anaesthesia-related risk factors, reporting no clinical results.
