Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness and usefulness of the current practice of various examinations ordered by anesthesiologists during the pre-anesthetic evaluation in patients who are intended for elective surgery in our hospital. We will also evaluate the effect of delay \& its value to predict postoperative complications.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

For each preoperative requested test, we will determine whether the test is indicated based on the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) guidelines and whether it was effective for adverse effects management or unnecessarily requested.

An adherent test was defined as a test that followed NICE, while a non-adherent test was defined as a test that included an over or under test. Normal test results are based on the laboratory reference range of normal values.
