More Information
Summary:Prior history of pulmonary embolism, portal vein thrombosis, functional status, preoperative ventilator support, diabetes mellitus and Asian ethnicity emerged as significant independent factors on multivariable regression analysis for thromboembolic lethal complications. [...]they may be focusing on outcomes with lack of public health relevance (e.g., acute pain, postoperative nausea and vomiting) [9,10]. If anesthesiologists continue to focus solely on the early perioperative period, they will likely be examining issues with poor public health impact and they will not be engaged in improving important perioperative outcomes.
