چکیده
Background There is no current consensus within the anaesthetic and perioperative research community on what outcomes are important, nor how to measure them. This leads to heterogeneity of outcome reporting in randomised controlled trials (RCTs), and selective outcome reporting – i.e. a bias towards reporting only statistically significant outcomes [1]. Here we describe an initiative to develop a Core Outcome Set for Anaesthetic and Perioperative Research.

متن کاملRisk stratification for obstructive sleep apnoea and optimal post-operative monitoring in an overnight stay ward
Objectives Prospective data is required to clarify the role of a one night stay ward (23‐hour ward, 23HW) for the post‐operative monitoring of surgical patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). The aim was to use a modified American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) screening tool to stratify the perioperative risk of OSA related complications and evaluate the role of a 23HW in the post‐op...
