Sponsor's own description
For more than 50 years it has been shown that preoperative evaluations by anesthesiologists include too many unnecessary tests. Many of the tests ordered do not change the management of the patients. One example are preoperative coagulation tests which rarely give relevant information and can be omitted if the patients have a negative structured bleeding questionnaire. This situation has lead to the publication of many guidelines on preoperative evaluation, one of the most comprehensive being the 2022 guidelines by the European Society of Cardiology for the preoperative evaluation of cardiac patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery. In Belgium, an independent center of experts, the Kenniscentrum - Centre d'Expertise (KCE) was created to give expert and independent opinions on healthcare related subjects. These recommendations are often used by Belgian authorities to guide public health law and determine which medical procedures or tests are covered by the social security. The KCE has published an extensive guide on preoperative evaluation of patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery (KCE Reports 280Bs. D/2016/10.273/102.) These guidelines are freely available, either in print version, on the dedicated Website or as an App, and have been extensively spread in the anesthesiology community. Laboratory tests not recommended in these guidelines are not covered by the social security if no solid reason is given in the medical chart. In this retrospective study, adherence to the KCE guidelines on preoperative evaluations will be evaluated in a tertiary University hospital. All patients, scheduled for elective surgery, will be included for a period of 3 month. For every patient the recommended tests will be determined and compared to the actual tests prescribed by the anesthesiologist during the preadmission visit.
