Abstract

intraoperative OR postoperative OR perioperative AND complication OR event. We excluded articles related to transplantation, cardiac, and pediatric surgery. We ran this search monthly during the eligible period and selected studies that were methodologically sound, were of interest to practicing internists, addressed common and morbid postoperative outcomes, and could potentially change the approach to diagnosis, risk stratification, or prevention of postoperative medical complications. Each author inde- pendently generated a list of articles for potential inclusion; we determined the final list by consensus. We consider here 5 broad topic areas: cardiac risk stratification and risk reduction strategies, preoperative pulmonary evaluation, venous thromboembolism prophy- laxis, diabetes mellitus, and postoperative delirium.
