In all published cases of DOSC rates <5%, a significant part of the success has been attributed to a structured preoperative process (see Table5). Miller TE, Thacker JK, White WD, Mantyh C, Migaly J, Jin J, et al. Some patients do bypass these two processes and are assessed by the perioperative team on the day of surgery. In the cases of hypertension and cardiac arrest, the elective cataract surgery was not performed. 2010). Cancellations of surgery are costly and cause loss of hospital income. This study shows that the overall DOSC rate at this institution is only 1.23%. Design: Article Cases that were known to be cancelled by the surgeon and the patient more than 24h before scheduled time, but not known to the scheduling staff, will have been included as DOSCs. It is therefore necessary to reduce such cancellations as much as possible. Preoperative clinic visits reduce operating room cancellations and delays. Surgical cancellations: a review of elective surgery cancellations in a tertiary care pediatric institution. DOSC causes are multifactorial, as are solutions, but structured preoperative screening and assessment programs have been shown to reduce DOSCs (Ferschl et al.

Thus, it cannot be compared to studies that concentrate on inpatients (Epstein and Dexter 2015). To determine the rate of DOSC for patients undergoing one of these encounters, the respective denominators were defined either by a compilation of the daily schedules of the preoperative assessment clinic or by the records of NS contacts. 2006;105(1):2245.

The numerators for rates were determined by scanning the list of all CPAs and NS encounters, with the dates, and matching forward to any DOSC occurring for that patient in the 30days after the preoperative assessment.

So while this study suggests that there is room for improvement, possibly with preoperative assessments, the rate is already so low that justification of preoperative assessments in this group will need to include reasons other than prevention of DOSCsuch as preventing delay of surgical start time.

The results of the logistic regression indicated a high probability of surgery cancellation when the patient was too old (odds ratio [OR]: 1.35, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.141.59), when it was a neurosurgery case (OR: 1.39, 95% CI: 1.211.59), when local anesthesia was used (OR: 1.15, 95% CI: 1.071.24) or when it was a planned surgery (OR: 2.45, 95% CI: 2.212.73).

It is difficult to assign a monetary value to these issues. That the preoperative process is driving at least part of the low rate is suggested by the fact that the CPA rate of 0.48% and the NS rate of 0.60% are both lower than the overall rate of 1.23%. 2019 Jun;66:72-78. doi: 10.1016/j.ijsu.2019.04.009.
