The appropriate assessment of patients prior to surgery to identify coexisting medical problems and to plan peri-operative care is of increasing importance. The goals of peri-operative assessment are to identify important medical issues in order to optimise their treatment, inform the patient of the risks associated with surgery, and ensure care is provided in an appropriate environment secondly to identify important social issues which may have a bearing on the planned procedure and the recovery period and to familiarise the patient with the planned procedure and the hospital processes.(American Society of Anaesthesiologists)

Per the study, the “findings have a few important implications. A substantial minority of patients aged 80 and older who have major noncardiac surgery die or suffer a postoperative complication, but the majority have good outcomes, and for many operations, mortality rates were low (>2%).” The

Postoperative care is defined as care that is given between 24 hours and 30 days after surgery (Hutton and Cooper, 2014). Postoperative care is essential to ensure the patient fully recovers from the surgery and is able to return to normal capacity as soon as possible, without complications. The first post-operative assessment was done immediately when Mrs Jones returned from the theatre. A detailed handover was given by the recovery nurse. As a way of evaluating her condition; respiratory, circulatory, neurological,

Pre- and post-operative Patient Reported Outcomes Measures (PROMs) are being used with increasing frequency to measure the severity of a patient’s symptoms and level of function. They can be important tools in assessing a patient’s suitability for surgery, expected outcome and post-operative recovery. Although their use derives helpful clinical data, not all clinicians have adopted their use into their busy clinical practice.

In our institution, the outcome scores were only measured at before surgery, 6 months and 2 years post-surgery. Due to multiple reasons, outcome scoring was not done beyond 2 years. The follow-ups after 2 years were mainly to see if patient develop any new complaints which to be addressed upon.

We can see that there is a change of sign between 0.195 and 0.196 and so the estimate of the root is (0.195+0.196) ÷2 which is equal to 0.1955 with a maximum error of ± 0.0005
