Additionally, we examined the reasons for surgery cancellation based on patient and hospital characteristics. Moreover, day of surgery (DOS) cancellation creates logistic and financial burden associated with extended hospital stay and repetitions of pre-operative preparations as well as opportunity costs of lost time and missed income. Required preoperative examinations, such as 12-lead electrocardiogram, laboratory analysis, and chest X-ray, should be confirmed before surgery and double-checked whenever possible. Pre-operative assessment and patient preparation the role of the anaesthetist. The incidence of cancellation of cases on the scheduled day of surgery is still high in the authors' hospital, and efforts should be made to prevent unnecessary cancellations through careful planning and closer interactions between surgeons and patients, and amongst members of the surgical team. The authors declare that they have no competing interests. Perioper Med 4, 12 (2015).

In the time period of the study, 98% of elective cases where admitted the day of surgery. 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%.

Rescheduling procedures requires significant time and expense, particularly if the operating room goes unused because of a late cancellation.

The surgery cancellation rate was lower when the patient was female (OR: 0.87, 95% CI: 0.820.93) or when the surgery was related to Obstetrics & Gynecology (OR: 0.53, 95% CI: 0.460.60) or Ophthalmology (OR: 0.66, 95% CI: 0.560.79). The probable reasons for this were as follows: there are very few day surgery cases in our hospital; all patients receiving general anesthesia should undergo a medical examination and evaluation by the anesthesiologist on the day before the operation [7, 8]. [1] The reasons for case cancellation as reported by Vinukondaiah et al.,2000[16] included: lack of operating time, emergency surgery during the elective list, and lack of fitness. and transmitted securely. The majority of the cancellations after anesthesia were due to the patients health status. volume2, Articlenumber:40 (2016) Google Scholar. So why would a surgery get canceled?

FOIA Methods: We analyzed the association of surgery cancellation with patient characteristics, surgical characteristics and surgery schedule related characteristics, using electronic medical record (EMR) data on surgeries conducted at a university hospital in Korea over 10 years. 2005;55(9):3748. 2005;55:3748. Anesth Analg. We evaluated the rates and reasons for cancellation and interviewed a subset of These cancellations were compared with the list of completed cases, to verify that no cancellation matched to a case that was ultimately started later that day. Results: Among 60,333 cases, surgery cancellation rate was 8.0%. Federal government websites often end in .gov or .mil. The rate for medical reasons (inadequate investigation or optimization and new or changed medical condition) was 0.63%. The mean weight (pounds) and BMI (kg/m) at initial consultation and last follow up visit were 290/47.4 and 280/46.1 respectively.

A DOSC rate for all causes of less than 2% is achievable at a tertiary care academic hospital where a CPA and management process are in place, supervised by the department of anesthesiology, but where a significant proportion of those assessments are done by a selective NS process.
