Pooled result
As reported in the abstract
Preoperative risk factors for poor multidimensional recovery
- Factors associated with poor recovery: ASA grade, recovery tool baseline score, physical function, number of co-morbidities, previous surgery, psychological well-being
- Mixed results for age, BMI and preoperative pain
- Quality of evidence very low to low
