From Ganfyd

A safety aid, widely used in medical practice. An example is the internationally validated and effective surgical peri-operative list with a reduction in the rate of death from 1.5% to 0.8% and inpatient complications from 11.0% to 7.0% in adults undergoing non-cardiac surgery. Even where practice was such that mortality did not decrease complication rates and thus morbidity fell significantly^[1].
