Article Synopsis
  • * Results showed that patients who did not undergo spirometry experienced significantly higher rates of POC (48% vs. 11%) and mortality (18% vs. 0.4%) when categorized as high-risk based on ARISCAT levels.
  • * The findings suggest that incorporating preoperative spirometry into guidelines for patients with moderate or high ARISCAT risk could lead to better postoperative outcomes and lower mortality rates.

Aim: Combining preoperative spirometry with the Assess Respiratory Risk in Surgical Patients in Catalunia (ARISCAT) risk scale can reduce post-operative complications and improve patient survival. This study aimed to assess the cost-effectiveness of performing spirometry or not in conjunction with the ARISCAT scale, to reduce post-operative complications and improve survival among adult patients undergoing elective surgery in Mexico.

Methods: A cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) was performed to compare the specific cost and health outcomes associated with the combined use of the ARISCAT scale and preoperative spirometry (Group 1), and the use of the ARISCAT scale without preoperative spirometry (Group 2).
