The effect of comorbidity on 28-day perioperative mortality rate among non-cardiac surgical patients in Northwest Ethiopia: a prospective cohort study using propensity score matching
This study found a moderate prevalence of comorbid illnesses among non-cardiac surgical patients, with comorbidity increasing the risk of 28-day perioperative mortality. Preoperative screening and optimization are highly recommended for patients with comorbid illness to decrease perioperative mortality rate.
