Impact of Preoperative Functional Capacity on Postoperative Mortality and Morbidity: A Prospective Cohort Study
Self-reported functional capacity, categorized by MET levels, is associated with both short- and long-term postoperative mortality and morbidity in a dose-response-like manner. These findings support continued use of MET in preoperative assessments and suggest that granular MET categorization enhances risk stratification.
