Abstract
IT HAS been estimated that approximately 60% to 70% of all surgical procedures are now being performed on an outpatient basis.1 As outpatient surgery continues to include a wider range of procedures and is offered to more patients at high risk, it is important to examine its safety in actual settings for high-risk populations.Keywords
