PreScheck Team Study: prehabilitation clinic as an effective patient management tool in elective cardiac surgery.
Observational study in Anaesthesiology intensive therapy, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionThe main purpose of the study was to assess the impact of preoperative interdisciplinary assessment by the PreScheck Team on optimization of the final selection for elective cardiac surgery. MATERIAL AND
methodsThis is a single-centre prospective observational study. The examined population consisted of 933 adult patients planned for cardiac surgery. After the exclusion of urgent operations, the study group consisted of 288 patients planned for elective cardiac surgery within 3 months from 1.01.2023 with PreScheck assessment (PreScheck Team group 2) and a control group of 311 patients scheduled for elective cardiac surgery between 1.03.2022 and 30.06.2022 (4 months), without preoperative interdiscipli-nary assessment (No PreScheck Team group 2).
resultsFifty-two patients (18.06%) from the study group were finally excluded from the surgery on the scheduled date. In 46 patients (88.46%) the temporary or permanent exclusion from surgery was a result of PreScheck Team assessment. In the control group 42 patients (13.5%) did not undergo surgery on the scheduled date. Twenty-seven of those patients (8.97%) were permanently excluded from cardiac surgery after admission to the hospital and required additional tests before the final clinical decision, with total hospitalization time of 146 days.
conclusionsPre Surgery Check (PreScheck) Team is an original concept that combines classical preoperative assessment and an outpatient prehabilitation clinic. The approach we are proposing here should be a complementary stage in the process of selection for elective cardiac surgery, in addition to the Heart Team recommendation. This two-step decision-making enables real individual risk assessment, selection of the most suitable intervention and better use of medical resources.
