Perceptions of eHealth and digitalization among professional anaesthesia personnel: A Swedish national study.
Article in Acta anaesthesiologica Scandinavica, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThe objective of this study was to evaluate anaesthesia care professionals' perceptions and attitudes regarding the implementation and advancement of digital solutions in perioperative care.
methodsAnaesthesia personnel working in public Swedish institutions where anaesthesia is administered were invited to respond to an online survey regarding their attitudes towards digitalization in the workplace and their perceptions of information provision and future digitalization within anaesthesia and surgical healthcare. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent-samples Kruskal-Wallis tests, and post-hoc pairwise comparisons.
resultsThe survey response rate was 64.0% (n = 627). Most respondents agreed/strongly agreed that digital solutions facilitate their work, the preoperative preparation, patient participation, and being involved in the patients' journeys throughout the perioperative care process. The majority also agreed/strongly agreed that digital solutions could make more patients adequately prepared before anaesthesia/surgery, reduce the number of non-optimized patients, and adapt the perioperative process to the patients' individual needs, as well as lead to reduced costs for the healthcare provider and reduced cancelled anaesthesia/surgeries. However, there were statistically significant differences between responses in relation to age groups, where the largest differences were observed between respondents in the age groups 20-30 and 61-70 years and in relation to what part of Sweden respondents worked in, with the largest differences between respondents working in Southern Sweden and the middle part of Sweden.
conclusionSwedish anaesthesia personnel are confident that digital solutions may enhance the efficiency of care within the anaesthesia setting. However, varying perceptions on the benefits and necessity of digital solutions are indicated.
