Current state and future education implication of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) among Chinese anesthesiologists: national repeated cross-sectional surveys from 2019 to 2023.

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
backgroundEnhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols have been widely adopted to improve surgical outcomes. In this study, we aimed to assess the current state of awareness and specific knowledge of ERAS among Chinese anesthesiologists, examine difficulties in implementation, and identify future priorities for ERAS education and training.
methodsA self-designed, repeated national survey regarding awareness and practice of the ERAS concept, specific knowledge, learning modalities, and difficulties in ERAS implementation was conducted in 2019, 2021, and 2023. Factors related to mastery of knowledge were analyzed via subgroup analysis and multivariable linear regression.
resultsA total of 6385 participants were included; 96.2% were anesthesiologists. Approximately half of the participants reported implementing ERAS in more than 40% of patients. Compared with those in the 2019 survey, the overall proportion of participants who had heard about the concept of ERAS remained relatively stable across the three surveys (P = 0.078). However, significant improvements were observed in participants reported good understanding (defined as responding "very familiar" or "quite familiar") of ERAS and implementing rate of ERAS in clinical practice (P < 0.001). The mean score on the 15-question quiz was 8.5 ± 2.5. Significant differences in scores were observed across various geographic regions, levels of hospitals, education, professional titles, and age. Most anesthesiologists expressed a strong desire for additional education on ERAS in several ways. Feedback from the open-ended question in the survey indicated that multidisciplinary collaboration was a major challenge in implementing ERAS.
conclusionsThis nationwide study indicates a notable enhancement in the comprehension and implementation of ERAS among Chinese anesthesiologists, although there is still room for improvement. Future efforts should focus on improving education and training to enhance ERAS knowledge and practice levels among health care providers. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
