A visit to preanesthesia clinic can promote post-anesthesia early recovery in pediatric patients undergoing minor surgery: a retrospective study from a single center.

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 preanesthesia clinic has been established for decades, with numerous studies confirming its advantages. However, in certain countries or regions, preanesthesia clinic services have yet to be implemented or have encountered resistance during their development. Moreover, there is little literature addressing whether preanesthesia clinic benefits healthy patients undergoing minor surgical procedures. Therefore, this study was conducted to explore whether the preanesthesia assessment model influences short-term post-anesthesia recovery, aiming to uncover additional benefits of preanesthesia clinic.
methodsPediatric patients aged 1 to 18 years underwent elective adenoidectomy or adenotonsillectomy under general anesthesia were included, who were divided into the two groups according to different models of preoperative anesthesia evaluation. The primary outcomes were the extubation time and the length of postanesthetic care unit stay. The secondary outcomes were the length of hospital stay, the medical costs, and postoperative complications.
resultsTotal 1553 eligible pediatric patients were enrolled, 492 finished preoperative evaluation in preanesthesia clinic, another 1061 in wards. Compared with the model of preoperative anesthesia evaluation in ward, the length of postanesthetic care unit stay, the examination costs, the costs of laboratory test, and the total medical costs were significantly lower in the preanesthesia clinic group.
conclusionsPreanesthesia clinic can significantly shorten the post-anesthesia recovery time for healthy children undergoing minor surgeries and can reduce overall medical costs.
