Abstract
Despite recent high-quality international studies, the optimal sum and sequence of subjective and objective assessments that build the complex picture of fitness for surgery remains to be defined. Physicians' subjective assessment of patient fitness after a typical unstructured interview has poor prognostic accuracy in predicting the risk of major cardiovascular events after noncardiac surgery. How does self-reported fitness assessed by structured questionnaire compare as an indicator of perioperative cardiovascular risk? Here we discuss the latest evidence in this evolving and fundamental aspect of perioperative care.
