| Abstract |
The ASA classification is an assessment of the patient’s preoperative physical status. On its own, the ASA classification of physical status is not a predictor of operative risk. Operative risk is a combination of: the physical status of the patient; the physiological derangement that the procedure will cause; the skill and experience of the operator; the skill and experience of the anaesthetist (including the choice of anaesthetic); and the physiological support service in the peri-operative period (including pre-operative optimisation and critical care). A patient for an elective procedure with an ASA grade of 3 or 4 needs a consultation with a senior anaesthetist as far before the proposed surgery as is possible. This will enable the patient’s physical condition to be optimised with better post-operative outcome and will reduce the chance of ‘on the day’ cancellation due to being medically unfit. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 20 December 2023.
All research outputs
#6,226,089
of 24,719,968 outputs
Outputs from Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England
#283
of 1,579 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#33,113
of 113,744 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England
#6
of 26 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,719,968 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 74th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,579 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.2. This one has done well, scoring higher than 82% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 113,744 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 70% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 26 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 80% of its contemporaries.
