Funded Activity Summary

As many as 50% of patients having surgery take medications unrelated to their surgery and up to 46% of patients have their medications stopped at surgery. Patients who take regular medications unrelated to their surgery are 2.7 times more at risk of complications post surgery than those who do not take medications. As time without regular medication increase, so do the post surgery complication rate. This project aims to improve the use of patientsÍ regular medications at the time of surgery.
