Absence of Association between Preoperative Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rates and Postoperative Outcomes following Elective Gastrointestinal Surgeries: A Prospective Cohort Study.

These findings will help preassessment clinics in risk stratification and optimisation of perioperative care of patients. PMID: 29692807 [PubMed]
