Use of Structured Risk Scores in Preoperative Pulmonary Assessment Among Pulmonologists and Pulmonary Medicine Residents in Türkiye: A Cross-Sectional Online Survey

Purpose

Structured risk scores are recommended to identify patients at risk of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs), yet their uptake among the specialists who deliver preoperative respiratory consultation is poorly characterised. We examined reported score use, associated factors, and the barriers reported by non-users.
