Summary

This study tests a hospital program to stop using NSAIDs and metamizole (common painkillers) in people with advanced chronic liver disease who need major surgery. These drugs are risky for these patients because they can cause kidney damage, fluid buildup, and bleeding. The program involves 84 adults and tracks how often these drugs are prescribed and whether complications like kidney injury or bleeding occur.
