Summary

This study looks at whether having a team of doctors and specialists meet before surgery can reduce serious complications for high-risk patients. About 1200 adults who are frail or have significant health issues and need noncardiac surgery will take part. The team discusses each patient's case to plan the best care, and researchers compare their outcomes to those who received usual care.
