Summary

This completed study looked at 408 patients whose elective surgeries were cancelled on the scheduled day. Researchers analyzed the reasons for cancellation, such as patient issues, hospital problems, or surgical team factors. They also measured patient anxiety after cancellation and estimated the extra costs to the hospital. The goal is to find ways to reduce these cancellations and improve planning.

What this could lead to
If successful, this study could help hospitals reduce last-minute surgery cancellations, saving money and reducing patient stress.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It only looks at past data and cannot prove what causes cancellations or how to fix them.
