The Value of History and Physical Examination to Optimize Outcomes of Cataract Surgery: A Systematic Review.
AANA Journal 2023 December
This systematic review was conducted to examine the value of the preoperative history and physical (H&P) examination and preoperative care prior to cataract extraction and the resulting outcomes of adverse events, patient experience, and cost. Four databases were searched using appropriate keywords from 2012 to 2022. Observational studies, randomized controlled trials, and quality improvement studies with data on the precataract H&P were included. Outcome measures were adverse events, cost, and patient experience. Of the 4,170 studies screened, 12 studies were included. Risk stratification of patients into a high-risk group with an H&P and a low-risk group without an H&P resulted in an increased incidence of minor adverse events in the low-risk group but did not increase the incidence of major adverse events or surgical adverse events. A short-term cost savings was reported, and patient experience was unchanged. In 2020, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services removed the requirement for the precataract H&P within 30 days prior to ambulatory surgery, which has implications for surgery center policy. More research on the role of the preoperative H&P on patient experience, adverse events, cost, and outcomes should be conducted, given the methodological heterogeneity of this review.
