[Interdisciplinary computerized evaluation of perioperative risk factors].

The identification and assessment of perioperative risk factors combined with interdisciplinary management may lead to minimized risk for the patient. The numerous medical and administrative data should be collected by a computer. This was done in a preliminary study at the university of Bonn, where 9772 anaesthesias given for general surgery were evaluated. The necessary outcome studies should be based on statistical evaluation of the data (factor analysis) and their interpretation should be an interdisciplinary concern.
