This paper reviews the field of outcomes measurement in anesthesia and surgery, emphasizing those outcomes that may be influenced by perioperative care. Data sources for outcomes measurement are described, and the concept of risk adjustment is introduced. The basic mechanics of outcomes measurement and its pitfalls are explained. Finally, specific perioperative outcomes - mortality, readmission and composite outcomes - are described and their limitations are considered.
