Review Meta Analysis
Prospectively assessed neurodevelopmental outcomes in studies of anaesthetic neurotoxicity in children: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
A single pediatric general anesthetic exposure is associated with increased parental-reported behavioural changes though no difference in general intelligence.

Comparative Study Observational Study
Intelligent checklists improve checklist compliance in the intensive care unit: a prospective before-and-after mixed-method study.
We examined whether a context and process-sensitive 'intelligent' checklist increases compliance with best practice compared with a paper checklist during intensive care ward rounds. ⋯ NCT03599856.

Multicenter Study Observational Study
Ventilation and outcomes following robotic-assisted abdominal surgery: an international, multicentre observational study.
International data on the epidemiology, ventilation practice, and outcomes in patients undergoing abdominal robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) are lacking. The aim of the study was to assess the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs), and to describe ventilator management after abdominal RAS. ⋯ NCT02989415.

Comparative Study
Few and feasible preoperative variables can identify high-risk surgical patients: derivation and validation of the Ex-Care risk model.
The development of feasible preoperative risk tools is desirable, especially for low-middle income countries with limited resources and complex surgical settings. This study aimed to derive and validate a preoperative risk model (Ex-Care model) for postoperative mortality and compare its performance with current risk tools. ⋯ The Ex-Care risk model proved very efficient at identifying high-risk surgical patients. Although multicentre studies are needed, it should have particular value in low resource settings to better inform perioperative health policy and clinical decision-making.
