Review Meta Analysis Comparative Study
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors as adjuncts for postoperative pain management: systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials.
Postoperative adjunct use of serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) shows a small beneficial effect to reduce acute & chronic post-operative pain and opioid consumption.

Review Meta Analysis
Targeted temperature management in cardiac surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis on postoperative cognitive outcomes.
Postoperative cognitive decline occurs commonly after cardiac surgery. The available literature is inconclusive on the role of intraoperative causal or protective factors. ⋯ CRD42019140844.

Outcome selection underpins clinical trial interpretation. Inconsistency in outcome selection and reporting hinders comparison of different trials' results, reducing the utility of research findings. ⋯ This core set, incorporating important outcomes for both clinicians and patients, should guide outcome selection in future perioperative medicine or anaesthesia trials. Mapping these alongside standardised endpoint definitions will yield a comprehensive perioperative outcome framework.
