We aimed to appraise the evidence relating to the measurement properties of unidimensional tools to quantify pain after surgery. Furthermore, we wished to identify the tools used to assess interference of pain with functional recovery. ⋯ PROSPERO CRD42020213495.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Renal function during sevoflurane or total intravenous propofol anaesthesia a single-centre parallel randomised controlled study.
The choice of anaesthetic may influence regulation of renal perfusion and function. We investigated renal function in patients anaesthetised with propofol or sevoflurane before surgery and postoperatively. ⋯ EudraCT: 2017-001646-10; Clinicaltrials.gov: NCT0333680.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is frequently encountered in the perioperative period. DM may increase the risk of adverse perioperative outcomes owing to the potential vascular complications of DM. We conducted a scoping review to examine the association between DM and adverse perioperative outcomes. ⋯ Diabetes mellitus is inconsistently defined in the published literature, which limits the potential for pooled analysis. Further research is necessary to determine which cohort of patients with DM are most at risk of adverse postoperative outcomes, and how control influences this association.
