Office-based surgery and patient outcomes.

Young S, Shapiro FE, Urman RD. Curr Opin Anaesthesiol. 2018;31:707-712.

This review summarizes the literature on ambulatory surgery outcomes and identified risk factors such as case complexity, patient comorbidities, and anesthesia use. Few studies examined anesthesia use in dental care.
