Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that patients with pre-existing medical conditions may have a higher risk of experiencing complications after surgery?

Yes. Patients with pre-existing medical conditions and higher comorbidity scores face a significantly elevated risk of experiencing postoperative complications across various surgical procedures.

The analysis

The retrieved literature consistently supports the claim that pre-existing medical conditions (reflected via comorbidity indices like the Charlson Comorbidity Index, ASA score, or general medical history) are key predictors of postoperative complications across multiple surgical contexts (such as hepatic resection, pulmonary lobectomy, and cesarean section). Multiple studies show positive associations between pre-existing health burdens and adverse outcomes.
