PREdS - Peri-operative Replacement of Exogenous Steroids

STAR - Severn Trainee Anaesthetic Research

Chief Investigator: Dr Ben Gibson - University of Bristol

PREdS was a prospective, multicentre study assessing the number of patients presenting for elective, urgent or emergency procedures who were taking long-term oral steroids, and to determine how perioperative steroid replacement is currently being managed. 

Data collection included all patients aged 18 and above, having procedures that required input of an anaesthetist (general, regional or sedation with monitoring) across all medical and surgical specialties. 

Data collection took place over a consecutive 14 day period within the study window of 26th September - 4th December 2022. 

Data collection has finished and we are eagerly awaiting publication!
