The program should maintain quality of care. Patients classified according to the American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) physical status classification system as ASA I and II should be included regardless of age. Patients who are judged ASA III should be selected only after taking into account the extent and type of comorbidity.

HbA1c was measured pre-operatively and patients are categorised as per Table 1. The site of cancer, post-operative stage (1–4), histology and grade (1–4) were collected for each patient. As well as HbA1c, the pre-operative data collected included previous treatment and other previous or current cancer diagnosis. Also, the American Society of Anaesthesiologists (ASA) physical status classification system was used to grade each patient (1–6). The ASA classification was used to score patient health and severity of disease to reflect health level before surgery.

The majority of patients (37/46, 80%) had limited co-morbidities and were considered to be classified as ASA 2, according to the American Society of Anaesthesiologists (ASA) physical status classification system; some were classified as ASA 1 (n = 7), and only 2 were ASA 3.

The outcome was time to death up to 4 months from the date of surgery. The date of death was obtained from Statistics Sweden (Ludvigsson et al. 2016). Comorbidity was measured through ASA physical status classification system (Dripps 1963). In our material, ASA classification was assessed preoperatively by local anesthesiologists as part of standard preoperative practice, and registered in RIKSHÖFT.
