This study reviewed the evidence on the risks of surgical complications in patients with metabolic syndrome (mets) compared to those without mets. The meta-analysis included 63 studies with 1,919,347 patients with mets and 11,248,114 patients without mets. The results revealed that individuals with mets had a higher risk of mortality, surgical site infection, cardiovascular complications, increased hospital stay, and hospital readmission. Despite these risks, there is a lack of evidence on interventions to reduce surgical complications in patients with mets.
