PINEAPPLE study published in Pediatric Anesthesia
It is our pleasure to announce that the PaedIatric caNcelation ratEs And PerioPerative clinicaL Evaluation (PINEAPPLE) study has been published in the current issue of Pediatric Anaesthesia.

PINEAPPLE is a PATRN and APAGBI collaborative UK Prospective Multi‐Center Observational Cohort Study highlighting the importance of paediatric pre-operative assessment, particularly its role in the reduction of anxiety and potential for reduction in on-the-day cancelation due to intercurrent illness. We hope that this work opens conversations for the further development of paediatric pre-assessment services.
The PATRN committee would like to thank all those involved with the study and all centres that contributed to data collection. Collaboration is vital in furthering paediatric anaesthetic research and we as a committee are thankful for all the support that the study has received from its respective centres and teams.
