Evaluation Of The Relationship Between Preoperative Anxiety Level And Complete Blood Count Parameters And American Society Of Anesthesiologists Score

Abstract

Abstract Aim: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between preoperative anxiety levels and ASA scores and complete blood count parameters. Methods: This clinical study included adult patients aged 18–70 scheduled for elective surgery. Demographic data, clinical characteristics, planned procedure duration, and ASA classification were recorded. Preoperative anxiety levels were assessed in the preoperative waiting area using a standardized anxiety scale. Hematological parameters were obtained from hospital records. Appropriate statistical tests were used based on data distribution. Results: A total of 118 patients were enrolled. Patients with higher anxiety levels had significantly longer planned procedure durations and lower ASA scores. (p<0.05, for both) Postoperative recovery time was also prolonged in patients with elevated anxiety. (p<0.05) Among hematological parameters, only white blood cell values differed significantly between anxiety groups (p<0.05), while other parameters showed no meaningful differences. Conclusions: Preoperative anxiety was associated with ASA classification, anticipated surgical duration, and recovery time. Proper evaluation and management of anxiety may contribute to a safer and more predictable surgical process. Keywords: preoperative anxiety, surgery, ASA score, blood parameters, recovery time
