This thesis summarizes the research questions and possible answers based on the scientific work of the author over more than 10 years of Colombian-based research with direct support and supervision of Department of Anesthesiology of Erasmus Medical Center Rotterdam, The Netherlands. The publications presented here are clustered around 3 key-questions:
Question 1: What is the current state of Randomized Controlled Trials and Systematic Reviews on Patient Safety worldwide?
Question 2: Is there any validated approach to assess safety in perioperative care in middle-income countries like Colombia?
Question 3: Which perioperative interventions on quality and safety potentially affect patients in low- and middle-income countries?
