The cost-benefit ratio of routine pre-operative investigations is not favourable, and the traditional practice of ordering routine pre-operative tests before elective surgery is not recommended.[1,2] Evidence suggests that pre-operative tests are not associated with decreased mortality or better outcomes.[3] However, the practice of routine pre-operative tests before elective surgery has remained widely prevalent.[4,5] Health-care practices not only depend on practitioners’ knowledge but also on the local laws, protocols, administrative policies, etc. The present study was aimed to assess the reasons behind this continued practice.
