Abstract
We conducted a comprehensive systematic review of articles that assess the effectiveness of ACS-NSQIP, published between the program's inception in 2005 to December 2018. The review was carried out following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines.11 Moher D. Liberati A. Tetzlaff J. Altman D.G.
