On behalf of our research group, we respectfully submit the enclosed manuscript entitled "Efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided nerve blocks in elderly surgical patients: A meta-analysis" pursuant to publication as an article in the Journal of Frontiers in Anesthesiology-Neuroanesthesiology The enclosed manuscript presents original research that has not been previously disseminated in any form and is not currently under consideration for publication in any other journal.In this study, we systematically analyzed a large number of relevant studies on ultrasoundguided nerve blocks in elderly surgical patients. The meta -analysis not only comprehensively evaluated the efficacy in terms of pain control, anesthetic requirements, and postoperative recovery but also thoroughly investigated the safety aspects, including potential complications and adverse reactions. Given the growing elderly surgical population, the findings of this research have significant implications for optimizing anesthetic strategies in this specific patient group. We believe that the Frontiers in Anesthesiology-Neuroanesthesiology, with its focus on innovative research in the field of surgical and wound -related care, is the perfect platform to showcase these results. Our work can contribute to the journal's rich body of knowledge and potentially influence clinical practice in the management of elderly surgical patients.We express our sincere gratitude for your consideration of our manuscript and eagerly anticipate receiving the reviewers' feedback. Should you have any inquiries, please do not hesitate to contact us at the address provided below.
