What this trial studies

This observational study aims to investigate the relationship between genetic variants and perioperative outcomes in patients undergoing elective surgery. It will analyze various factors, including patient demographics, surgical details, and genetic backgrounds, to identify those at risk for complications such as postoperative nausea, vomiting, and pain. The study will involve two independent patient cohorts to ensure robust data collection and analysis of intraoperative and postoperative complications.
