Early PONV: Registry Insights from Swedish Perioperative Data

Official title: Risk of Early Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting (PONV) - a Study With Data From the Swedish Perioperative Register (SPOR).

Run by Västernorrland County Council, Sweden · NCT04433676 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study uses Swedish registry data to see how often nausea and vomiting happen soon after surgery and what factors are linked to it in adults after different procedures.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (18 years or older) who underwent surgery under general or regional anesthesia and have PONV data available in SPOR.

Probably not a fit

Patients without complete PONV data in SPOR or those not represented in the registry may not benefit from the insights.

What this trial studies

This observational study analyzes data from the Swedish Perioperative Registry (SPOR) from 2016 to 2022 to estimate the risk of early postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) at the recovery unit. It compares cohorts defined by procedure type or time period and identifies factors associated with early PONV. Data are extracted yearly from SPOR, with hospitals able to contribute additional PONV data if they record it, facilitating national-level risk description. No experimental intervention is performed; the aim is descriptive risk characterization and identification of potential predictors. The project leverages a large, real-world surgical dataset to inform future prevention efforts.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: Understanding the risk and factors for early PONV could inform improved prevention and management strategies in the recovery unit.

How similar studies have gone: Previous registries and observational analyses have successfully characterized PONV risk patterns in surgical populations using large national datasets.
