What this trial studies
This observational clinical trial investigates the postoperative recovery of adult patients undergoing major abdominal surgery by utilizing the Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15) questionnaire. The study aims to assess both subjective recovery quality and its correlation with objective indicators such as postoperative complications. By establishing a database of QoR-15 variations, the research seeks to enhance healthcare quality and validate outcomes related to Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) programs. The findings will contribute to improving postoperative care and inform future research in this area.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 years and older who are scheduled for elective abdominal surgery lasting at least two hours.
Not a fit: Patients who are under 18 years old, unable to provide informed consent, or undergoing emergency surgery may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved postoperative care and recovery protocols for patients undergoing major abdominal surgery.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies utilizing the QoR-15 questionnaire have shown success in evaluating postoperative recovery, indicating that this approach is validated and not entirely novel.
