What this trial studies

This observational study explores quality registry data from a national cohort of patients in Sweden who have undergone gallbladder surgery or ERCP. It aims to investigate the occurrence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and pain following these procedures. The study will analyze various patient and surgical factors to identify those associated with increased risks of PONV and pain. Data will be linked from the Swedish national registry for gallbladder surgery and the Swedish Perioperative Register, covering a significant number of surgeries performed between 2016 and 2025.
