Preoperative functional and breathing tests to predict early recovery after colorectal cancer surgery

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is an observational cohort that measures patients' functional status and respiratory parameters before colorectal cancer surgery and follows them daily from the first postoperative day until discharge. Researchers will record early outcomes such as postoperative pulmonary complications, overall complication rates, length of hospital stay, and early mortality. The study excludes people with musculoskeletal or cognitive conditions that prevent completion of the tests and those with prior major surgery. It is conducted at a single center (İnönü University Turgut Özal Medical Center in Malatya, Turkey).
