Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults 18 or older scheduled for elective cardiac surgery (CABG, valve, or aortic procedures) who can understand and complete the Turkish QoR-15 questionnaire and consent.

Probably not a fit

Patients who do not experience significant postoperative recovery changes or who are unable to complete the questionnaire may not provide actionable data.

What this trial studies

This is a prospective observational cohort study enrolling about 150 adults undergoing elective cardiac surgery at Kocaeli City Hospital. The study will measure QoR-15T scores before surgery and on postoperative day 7, and compare them with the Global Recovery Visual Analog Scale to assess construct validity, reliability, and responsiveness of QoR-15T in high-risk cardiac surgery patients. The trial builds on prior validation in general surgery but targets cardiopulmonary bypass cases and ICU recovery to determine if QoR-15T is appropriate for this population.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, QoR-15T could provide a validated, patient-centered tool to monitor recovery after complex cardiac surgery in Turkish-speaking patients.

How similar studies have gone: Similar QoR-15 validations exist for general Turkish surgery; applicability to high-risk cardiac surgery is being evaluated in this study.
