Spinal versus general anesthesia for recovery after total knee replacement

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 a retrospective observational comparison of postoperative recovery after total knee replacement using the QoR-15F recovery score. It includes adults (≥18 years) who underwent primary TKR at CHU de Strasbourg between January 1, 2020 and June 30, 2023 and had QoR-15F recorded. Patients who had revision, emergency, bilateral, oncological, or septic procedures, or who objected to reuse of their data, are excluded. The primary analysis compares QoR-15F scores between spinal anesthesia and general anesthesia groups.
