Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The correlation between oral moisture level measured using an oral moisture-checking device and thirst intensity assessed by the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) before the water intake test. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Change in NRS thirst scores at each time point (preoperative, postoperative, pre-oral intake). 2. Change in oral moisture values at each time point. 3. Correlation between oral moisture level and NRS score at the preoperative and postoperative time points. 4. Association of background factors (age, sex, surgery duration, anesthesia type) with thirst and moisture values. | — |
