Patients Undergoing Major Abdominal Surgery
Conditions
Brief summary
Investigation of post-operative recovery among adult patients receiving major abdominal surgery.
Detailed description
This prospective observational clinical trial aims to evaluate the postoperative recovery status of patients undergoing major abdominal surgery using the Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15) questionnaire. The QoR-15 has been highly regarded for its importance and research value in evaluating postoperative recovery in previous studies and has been validated in numerous languages, including Mandarin. Furthermore, the QoR-15 is not only a reflection of the subjective recovery quality but has also been found to be associated with objective indicators such as postoperative complications. Therefore, establishing a database of postoperative QoR-15 variations can play a significant role in improving healthcare quality and serves as a validation indicator for many Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) outcomes. The study aims to contribute to improving postoperative care and inform future research in the context of ERAS programs..
