QoR-9 AS predicTor of postopErative Complications

August 24, 2021 updated by: Technical University of Munich
Aim of the study is to evaluate, whether the self administered quality of recovery (QoR-9) questionnaire can predict postoperative complications after non-cardiac surgery and whether preoperative risk estimates can be improved by implementation of the QoR-9 as postoperative screening tool.

Detailed Description

The QoR-9 as established patient-centred outcome measure, which is validated in German language, is surveyed preoperatively, as well as on postoperative day 1 and 3 after non-cardiac surgery. We showed in a pilot study that this score reveals a high sensitivity to detect patients with a disturbed health status through a detailed and time-consuming physical examination.We want to evaluate if short screening tools can be used to categorize patients with increased risk for developing postoperative complicationsTherefore, patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery are informed preoperatively about the study and written informed consent is obtained. Afterwards, the QoR-9, as well as validated preoperative risk scores are obtained. Relevant intra- and immediate postoperative factors are recorded. On postoperative day 1 and 3 patients perform the QoR-9. Postoperative complications during hospital stay are determined using the Clavien Dindo score by searching the patients 'record. After 6 months the patients are contacted via telephone and the QoR-9 is obtained. 6-months mortality is determined.
