Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
30-Day Postoperative Mortality
Time Frame: 30 days post-surgery
"The primary outcome measure is the incidence of 30-day postoperative mortality in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgeries. Mortality is defined as death occurring within 30 days following the surgery. The study aims to evaluate the association between surgical start times (morning, afternoon, and nighttime) and the risk of mortality
