Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Quality of Recovery-40 questionnaire total score

    Total scores of the Quality of Recovery-40 scale will be obtained 24 hours after surgery. Quality of Recovery-40 scale is a validated post-operative recovery questionnaire that consists of 40 questions, and 5 sub-components for pain (7), physical comfort (12), physical independence (5), emotional state (9), and psychological support (7). Positive items are scored from 1 (worst) to 5 (best); scores are reversed for negative items. Each item is scored ranging from 1 to 5. Total questionnaire score is calculated by sum of all items, and also sub-components by the sum of corresponding items. The total score ranges from 40 to 200.

    24 hours after surgery
