Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Association study: genetic and non-genetic variables associated with No PONV, Intermediate PONV and Severe PONV

    PONV composite outcome measured by episodes of vomiting and nausea + need for antiemetic treatment + results of a patient reported outcome questionnaire. Patients with no PONV are compared to those with intermediate and severe PONV. Bariatric patients will not be included in this analysis.

    perioperative period up to 48 hours after surgery

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Sex specific association analysis: Severity of PONV associated with genetic and non-genetic variables in males and females

    perioperative period up to 48 hours after surgery

  • Association study in patients undergoing bariatric surgery: genetic and non-genetic variables associated with No PONV, Intermediate PONV and Severe PONV

    perioperative period up to 48 hours after surgery

Study Arms (1)

All patients

Patients undergoing general anesthesia for elective surgery
