Brief Summary

This prospective observational study aims to identify the minimal clinically important difference of the QoR-PACU2 questionnaire. In addition, this study aims to assess the correlation between self-reported quality of postoperative recovery early after surgery in the post-anesthesia care unit and postoperative recovery on the first day after surgery.

Conditions

Postoperative Quality of Recovery; Postoperative Quality of Recovery in the Postanesthesia Care Unit

Keywords

postoperative care; patient-reported outcome

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Minimal clinically important difference of QoR-PACU2

  The minimal difference in the QoR-PACU2 scores that is relevant for the patient

  From preoperative assessment to the day of surgery in the post-anesthesia care unit

• correlation between quality of recovery at two time points of assessment

  The correlation between quality of recovery in the post-anesthesia care unit and quality of recovery on postoperative day one

  from the day of surgery to the first postoperative day

Study Arms (2)

MCID

patients that will answer the QoR-PACU2 twice with anchor questions to identify the minimal clinically important difference

correlation

patients that will additionally answer the QoR-15GE before surgery and on postoperative day one
