Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Patient's recovery at H24 as after surgery assessed by the QoR-15 (Quality of Recovery) questionnaire score
The QoR-15 score at H24 after surgery was compared between the two groups for primary endpoint analysis. The QoR-15 accurately measures postoperative recovery by focusing on 5 key domains: pain, physical comfort, physical independence, psychological support and emotional state. Each item is rated from 0 (unfavorable) to 10 (favorable), with an overall score corresponding to the sum of the score obtained for each item, i.e. a score from 0 (no recovery) to 150 (full recovery).
