QoR-9 AS predicTor of postopErative Complications
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Aim of the study is to evaluate, whether the self administered quality of recovery (QoR-9) questionnaire can predict postoperative complications after non-cardiac surgery and whether preoperative risk estimates can be improved by implementation of the QoR-9 as postoperative screening tool.

Detailed Description
The QoR-9 as established patient-centred outcome measure, which is validated in German language, is surveyed preoperatively, as well as on postoperative day 1 and 3 after non-cardiac surgery. We showed in a pilot study that this score reveals a high sensitivity to detect patients with a disturbed health status through a detailed and time-consuming physical examination.We want to evaluate if short screening tools can be used to categorize patients with increased risk for developing postoperative complicationsTherefore, patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery are informed preoperatively about the study and written informed consent is obtained. Afterwards, the QoR-9, as well as validated preoperative risk scores are obtained. Relevant intra- and immediate postoperative factors are recorded. On postoperative day 1 and 3 patients perform the QoR-9. Postoperative complications during hospital stay are determined using the Clavien Dindo score by searching the patients 'record. After 6 months the patients are contacted via telephone and the QoR-9 is obtained. 6-months mortality is determined.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Postoperative Complications evaluated by Clavien- Dindo Score [Date of Surgery till Discharge from Hospital (approximately 30 days)]
Nine domains are evaluated: Pulmonary, infectious, renal, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, neurological, wound, haematological and pain. Each domain is graded between grade I and V (death of a patient).
Secondary Outcome Measures
- hospital mortality [Date of Surgery till Discharge from Hospital (approximately 30 days)]
Rate of Mortality among study patients
- 6-month mortality [6 month after date of surgery]
Mortality among patients 6 months after surgery
- Superiority of QoR-9 questionnaire against common Outcome Score [Date of surgery until 6 month follow-up]
Comparison of different risk estimates and Outcome Scores
