What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Surgical Start TimeProcedure or surgery

    This intervention focuses on the retrospective analysis of the association between surgical start times (morning, afternoon, and nighttime) and postoperative outcomes in non-cardiac surgeries. The study evaluates how the timing of surgery impacts mortality, complications, transfusion rates, and ICU admissions in a tertiary hospital setting

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. 30-Day Postoperative Mortality

    "The primary outcome measure is the incidence of 30-day postoperative mortality in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgeries. Mortality is defined as death occurring within 30 days following the surgery. The study aims to evaluate the association between surgical start times (morning, afternoon, and nighttime) and the risk of mortality

    Measured: 30 days post-surgery
