About this study
Official title: Quality of Recovery in the Post-anesthesia Care Unit - Minimal Clinically Important Difference and Correlation with Postoperative Quality of Recovery One Day After Non-cardiac Surgery
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.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| 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 |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Minimal clinically important difference of QoR-PACU2
The minimal difference in the QoR-PACU2 scores that is relevant for the patient
Measured: 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
Measured: from the day of surgery to the first postoperative day

What does the primary outcome measure?
Minimal clinically important difference of QoR-PACU2 (time frame: From preoperative assessment to the day of surgery in the post-anesthesia care unit). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
