How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Minutes spent supine, sitting and standing (time frame: Before surgery: From enrollment to surgery day (minimum 48 hours) and After surgery: From 3 hours post surgery and until discharge or maximum 7 days.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
