Perioperative Predictive Value of Physical Activity on Short- and Long-term Morbidity and Mortality
Recruiting now
Conditions studied: Anesthesia, Surgery, Surgery Complications
In brief
Over 300 million surgeries are performed globally every year. Complications after surgery - infections, cardiovascular conditions, postoperative pulmonary complications and renal impairment - affect survival and quality of life. Age and co-morbidity are unmodifiable factors, contributing to increased risk of these perioperative complications. However, a modifiable risk factor is physical activity. This study aims to test if self reported physical activity has added predicted value, beyond established risk factors, for predicting perioperative morbidity and mortality.
