Postoperative Recovery in Elderly Patients Assessed With QoR-15E
Sponsor: Hospital Universitari Vall d'Hebron Research Institute
Summary
Postoperative recovery in elderly patients is an important part of the surgical process and affects how patients feel after surgery. To date, recovery has been measured mostly with clinical outcomes, such as complications or length of stay, but not from the patient's perspective. The QoR-15 questionnaire was designed to assess recovery from the patient's point of view and has recently been validated in Spanish as the QoR-15E. This study aims to evaluate postoperative recovery in patients aged 80 years and older undergoing elective surgery with hospital admission, using the QoR-15E questionnaire. Patients will complete the questionnaire before surgery and on postoperative days 1, 2, 7, and 30. Additional assessments will include frailty and delirium scales, and postoperative complications will be recorded. Mortality will be evaluated 90 days after surgery, alongside the patient's subjective perception of their recovery.

Conditions
Interventions
QoR-15E questionnaire.
A first QoR-15E questionnaire will be completed at baseline (T0) (before surgery). Other QoR-15E questionnaires will be completed at 24h (T1), 48h (T2), day 7 (T3) and day 30 (T4) after surgery.
Clinical Frailty Scale
The Clinical Frailty Scale will be administered before surgery to determine patients' clinical fragility
Confusional Assessment Method
We will use the "Confusional Assessment Method" to assess the presence of confusion or delirium in the immediate postoperative period.
Post-Operative Morbidity Survey
Postoperative morbidity will be collected through the POMS survey.
