About

Emergency abdominal surgery is associated with high mortality rates, multiple postoperative complications and prolonged duration of hospital admission. The purpose of this study is to examine the postoperative functional performance in patients undergoing Emergency High-risk Abdominal Surgery. The hypothesis is that the study can describe the patient population in relation to postoperative functioning, degree of inactivity and the factors that limit mobility.
