Full description

Recovery from surgery is a complex process that can vary depending on the patient and the anesthesia used. Most clinical studies are interested in reducing perioperative morbidity and mortality, but few evaluate the overall recovery process. The QoR-15 questionnaire assess recovery after elective surgery. A Turkish translation of the QoR-15 score has been validated for use in scheduled surgery. This scale, regardless of the language in which it is translated, has been developed and validated in patients who have undergone scheduled surgery. Until now, no validated scoring tool has been available to assess recovery after emergency laparotomy.
