| Summary | 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. |
| Who can participate | Inclusion Criteria: * Adult patients (equal to or over 18 years) undergoing elective non-cardiac surgery at the two study sites, Karolinska University Hospital Solna and Karolinska University Hospital Huddinge Exclusion Criteria: * Patients under the age of 18, transplant, day surgery, acute surgery, anesthesia monitoring, brachy therapy and gamma knife interventions. In case of multiple surgeries, only the first will be included. |
