What this Trial Is About
This research investigates whether higher levels of self-reported physical activity before elective non-cardiac surgery are linked to a lower risk of complications and death. The study focuses on adults undergoing surgery at two hospitals and addresses how physical activity may affect short- and long-term outcomes, such as infections, heart issues, lung problems, and kidney impairment after surgery. Participants will be those scheduled for elective non-cardiac surgery, and data will be collected on their physical activity levels using the Metabolic Equivalent of Task Score (MET-score) recorded by anesthesiologists during preoperative assessments. Additional information including age, sex, body mass index, co-existing medical conditions, and physical status classification will also be gathered and analyzed. Throughout the study, researchers will track mortality at 30, 60, 90, and 365 days after surgery, as well as the number of days participants are alive and at home within 30 days (DAH30) and longer-term measures such as length of hospital stay up to one year. This observational study aims to provide insight into how pre-surgery physical activity may impact recovery and survival after surgery.
