Assessing How Existing Diseases Affect the Risk of Complications After Abdominal Surgery in Adults

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are investigating how other existing health conditions affect the risk of complications after abdominal surgery. This observational study aims to understand the frequency and types of additional diseases among surgical patients and identify key factors that predict postoperative problems. The goal is to help better assess and manage risks for patients undergoing planned abdominal operations. The study collects information about patients age, gender, physical status by the ASA scale, presence of various diseases such as heart, lung, kidney, neurological, and metabolic conditions, and treatments they receive. It also records details about the type and severity of surgery, anesthesia methods, and uses various assessment scales related to cognition, respiratory and cardiovascular risk, liver and kidney function. Data is gathered before surgery and patients are monitored until hospital discharge. Participants provide informed consent and their data is entered into a secure database. Researchers evaluate factors influencing complications within 7 days after surgery, as well as mortality within 30 days. Statistical analysis includes regression models to identify independent risk predictors. The study involves multiple centers and follows patients throughout the hospital stay, aiming to improve understanding of postoperative risks and guide preventive strategies.
