Chatbot on the Prevention of Postoperative Complications
Major visceral surgery encompasses a broad range of operations with a wide variety of procedures that fall under this category. The majority of patients undergoing major visceral surgery often present with cancer and other medical comorbidities and are put at an elevated risk of a large number of medical and surgical postoperative complications

About this study
Complications following major visceral surgery are relatively common and are estimated to occur in 18-23% of patients . The management of complications is challenging for both the elderly patient and the perioperative team, and adds considerably to the cost of care particularly when further interventions involve readmission, unplanned admission to an intensive care unit, interventional radiology and/or an unplanned return to theatre. With the advancement of online patient portals, the use of internet to seek for health information is already a common phenomenon; Chatbot may become a more significant source of information for patients.

Treatment and study plan
Primary outcomes
-
postoperative morbidity
Time frame: patient will be evaluated at three time points: 24 hour postoperative; 48 hours postoperative , and 30 days postoperative.
using the postoperative morbidity survey , Patients are assessed for diagnostic features in nine domains (pulmonary, infectious, renal, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, neurological, haematological, wound and pain). For each of the nine domains morbidity is recorded on the presence or absence of preset criteria and it appears to accurately describe the pattern and prevalence of morbidity in the postoperative setting.

Secondary outcomes
-
Geriatric anxiety
Time frame: will be measured at three time points: 90 to 120 minutes before the preoperative consultation (baseline ); after 7 days postoperative, and after 30 days postoperative
questionnaire comprising 30 items, called the GAS was created to evaluate, screen for, and quantify the intensity of anxiety symptoms in older persons

quality of life
Time frame: will be measured at two time points : at baseline (preoperative ) and after 30 days postoperative
