NCT Number: NCT07505758
Postoperative recovery in elderly patients is an important part of the surgical process and affects how patients feel after surgery. To date, recovery has been measured mostly with clinical outcomes, such as complications or length of stay, but not from the patient's perspective. The QoR-15 questionnaire was designed to assess recovery from the patient's point of view and has recently been validated in Spanish as the QoR-15E.
This study aims to evaluate postoperative recovery in patients aged 80 years and older undergoing elective surgery with hospital admission, using the QoR-15E questionnaire. Patients will complete the questionnaire before surgery and on postoperative days 1, 2, 7, and 30. Additional assessments will include frailty and delirium scales, and postoperative complications will be recorded. Mortality will be evaluated 90 days after surgery, alongside the patient's subjective perception of their recovery.

Inclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria
A first QoR-15E questionnaire will be completed at baseline (T0) (before surgery). Other QoR-15E questionnaires will be completed at 24h (T1), 48h (T2), day 7 (T3) and day 30 (T4) after surgery.
Other names: QoR-15E
The Clinical Frailty Scale will be administered before surgery to determine patients' clinical fragility
Other names: CFS
We will use the "Confusional Assessment Method" to assess the presence of confusion or delirium in the immediate postoperative period.
Other names: CAM
Postoperative morbidity will be collected through the POMS survey.
Other names: POMS
Time frame: Preoperatively and on postoperative days 1, 2, 7, and 30
The QoR-15E questionnaire evaluates patient-reported quality of recovery after surgery. It includes 15 items covering physical, emotional, and psychological recovery domains.
Time frame: Preoperatively and on postoperative days 1, 2, 7, and 30
Items of the QoR-15E questionnaire indicating difficulties in physical, emotional, or psychological recovery will be analyzed to identify problems that interfere with overall postoperative recovery.
Time frame: Preoperatively and on postoperative days 1, 2, 7, and 30
Patient-reported outcomes (QoR-15E) and clinical recovery indicators will be analyzed to identify areas for optimizing ERAS and Multimodal Rehabilitation programs in elderly patients undergoing elective surgery.
Time frame: Preoperatively and on postoperative days 1, 2, 7, and 30
QoR-15E questionnaire results will be analyzed to support postoperative clinical decision-making in elderly patients, evaluating recovery across physical, emotional, and psychological domains.
