Why the study?
Does early postoperative mobilisation reduce postoperative complications in patients after colorectal surgery?
Does early postoperative mobilisation reduce postoperative complications in patients after colorectal surgery?
Delayed postoperative mobilisation after colorectal surgery is common and associated with increased postoperative complications, highlighting the need to address risk factors like fluid overload.
Supports addressing risk factors for delayed mobilisation after colorectal surgery; hypothesis-generating for causal reduction in complications.
More than half of patients did not mobilise as recommended by ERAS guidelines. Emergency surgery, advanced age and fluid overload were independent risk factors for delayed mobilisation, which was associated with increased postoperative complications.
