More than just morbidity and mortality – quality of recovery and long‐term functional recovery after surgery
Why the study?
Traditional surgical outcome measures focus on complications, length of stay, and survival, but there needs to be greater emphasis on patient-reported outcome measures to better define postoperative recovery.
