What factors affect the quality of recovery from general anesthesia in patients undergoing gynecologic surgery?
What factors affect the quality of recovery from general anesthesia in patients undergoing gynecologic surgery?
In gynecological patients, laparoscopic surgery and older age (over 40) are associated with a better self-reported quality of recovery after general anesthesia.
Laparoscopic gynecologic surgery and age over 40 were associated with better recovery; leaves open causality and requires prospective validation.
Background: Quality of recovery, assessed by patients, is related to patients' satisfaction, and even to quality of life. Of numerous patient-based measures to evaluate the quality of recovery, a '40-item-quality of recovery (QoR-40)' has proved to be valid and reliable. Using this questionnaire, we evaluated the quality of recovery in the gynecological patients and tried to identify factors affecting the quality of recovery.
