Key result
Patient and surgical factors, including age, gender, and duration of surgery, were significantly associated with postoperative quality of recovery, with 36% of patients reporting good recovery.
Why the study?
Recovery after surgery and anaesthesia is a complex process influenced by many factors, prompting an assessment of predictive factors affecting postoperative quality of recovery.
Cross-Sectional (n=100)

Postoperative quality of recovery is significantly influenced by patient age, gender, type and duration of surgery, and comorbidities.
Suboptimal recovery predominates after surgery and links to patient and procedural factors; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
BACKGROUND: Quality of recovery (QoR) after surgery is an important measure of the early postoperative health status of patients. The recovery phases after surgery can be categorized as early, intermediate and late. The early postoperative recovery phase has been dened as the rst 24 h or the rst seven days. Recovery after surgery and anaesthesia is a complex process that could be inuenced by many factors that effect on its quality. OBJECTIVES: This study aims to assess the predictive factors affecting postoperative quality of recovery for patients undergoing surgery through assessment of the postoperative quality of recovery in patients undergoing surgery and also predictive factors affecting the same. MATERIAL AND METHODS: It was a cross-sectional descriptive research done between July 2020 to December 2020 at Hind Institute of Medical Sciences. Purposive samples of 100 patients who were admitted to the previously mentioned settings and fullled the inclusion criteria were included in the study. Quality of Recovery Score Questionnaire (QoR-40) translated into Hindi language and then back translated by the researchers in order to assess postoperative health status of the patient. RESULTS: The results showed that 36% of patients had good total quality of recovery, 19% had excellent recovery, 39% had acceptable quality of recovery, while 6% only had poor quality of recovery. There were highly statistically signicant differences between total quality of recovery and age, gender, type and duration of surgery and presence of other diseases. CONCLUSION: It was concluded that there are several factors affecting the postoperative quality of recovery for patients undergoing surgery such as patient's gender, age, type of surgery, duration of surgery, presence of other diseases, as well as pain control.

Sinha et al. (2021) conducted a cross-sectional in patients undergoing surgery (n=100). Patient and surgical factors (age, gender, type and duration of surgery, comorbidities) was evaluated on Postoperative quality of recovery (QoR-40). Patient and surgical factors, including age, gender, and duration of surgery, were significantly associated with postoperative quality of recovery, with 36% of patients reporting good recovery.
