Quality of Recovery Following Orthopedic Surgery in Patients at an Academic Hospital in South Africa.
Abstract
Measurement of perioperative quality of recovery (QoR) is an important tool in improving the patient's perioperative experience. By making use of the Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15) questionnaire, this study aimed to measure the QoR on day 1 in patients following elective and semiurgent orthopedic surgery at an academic hospital. A secondary aim was to determine factors that may influence the QoR.
