The validated Quality of Recovery (QoR) score measures patient experience after anesthesia and surgery. Higher QoR scores correlate with better outcomes and patient satisfaction, indicating its value in assessing anesthetic care quality.

Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology
  • Patient Outcomes
  • Surgical Care

Background:

  • Quality of recovery (QoR) is crucial for patient experience post-anesthesia and surgery.
  • Patient satisfaction is closely linked to the quality of recovery.
  • Assessing QoR is vital for evaluating anesthesia care effectiveness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a Quality of Recovery (QoR) score.
  • To assess factors influencing QoR in surgical patients.
  • To determine the relationship between QoR, adverse events, and patient satisfaction.

Main Methods:

  • Adult patients undergoing elective/emergency surgery were interviewed post-operatively.
  • Data collected included adverse events, pain, satisfaction, and QoR Score.

  • Over 10,000 patient cases were analyzed.

    • Main Results:

    • Higher QoR Scores were observed in day surgery patients compared to minor and major surgery.
    • Pre-existing conditions and postoperative complications were associated with lower QoR Scores.
    • Patient satisfaction demonstrated a positive association with higher QoR Scores.

    Conclusions:

    • The validated QoR score effectively measures patient recovery quality.
    • Incorporating the QoR Score into routine practice can enhance patient care and satisfaction.
    • QoR Score is an important metric for quality anesthetic practice.
