Clinical Trial Summary

Emergency abdominal surgery is associated with high mortality rates, multiple postoperative complications and prolonged duration of hospital admission. The purpose of this study is to examine the postoperative functional performance in patients undergoing Emergency High-risk Abdominal Surgery. The hypothesis is that the study can describe the patient population in relation to postoperative functioning, degree of inactivity and the factors that limit mobility.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Other New Mobility Score (NMS) NMS is a measure of pre-hospital functional level. At inclusion/baseline No
Primary Basic mobility evaluated by the Cumulated Ambulation Score (CAS) Factors that limit independency in basic mobility will be evaluated on a daily basis. Daily on postoperative day 1 to 7 and at discharge from the hospital (average length of stay is: 14 days). No
Secondary Physical activity assessment with accelerometer (ActivePAL) Daily on postoperative day 1 to 7. No
Secondary Visual Analog Scale (VAS) VAS is a self-reported measure of pain intensity. Daily on postoperative day 1 to 7 and at discharge from the hospital (average length of stay is: 14 days). No
Secondary Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS) AMPS measures a person's performance capacity for activities of daily living (ADL) and/or independent living. One time at postoperative day 4. No
