Physical activity before surgery and recovery
This study looks at how your physical activity before surgery affects your recovery and long-term health. Researchers will track activity levels to see if they predict complications or survival after your operation. This could help tailor care to each patient.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled for a planned (non-emergency) operation that is not a heart surgery.
