Brief Summary

The group that received vitamin C exhibited a significantly lower incidence of moderate or greater CRBD immediately postoperatively compared with the control group (17 [28.8%] vs. 40 [67.8%], p < 0.001, relative risk [95% confidence interval] = 0.426 [0.274–0.656]). The vitamin C group also showed a significantly lower incidence of moderate or greater CRBD at 1 and 2 h postoperatively compared with the control group (10 [16.9%] vs. 25 [42.4%], p = 0.003; and 5 [8.5%] vs. 16 [27.1%], p = 0.008, respectively). However, there was no significant difference in the incidence of moderate or greater CRBD 6 h postoperatively. Patient satisfaction scores were significantly higher in the vitamin C group than in the control group (5.0 ± 1.3 vs. 4.4 ± 1.4, p = 0.009).
