Overview
Brief 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.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Patients (19 years and older) undergoing emergency laparotomy or laparoscopy (inclusive reoperations after elective surgery).
Exclusion Criteria
- •Patients undergoing minor emergency operations (uncomplicated appendectomy, laparoscopic cholecystectomy, diagnostic laparoscopy or laparotomy without intervention)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Basic mobility evaluated by the Cumulated Ambulation Score (CAS)
Time Frame: Daily on postoperative day 1 to 7 and at discharge from the hospital (average length of stay is: 14 days).
Factors that limit independency in basic mobility will be evaluated on a daily basis.
Secondary Outcomes
- Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS)(One time at postoperative day 4.)
- Physical activity assessment with accelerometer (ActivePAL)(Daily on postoperative day 1 to 7.)
- Visual Analog Scale (VAS)(Daily on postoperative day 1 to 7 and at discharge from the hospital (average length of stay is: 14 days).)
