Lead Sponsor
University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust
Brief Summary

The investigators would like to explore whether Hypotension Prediction Index during and immediately after surgery can be used to improve the accuracy of scores that predict postoperative problems.

Detailed Description

It is known that some patients have a prolonged and difficult recovery after major surgery, which impacts their long-term health and wellbeing. A major issue is that scores for predicting recovery are typically generated only once in the period before surgery, but subsequent events during and immediately after surgery can also alter the likelihood of a prolonged and difficult recovery.

One such event appears to be low blood pressure (hypotension). Hypotension Prediction Index can be calculated from routine blood pressure measurements, and is an indicator of blood pressure instability. The investigators propose that Hypotension Prediction Index during and immediately after surgery may be used to improve their accuracy of scores that predict postoperative problems.

To explore this, the investigators will collect information about the health and care needs, surgery and postoperative recovery of adult patients' requiring major surgery. This data will be taken from hospital information systems, a bedside monitor, test reports, a questionnaire and National Databases. The investigators will then use statistical models to determine whether Hypotension Prediction Index improves the accuracy of preoperative scores for predicting postoperative problems.

Ultimately, the investigators hope to create a tool for predicting how well a patient will recover based on the information available at any given point in time. Healthcare professionals will be able to use this tool to identify and support the needs of patients who need extra help recovering from major surgery.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Days alive and out of hospitalDay 30

Number of days that the participant is alive and out of hospital

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Total length of hospital stay30 days

Number of nights spent in hospital

Number of nights that a participant spends at homeDay 30 and 90
Hospital length of stayBetween the date of surgery and hospital discharge (primary admission)

Number of nights spent in hospital

Hospital readmission30 days

Readmission to hospital following discharge

Return to pre-surgery functioningDay 90

Participants ability to return to work or usual home activities as measured by item 8 of the Quality of Recovery - 15 score. This will be scored on a 10 point numeric scale. Higher scores represent better outcomes as reported by the patient.

ReoperationDay 30

Number of unplanned operations

MortalityDay 30 and 1 year

Number of participants who die within 30 days or 1 year of surgery

MorbidityDay 5

Whether or not a participant has morbidity as measured using the post operative morbidity survey

Quality of Recovery - 15 score (QoR-15)Day 90

A 15 question survey, where a number of different items are scored on a 10 point numeric scale. Higher scores represent better outcomes as reported by the participant

Total length of critical care stayFirst 30 days after surgery

Number of nights spent in Critical Care

ComplicationsFrom the date and time of surgery until hospital discharge

Whether or not a participant develops complications as measured using Clavien Dindo
