Quality of Recovery From Obstetric Anaesthesia - a Multicentre Study

United Kingdom1,638 participantsStarted 2021-10-11

Plain-language summary

Quality of recovery is an important outcome measure in anaesthesia, whilst there are validated tools for this in surgery and regional anesthesia there are no fully validated tools for obstetrics anaesthesia. The aim of this study is to use the Obstetric Quality of Recovery (ObsQoR) score across multiple centres to assess correlation to length of stay and variation for different types of operative and non- operative delivery.

Inclusion Criteria: * Obstetric patients over 18 years old. * Intervention occurring after 32/40 gestation. * All mothers receiving anaesthesia or anaesthetic analgesia during their peripartum period. Exclusion Criteria: * Unable to comprehend the questions asked * Patient refusal * Under 32/40 weeks gestation * Cervical cerclage insertion or removal, anaesthesia for External Cephalic Verison * Neonatal death * Non- NHS patients

What they're measuring

• Correlation of ObsQoR with length of hospital stay (LOS) in hours following delivery across multiple centres, particularly ObsQoR score and prediction of prolonged LOS (>1.5 SD) and readmission to hospital.

Timeframe: Up to 3 months

• The relationship between ObsQoR and patient-reported ready for discharge. This will concurrently be determined to account for institutional, non-medical maternal factors neonatal factors that may delay discharge and impact LOS.

Timeframe: up to 3 months
