The 28 day outcome of patients is followed up with a second data entry form which includes health-economical aspects. Reported are complications, duration of intensive care unit and hospital stay, as well as remaining health damages at the time of discharge. To estimate the significance of PORC, data of patients with PORC is compared to data of patients without PORC. These patients are recruited during the first data collection period in the post-anesthesia care unit. The control for any patient with PORC is the next one arriving in the post-anesthesia care unit without PORC.
