Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Evaluation of postoperative recovery in day surgery patients using a mobile phone application: a multicentre randomized trial.
Many patients undergoing anaesthesia and surgery experience postoperative complications. Our aim was to investigate whether a systematic follow-up smartphone-based assessment, using recovery assessment by phone points (RAPP) compared with standard care, had a positive effect on day surgery patients' postoperative recovery. We also investigated whether there were differences in women and men's recovery and recovery scores. ⋯ NCT02492191.
