Postoperative outcomes are typically measured using various clinical indicators and patient-reported outcomes. Common metrics include:
Mortality Rates: The number of deaths occurring within a specified period after surgery. Morbidity Rates: The incidence of complications such as infections, bleeding, or organ dysfunction. Length of Hospital Stay: The duration of a patient's hospitalization post-surgery. Readmission Rates: The frequency of patients being readmitted to the hospital after being discharged. Patient Satisfaction: Surveys and questionnaires assessing patients' satisfaction with their surgical outcomes and overall care.
