Postoperative inpatient course
COMPLICATIONS
Demand and duration of treatment on an intensive/intermediate care unit (ICU/IMC) as well as total duration of inpatient stay were recorded to reflect the impact of surgical intervention to postoperative outcome. Complications occurring during this phase were also recorded. The accommodation status following hospitalisation and the mobility level at the time of discharge was recorded to assess the treatment-related impairment of patient’s independency.
