ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryPostoperative mortality rateup to 12 monththe 12-month all-cause mortality
SecondaryThe incidence of postoperative deliriumDuring hospitalization (up to 1 month)
the incidence of postoperative delirium (3D-CAM scale).Delirium was defined as acute, transient, fluctuating, and usually reversible disturbances in attention, cognition, or attention level. It was assessed every 12 hours by trained nurses using the confusion assessment method (CAM).
SecondaryThe incidence of postoperative anxietyAnxiety within 7 days of surgery
The GAD-7 is a seven-item questionnaire for screening on the presence of generalized anxiety disorder and assessing its severity. Items were scored on a four-point scale with total scores ranging from zero to twenty-one. Scores were defined as: ≥5 mild, ≥10 moderate, and ≥15 severe anxiety. The recommended screening cutoff was ≥10, corresponding with at least a moderate level of anxiety. Higher scores mean more anxiety.
SecondaryThe incidence of postoperative depressionDepression within 7 days of surgery
Primary outcomes were depression Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9).The PHQ-9 is a nine-item questionnaire for screening on the presence of depressive symptoms and monitoring depression severity. Items were scored on a four-point scale with total scores ranging from zero to twenty-seven. Scores were defined as: ≥5 mild, ≥10 moderate, and ≥15 severe level of depression. The recommended screening cutoff was ≥10, corresponding with at least a moderate level of depression. The higher the score, the worse the situation. The total score ranges from 0 to 27, and higher scores indicate more depressive symptoms.
SecondaryPostoperative sleep disorderswithin 6 months after surgeryThe Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) sleep-related data and the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) were used to evaluate the postoperative sleep abnormalities of the patients.
SecondarySurgical related complicationswithin 12 months after surgerySurgery-related complications include cardiovascular, respiratory, pulmonary, digestive, urinary, neurological, infection, pain, and bleeding from the surgery.
SecondaryPostoperative quality of life evaluationwithin 12 months after surgery
Five-dimensional health scale EQ-5D, the five-dimensional health scale consists of 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, activities of daily living, pain or discomfort, anxiety or depression. Each dimension contains three levels: no difficulty, some difficulty, and extreme difficulty. Through the conversion of effect size, the respondents can make choices at the five dimensions and three levels in the questionnaire, and calculate the score of the five-dimensional health scale index.
