About this trial
Over 300 million surgeries are performed globally every year. Complications after surgery - infections, cardiovascular conditions, postoperative pulmonary complications and renal impairment - affect survival and quality of life.
Age and co-morbidity are unmodifiable factors, contributing to increased risk of these perioperative complications. However, a modifiable risk factor is physical activity. This study aims to test if self reported physical activity is associated to lower risk of perioperative morbidity and mortality.

Mortality
Death within the time frames described below
Time frame
Mortality will be recorded at 30, 60, 90 and 365 days after index surgery2
DAH30 (Days At Home alive at 30 days)
DAH30: Patients who are hospitalized for 14 days postoperatively but are alive on day 30 will have DAH30=16. Patients who are hospitalized for five days, then discharged, but return after 10 days for an additional 11-day stay, will have DAH30=14. Anyone who dies within 30 days will have DAH30=0. This outcome measure is validated in several studies and has a significant advantage in that it correlates well with complications, even better than length of stay (LOS). We will further record DAH90 and DAH365, calculated as described above.
