Patient-Centred Outcomes and Resource Utilisation After Noncardiac Surgery-D(Eutschland) (PACORUS-D)

The PACORUS-D project aims at 1) quantifying the 30-days and 1-year disability burden (assessed using the 12-item WHODAS 2 \[WHO Disability Assessment Schedule\] questionnaire) after inhospital noncardiac nonneurosurgical procedures ; 2) quantifying the resource utilization up the 1 year after inhospital noncardiac nonneurosurgical procedures; 3) validating days alive and out of hospital (construct and criterion validity) in Germany. PACORUS-D consists of 2 independent cohort: a clinical multicentre cohort to assess "disability" and "days alive and out of hospital" and an administrative cohort to assess "days alive and out of hospital" and "resource utilization" from statutory health insurance data. PACORUS-D is intended as preparatory project in Germany before international expansion. THIS REGISTRATION REFERS TO THE CLINICAL COHORT ONLY.
