Background: Numerous guidelines for perioperative care in esophagectomy have been developed to promote postoperative quality of recovery (QoR). However, the trajectories and predictors of QoR based on patient-reported outcome after esophagectomy have not been characterized.
Methods: This multicenter, prospective, observational study enrolled 206 patients undergoing esophagectomy. Primary analysis was to estimate the trajectories of QoR using group-based trajectory modeling.
Results: Four distinct QoR trajectories were identified: poor QoR (38, 18.4%), poor to moderate QoR (83, 40.3%), moderate to good QoR (51, 24.8%), and good QoR (34, 16.5%). Secondary analysis revealed that preoperative nutritional risk (odds ratio [OR], 1.13; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.03-1.23), lower preoperative QoR-15 score (OR, 0.75; 95% CI, 0.61-0.91), longer duration of surgery (OR, 1.02; 95% CI, 1.01-1.04), and higher area under the curve of postoperative pain scores during coughing (OR, 1.22; 95% CI, 1.09-1.36) were significantly associated with the poor QoR trajectory.
Conclusions: Notably, four postoperative QoR trajectories were identified and the predictors for poor QoR trajectory included preoperative nutritional risks, lower preoperative QoR-15 scores, longer surgical duration, and higher postoperative pain scores during coughing.

Background: Cancer patients undergoing major surgery often have perioperative depression symptoms, and are associated with worsened outcomes.
Aims: We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of S-ketamine in alleviating depressive symptoms after abdominal Tumor surgery.
Methods: A prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized trial was conducted, enrolling 230 patients with newly screened mild-to-severe depressive symptoms scheduled for abdominal tumor resection.

Background: We sought to measure patient recovery trajectory up to 90 days after surgery using both the 15-item quality of recovery score (QoR-15) (range 0-150) and the number of days alive and at home up to 30 days after surgery (DAH).
Methods: This prospective cohort study included adult patients undergoing either elective intermediate (mostly arthroplasty) or cardiac surgery, or day case gastroscopy (control group). We asked eligible patients to record their QoR-15 scores before their procedure and then daily via smartphone text messaging for 2 weeks, then weekly for 2 weeks, and then monthly up to 90 days after their procedure to track recovery trajectory.

Background: Patients with multiple rib fractures (MRFs) often experience severe postoperative pain. The parascapular sub-iliocostalis plane (PSIP) block holds promise as an effective method for analgesia, warranting further investigation and validation.
Methods: In this double-masked randomized trial, eligible MRF patients underwent surgery and were allocated to receive either preoperative PSIP block (intervention) or standard care (control).

Background: Patient-centered outcome measures should be evaluated postoperatively as the recovery after surgery varies between patients. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility, reliability, and trajectory of the quality of recovery-15 (QoR-15) in patients undergoing cardiothoracic and aortic surgeries.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included adult patients who underwent elective cardiothoracic and aortic surgeries.
