The objective of the registry is to provide a platform for participating sites to enter data to measure post-operative quality of recovery after a surgical procedure. These data will be used to answer multiple research questions in the future, as well as to provide benchmarking data for recovery for specific operations. Specific research questions that will utilise the registry data will require separate HREC approval. The primary outcome measure tool is the Postoperative Quality of Recovery Scale (PostopQRS).

The Postoperative Quality of Recovery Scale (PostopQRS) is a survey to measure recovery from the patient's perspective. It is initially performed before surgery to measure the patient's baseline condition, and then recovery is measured at multiple time points after surgery and compared to their pre-surgery baseline. In simple terms, recovery occurs when the patient has returned to their baseline condition or better. The scale is multidimensional, capturing recovery in domains such as physiological, emotional, cognitive (brain function), pain and nausea and their ability to perform activities of daily living.
