Days at home after surgery as a perioperative outcome: scoping review and recommendations for use in health services research
Days at home after surgery is a robust, flexible, and validated outcome measure that is being increasingly used as a patient-centred metric after surgery. With growing use, there is also growing variability in terms used, definitions applied, and reporting standards. This review summarizes these findings to work towards coordinating and standardizing the use of days at home after surgery as a patient-centred policy and research tool.
