Drinking, eating, and mobilising (DrEaMing) as a postoperative outcome measure in patients following major elective colorectal cancer surgery: a prospective cohort study
DrEaMing is a valid patient-centred outcome measure in elective colorectal surgery and a marker of surgical recovery. Failure to DrEaM on POD 3 and DrEaMing regression are associated with postoperative morbidity and prolonged LOS. DrEaMing could therefore be further implemented as an easy patient-centred outcome, adding to a better overview of a patient's recovery besides the measurement of traditional outcomes.
