ABSTRACT: Background
Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) are the most frequent complications in the context of anaesthesia. Several studies suggest a contribution of genetic traits to PONV disposition. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located in the cholinergic receptor muscarinic 3 gene CHRM3 (rs2165870) and the potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily B member 2 KCNB2 (rs349358) have been described as independent risk factors for the occurrence of PONV. In addition, further SNPs might be associated with an increased PONV risk, for example a dopamine D2 receptor (DRD2) SNP (rs1800497).Objective
The primary aim of our study was the development of a new PONV prediction score which includes genetic information of SNPs in the genes CHRM3 and KC
