Characterizing Patient-Centered Postoperative Recovery After Adult Cardiac Surgery: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT: Background Improving postoperative recovery is important, with a national focus on postacute care, but the volume and quality of evidence in this area are not well characterized. We conducted a systematic review to characterize studies on postoperative recovery after adult cardiac surgery using patient-reported outcome measures. Methods and Results From MEDLINE and Web of Science, studies were included if they prospectively assessed postoperative recovery on adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery using patient-reported outcome measures. Six recovery domains were defined by prior literature: nociceptive symptoms, mental health, physical function, activities of daily living, sleep, and cognitive function. Of the 3432 studies, 105 articles met the inclusion criteria. The studies were small
