[Development of a multivariable predictive model for postoperative nausea and vomiting after cancer surgery in adults].

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

Predicting postoperative nausea and vomiting risk is the cornerstone for deciding prophylaxis. Apfel's score does not define how long a person must be abstinent from smoking to be considered a non-smoker, and the use of intraoperative spinal opioids as a risk factor for predicting postoperative nausea and vomiting is also not addressed. The aim of this study was to quantify predicting postoperative nausea and vomiting risk by an ordinal smoking status and the use of intraoperative opioids (systemic or neuraxial), and to develop a new predictive model.

Methods

Patients scheduled for cancer surgery were prospectively evaluated for predicting postoperative nausea and vomiting in the first 24h after surgery.
