Summary
This study will follow 50,000 adults having planned non-cardiac surgery at two hospitals in Sweden. Researchers want to see if how much physical activity people report doing before surgery can help predict complications like infections, heart problems, or death. The goal is to find out if this simple, modifiable factor adds useful information beyond standard risk factors like age and other health conditions.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors better identify patients at risk of complications after surgery, leading to more personalized care.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It cannot prove that increasing physical activity improves outcomes, only that there may be a link.
