Summary

This study wants to improve how we measure children's recovery and experience after surgery and anesthesia. Researchers will translate and test a recovery scale for Danish children aged 4-12, and also develop a new questionnaire that lets children describe their own hospital experience. The goal is to give healthcare workers better insight into what matters to kids, helping reduce anxiety and improve care.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and patient-reported experience measures (PREMs) questionnaires
What this could lead to
If successful, this could give healthcare workers a better understanding of what matters to children during surgery and help improve care for young patients.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage validation and development study with a small sample size (150 for validation, 20 for pilot). The tools may not work as well in other hospitals or countries.
