Summary
We will conduct a 7 day cohort study of consecutive patients aged 16 years and older undergoing inpatient noncardiac surgery. Patients will be followed up for a maximum of 30 days. We will follow the original European Surgical Outcomes Study (EuSOS) study design.
The primary outcome is in-hospital mortality. Secondary outcomes include length of stay and admission to intensive care. Centres across South Africa representing the public service will recruit patients. This study will run from 19 May 2014 to 26 May 2014.
