About this trial
This prospective observational study aims to compare days alive and out of hospital at 30 days (DAOH-30) in patients with poor or good functional capacity undergoing gastrointestinal surgeries. The investigators are testing the hypothesis that patients with good functional capacity will have longer days alive and out of hospital than those with poor.
