About this trial
The purpose of the study is to test the impact of the StOP?-protocol - an intra-operative communication briefing, on post-operative mortality and important patient outcomes.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Board-certified surgeons with specialization in one of the following disciplines: general, visceral, thoracic, vascular surgery, surgical urology, or gynecology.
Disqualifiers
Surgeons who are already performing StOP?-protocol. (Potentially, surgeons who took part in the first study (StOP-I) may still perform StOP?).
Surgeon who were previously enrolled in the StOP?-II trial (this is relevant for surgeons who move or rotate between departments/hospitals and might therefore be working at different participating sites).
Patients operated by cluster surgeons during the cluster-specific time period
General consent from the patients, allowing the use of healthcare-related data that are the result of the patient's treatment. In case no written document from the general consent is available despite documented efforts of the participating center, article 34 HRA (Swiss law) will be applied, allowing the use of the healthcare-related patient data.
