About the trial
This audit is looking to find out if there are any differences in how many complications women develop after gynaecological cancer surgery in countries that have different incomes.
It's hoped that the information collected will benefit women needing surgery both now and in the future.
This information will help surgeons and researchers to:
- provide more specific information to women before their surgery about the possible risks
- review and help improve the quality of surgical care in specific local areas
- build an international database on the outcomes of gynaecological cancer surgery
The researchers will collect information about:
- any complications that happen in the operating theatre
- how much of the cancer was removed at the time of the operation
- complications that happen within 30 days of having the operation
- the numbers of people who die within 30 days of having the operation
This information is being collected as part of an audit (a process to assess, evaluate and improve care of patients). Researchers taking part in the audit will collect information about you from your medical records. This information will be anonymous (you can’t be identified) and stored in a secure database. Being part of the audit doesn't require you to have any additional tests or treatments or to complete any questionnaires.
