Research led by the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio evaluated postoperative recovery rates from elective surgery in a study, "Association Between Mobilization and Composite Postoperative Complications Following Major Elective Surgery," published in JAMA Surgery. They found that for patients who underwent major elective surgery, every four minutes of mobilization per monitored hour was inversely associated with postoperative complications and was related to shorter hospitalization times. A commentary published in the same journal also discusses the study's findings.
