^aThere were 21 missing values in the intervention group because the ASA grade was not documented in these patients’ journals or on the anaesthesia form
An analysis of the missing patients’ characteristics did not show any significant differences compared with the other patients in the intervention group. Age range, 46–86 years; mean, 68 years LoS range, 2–8 days; mean, 4.3 days; SD, 1.6
^bA correlation was found between GSES and LoS in the control group (p = 0,000)
LoS length of stay, ASA, American society of Anaesthesiologists’ classification system, gPCC Gothenburg person-centred care, SD standard deviation
