The highest risks were found for laparoscopic bariatric operations (36.2%), open hysterectomy (30.4%), enterostoma relocation (29.8%), open radical prostatectomy (28.8%), laparoscopic colon resection (28.6%) and open sigmoidectomy (28%). In a logistic regression model, male sex (OR: 0.39, 95% CI 0.37 to 0.41, p&lt;0.0001), perioperative nausea and vomiting prophylaxis (0.73, 0.7 to 0.76, p&lt;0.0001), intraoperative regional anaesthesia (0.88, 0.83 to 0.93, p&lt;0.0001) and preoperative opioids for chronic pain (0.74, 0.68 to 0.81, p&lt;0.0001) reduced the risk of nausea. Perioperative opioid use increased the OR up to 2.38 (2.17 to 2.61, p&lt;0.0001).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The risk of postoperative nausea varies considerably between surgical procedures. Patients undergoing certain types of operation should receive special attention and targeted prevention strategies. Adding these findings to known predictive tools may raise awareness of the still unacceptably high incidence of nausea in certain patient groups. This may help to further reduce the prevalence of nausea.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Trial registration number<\/jats:title><jats:p>DRKS00006153; German Clinical Trials Register;<jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" ext-link-type=\"uri\" xlink:href=\"https:\/\/drks.de\/search\/de\/trial\/DRKS00006153\">https:\/\/drks.de\/search\/de\/trial\/DRKS00006153<\/jats:ext-link><\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2023-077508","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,21]],"date-time":"2024-02-21T06:10:31Z","timestamp":1708495831000},"page":"e077508","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Operation-specific risk of postoperative nausea: a cross-sectional study comparing 72 procedures"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3637-7067","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marcus","family":"Komann","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yvonne","family":"Rabe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Thomas","family":"Lehmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Johannes","family":"Dreiling","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Claudia","family":"Weinmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peter","family":"Kranke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Winfried","family":"Mei\u00dfner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024022022101865000_14.2.e077508.1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"411","DOI":"10.1213\/ANE.0000000000004833","article-title":"Fourth consensus guidelines for the management of postoperative nausea and vomiting","volume":"131","author":"Gan","year":"2020","journal-title":"Anesth Analg"},{"key":"2024022022101865000_14.2.e077508.2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"617","DOI":"10.1007\/s00540-017-2363-x","article-title":"An update on the management of postoperative nausea and vomiting","volume":"31","author":"Cao","year":"2017","journal-title":"J Anesth"},{"key":"2024022022101865000_14.2.e077508.3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/oxfordjournals.bja.a013383"},{"key":"2024022022101865000_14.2.e077508.4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00000542-199909000-00022"},{"key":"2024022022101865000_14.2.e077508.5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2044.2004.03875.x"},{"key":"2024022022101865000_14.2.e077508.6","first-page":"161","article-title":"The quality of postoperative pain therapy in German hospitals","volume":"114","author":"Mei\u00dfner","year":"2017","journal-title":"Dtsch Arztebl Int"},{"key":"2024022022101865000_14.2.e077508.7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/AJP.0b013e31824c5d7a"},{"key":"2024022022101865000_14.2.e077508.8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"396","DOI":"10.1007\/s00482-012-1154-4","article-title":"External validity of pain-linked functional interference. are we measuring what we want to measure","volume":"26","author":"Rothaug","year":"2012","journal-title":"Schmerz"},{"key":"2024022022101865000_14.2.e077508.9","unstructured":"OPS official web page. n.d.
