Continuous remimazolam\/propofol infusion and target-controlled remifentanil infusion were performed. Recovery was evaluated using the Korean version of the Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15K) questionnaire. The primary outcome was the QoR-15K score on postoperative day (POD) 3. Secondary outcomes included the QoR-15K score on POD 1; perioperative mean arterial pressure and heart rate; times to eye opening, extubation, and full recovery; post-anesthetic care unit (PACU) adverse events; postoperative delirium; and duration of hospitalization.Results: The total QoR-15K scores over time did not make differences significantly between the groups. Total QoR-15K scores on POD 3 (112.0 [96.0, 119.0] vs. 104.0 [84.8, 120.5], P = 0.481) and POD 1 (80.0 [62.0, 97.0] vs. 78.0 [60.8, 95.3], P = 0.635) were comparable between the groups. The MAP and HR were significantly higher in the remimazolam group. The times to extubation (12.0 [11.0, 15.0] vs. 10.5 [9.0, 12.3] min, P = 0.003) and full recovery (13.0 [9.0, 16.0] vs. 11.5 [8.0, 14.0] min, P = 0.045) were notably longer in the remimazolam group. The incidence of adverse events in the PACU and postoperative delirium, and duration of hospitalization were comparable between the groups.Conclusions: Remimazolam yielded a similar QoR as propofol in older patients undergoing laparoscopic abdominal surgeries.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.17085\/apm.24154","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,29]],"date-time":"2026-04-29T05:41:12Z","timestamp":1777441272000},"page":"212-222","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.17085\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Comparison of the recovery profiles of remimazolam-remifentanil and propofol-remifentanil in older patients undergoing laparoscopic abdominal surgeries"],"prefix":"10.17085","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8669-5517","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Seung Cheol","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0236-7135","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Chan Jong","family":"Chung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-2341-9590","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Seok Hyun","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4173-8939","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"So Ron","family":"Choi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7495-8025","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Sang Yoong","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9241-9735","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Tae Young","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2573","container-title":["Anesthesia and Pain Medicine"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/anesth-pain-med.org\/upload\/pdf\/apm-24154.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/anesth-pain-med.org\/journal\/view.php?doi=10.17085\/apm.24154","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/anesth-pain-med.org\/upload\/pdf\/apm-24154.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,29]],"date-time":"2026-04-29T05:41:23Z","timestamp":1777441283000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/anesth-pain-med.org\/journal\/view.php?doi=10.17085\/apm.24154"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,30]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2026,4]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.17085\/apm.24154","relation":{},"ISSN":["1975-5171","2383-7977"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1975-5171","type":"print"},{"value":"2383-7977","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,30]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2024-10-29","order":0,"name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2026-01-12","order":1,"name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2026-04-29","order":2,"name":"published","label":"Published online","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2026-04-30","order":3,"name":"published","label":"Print publication","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
