| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study examined whether preoperative health literacy was related to postoperative outcomes in patients with abdominal tumors who underwent surgery and perioperative rehabilitation.
Outcomes included whether physical function and health-related quality of life declined by more than clinically significant changes from preoperative to discharge time, readmission to the hospital up to 90 days after discharge, and postoperative complications from postoperative to discharge. The analysis was performed with subject characteristics taken into account.
Ultimately, 97 subjects were included in the analysis. Considering the preoperative subject characteristics, no clear relationship was found between preoperative health literacy and short-term postoperative outcomes.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究の結果から，周術期でリハビリテーションが行われている腹部臓器の腫瘍を有する患者においては，健康リテラシーは手術後の短期的なアウトカムに強く影響しない可能性が示された．よって，上記のような患者では，フレイルや身体機能の低下などその他の重要な術後アウトカムのリスク因子に対しての対応を優先した方が，術後の身体機能や生活の質の低下や退院後の再入院，術後合併症の予防に寄与すると考えられた．
