In this prospective, observational study, SPONVIS, simplified Apfel PONV Risk Scores, post-operative anti-emetic drug use, total PONV score, and 3-month recall score for PONV were recorded from Taiwanese patients who had undergone general anesthesia and surgery. With antiemetic use and 3-month recall score as validations of clinical significance, we determined whether the elements and cut-off points used in the original SPONVIS study could be used in Taiwanese patients. A total of 378 patients were included in the analysis. One hundred forty (37.1%) patients had PONV. Forty-eight patients (12.7%) had clinically important PONV (SPONVIS score ≥ 5). The odds ratios were 14.26 (CI 6.91-29.43; P < 0.001) and 4.95 (CI 2.42 to 10.11; P < 0.001), respectively, for prediction of anti-emetic drug use and 3-month recall. T...
