Association Between the Time of Surgery and the Incidence of Postoperative Nausea-Vomiting: A Propensity Score Matched Analysis.

Background The probability of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) may be influenced by the time of day. Since there has been no recent study published exploring this association, we conducted a study to determine the effect of surgical time of day on PONV.
