What this trial measures
- Proportion of participants whose phlebotomy was collected prior to surgeryWithin 2 weeks prior to surgery
The feasibility of collecting blood samples prior to surgery is measured by the proportion of participants whose phlebotomy was successfully collected.
- Proportion of participants whose phlebotomy was collected post-surgery (pre-MARI)Post-surgery and prior to MARI intervention (up to 30 days)
The feasibility of collecting blood samples post-surgery (and pre-MARI intervention) is measured by the proportion of participants whose phlebotomy was successfully collected.
- Proportion of participants whose phlebotomy was collected post-MARIPost-MARI intervention (up to 30 days)
The feasibility of collecting blood samples post-MARI is measured by the proportion of participants whose phlebotomy was successfully collected.
