^aMMAS-8: 8-item Morisky Medication Adherence Scale.

^bP value reflects low and medium compared with high.

^cP value based on Fishers exact test.

^dPOD: postop day.

^eFour patients in surrogate group did not keep POD-30 follow-up, so MMAS-8 score is not available.

^fP value based on chi-square test.
