Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Preoperative anxiety, pain, and repeated exposure to general anesthesia may increase the risk of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in children. This study aims to establish a clinical database by collecting the incidence and risk factors of PTSD in children aged 6 to 12 undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia, with a primary focus on evaluating the overall postoperative PTSD incidence, its incidence at different time points, and identifying potential risk factors.
