Core Tip	This retrospective cohort study investigates the relationship between preoperative comorbidity severity, perioperative nursing processes, and early recovery outcomes in 174 gastric cancer patients undergoing total gastrectomy. While higher comorbidity severity correlated with delayed key nursing events (e.g., time to first oral intake and ambulation), it was not an independent predictor of delayed postoperative recovery after multivariate adjustment. The analysis identified time to first oral intake as a significant independent predictor of delayed recovery.
