Patient exclusion criteria
The following conditions rendered patients ineligible for study participation: age < 18 years, infectious disease within the last month, immune-suppressant therapy within the last 2 months, chronic medication with immune-modulatory effects, major surgery within the last 3 months or minor surgery within the last month, history of substance abuse, pregnancy, autoimmune disease, organ dysfunction resulting in significant clinical impairment, and active malignancy.
Patient-reported outcome tools
Patient-reported clinical outcomes were captured with the Surgical Recovery Scale (SRS) and an adapted version of the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) [1]. The SRS has specially been developed and validated to quantify fatigue and resulting impairment of daily activities in surgical patients [2]–[5]. The SRS is sensitive to change and correlates with course and severity of postoperative complications [1], [6]. Patients were asked to use Likert scales to answer thirteen questions assessing fatigue and resulting impairment of performing different daily activities. A compound score is derived ranging from 17 to 100 (worst to no fatigue/impairment). An adapted version of the WOMAC scale was used because not all questions are applicable in the context of surgery. The scale is well validated and reliably tracks functional impairment over time [1], [7]–[11]. Patients were asked to use an 11-point numerical scale to rate pain at night, at rest, while weight-bearing, and while walking on a flat surface. A compound score is derived ranging from 0 to 40 (no to worst pain). Patients were also asked to rate functional impairment of the operated leg while lying, sitting, raising from the bed, raising from the chair, standing, and walking on a flat surface. A compound score is derived ranging from 0 to 60 (no to worst impairment).
Accelerometry
Participants were instructed to continuously wear a clinical research grade smartwatch (ActiGraph GT9X Link) for a total duration of 45 days (5 days prior to surgery and the following 40 days, not including the day of surgery). The three-dimensional wrist acceleration data was recorded at 30 Hz sensing frequency and stored locally on the device. The de-identified HIPAA compliant patient data was transmitted into a secure cloud server after the completion of the trial. ActiGraph's data analysis software platform ActiLife v6.13.3 was used for feature extraction. Default values were used for all settings and parameters except for Epoch Length (60), and the selection of the Tudor-Locke algorithm sleep detection, and the Cole-Kripke Sleep/Wake algorithms.
Mass Cytometry Analysis
Whole-blood samples were collected in sodium-heparinized tubes 1hr prior to surgery. Within 30 minutes of phlebotomy, samples (1 mL) were stimulated with GMCSF (100 ng/mL, R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN), IFN- (100 ng/mL, PBL Assay Science, Piscataway, NJ), a mixture of IL-2, -4, and -6 (each 100 ng/mL, R&D α
Systems), LPS (1 ug/mL, InvivoGen, San Diego, CA), and PI (Cell Stimulation Cocktail, Invitrogen, San Diego, CA) or left unstimulated, were fixed in Smart Tubes (Smart Tube Inc., San Carlos, CA), and then immediately stored at −80 °C.
The tissue trauma associated with surgery triggers the release of inflammatory mediators, such as alarmins and inflammatory cytokines, which in turn results in the systemic alteration of innate and adaptive immune cell signaling responses. Our group and others previously showed that activation of the MyD88 pathway (including the P38 and NFkB signaling) in myeloid cell subsets, and the JAK/STAT (notably STAT1, STAT3 and STAT5) signaling and ERK/MAPK signaling in myeloid and lymphoid (e.g., CD4+ and CD8+T cell subsets) cell subsets are core elements of the human endogenous immune cell signaling response to surgery [1]. The rationale for selecting our ex-vivo stimulation panel is to allow assessing the integrity of canonical innate and adaptive immune signaling responses that are endogenously altered in response to surgery. As described in detail in [12], chosen stimulations elicit such cell-type specific responses in a robust and reproducible fashion.
Specifically, stimulation with LPS activates MyD88 signaling responses primarily in myeloid cells; the combination of IL-2/IL-6/IFN-a activates JAK/STAT (predominantly STAT1/STAT3/STAT5) signaling responses in both innate and adaptive immune cells, while GM-CSF triggers STAT5 signaling responses in myeloid cells selectively. PMA/Ionomycin was also selected as it allows robust activation of calcium- dependent signaling (notably ERK/MAPK signal) responses, notably in adaptive immune cell subsets.
After thawing and erythrocyte lysis, samples were barcoded and stained with surface and intracellular antibodies using standardized protocols [13]. In brief, the mass cytometry antibody panel included 28 antibodies that were used for phenotyping of immune cell subsets and 11 antibodies for the characterization of intracellular signaling (Supplementary Table 2). Antibodies were either obtained preconjugated (Fluidigm, Inc.) or were purchased as purified, carrierfree (no BSA, gelatin) versions, which were then conjugated with trivalent metal isotopes utilizing the MaxPAR antibody conjugation kit (Fluidigm, Inc.).
Whole blood samples were subjected to erythrocyte lysis using Thaw-Lyse Buffer (Smart Tube, Inc., San Carlos, CA) and isolated leukocytes from each sample were treated (barcoded) with a unique combination of 3 palladium isotopes (Trace Sciences, International, Wilmington, DE) in 0.02% saponin (Millipore-Sigma, St.
Louis, MO). After barcoding, cells were pooled and treated in aggregate with 1:100 Human Fc block (Biolegend, San Diego, CA), stained with surface antibodies, then permeabilized with methanol and stained with intracellular antibodies and finally treated with an iridium-based DNA intercalator (Fluidigm, Inc., South San Francisco, CA). All antibodies used in the analysis were titrated and validated on samples that were processed identically to the samples used in the study.
Barcoded and antibody-stained cells were analyzed on the mass cytometer. In order to minimize experimental variability, samples were barcoded, stained, and run simultaneously on the mass cytometry instrument.
Barcoded samples were analyzed at a flow rate of 600–800 cells/s. The output FCS files were normalized∼ and de-barcoded using MatLab-based software. The resulting FCS files were uploaded to the Cell Engine (https://cellengine.com, Primity Bio, Fremont, CA) flow cytometry analysis platform. Manual gating was performed according to the gating strategy in Supplementary Figure 2. The following cell types were included in the analysis: neutrophils, CD27+ Bmem cells, CD27−Bnaive cells, CD38+ CD24+ plasma and CD38+ CD27+
transitional B cells, CD56hiCD16− NK cells, CD56loCD16+ NK cells, CD4+CD45RA−T cells (CD4+ Tmem), CD4+CD45RA+ T cells (CD4+ Tnaive), CD4+Tbet+CD45RA−T cells (Th1), CD4+Tbet+CD45RA+ T cells, CD25+FoxP3+CD4+ T cells (Tregs), CD8+CD45RA−T cells (CD8+ Tmem), CD8+CD45RA+ T cells (CD8+
Tnaive), CD8+Tbet+CD45RA− T cells, CD8+Tbet+CD45RA+ T cells, TCRγδ T cells, CD14+CD16− classical monocytes (cMCs), CD14−CD16+ non-classical monocytes (ncMCs), CD14+CD16+ intermediate monocytes (intMCs), monocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells (M-MDSCs), myeloid dendritic cells (mDCs), and plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs).
The signal intensity of 11 functional markers (pSTAT1, pSTAT3, pSTAT5, pSTAT6, pCREB, pMAPKAPK(pMK2), pERK, prpS6, pP38, and pNF- B, and total I B) for each cell type were simultaneously extracted. Two groupsκ κ of immune features were derived: endogenous signaling immune features and intracellular signaling response features. Endogenous intracellular signaling activities were derived from analyzing unstimulated blood samples. The arcsinh transformation of the median signal intensities of each signaling protein, per cell type, was used to calculate signaling immune features. Intracellular signaling response features were calculated as the difference in median signal intensity of each signaling protein (after arcsinh transformation) between stimulated and unstimulated samples.
Modeling and Analysis
Multivariate modeling of clock of postoperative recovery
A supervised prediction algorithm was developed to take a collection of physical activity representations (or features) and predict a patient’s trajectory of physical recovery from surgery. The presented approach extracts such activity and sleep monitoring features from a tridimensional accelerometer equipped in ActiGraph smart watches. These representations (e.g., step count, metabolic equivalent of task, onset of sleep and sleep efficiency) were computed according to state-of-the-art methods on unsupervised human activity learning and signal processing (see the Supplementary Table 1 for the complete list of features). The set of such computed representations for patient p are referred as feature matrix
F
mn(p)=[f
ij]
for all i∈¿ and j∈¿ where m and n are the number of postoperative days and the number of features, respectively. Similarly, a baseline (preoperative) feature matrix for each patient is computed from five-day preoperative data (denoted byB
(p)=[ b
ij]
for all i∈¿ and j∈¿ where k and n are the length of preoperative days and the number of features, respectively).B
(p) is used to compute a standardized transformation that independently scales feature columns to zero mean and unit variance:f
ij:=(f
ij−μ
j)/ σ
j where μj and σj are the mean and variance of feature j inB
(p) . Thecomputed transformation is then applied to
F
(p) . Such transformation is commonly carried out for many machine learning estimators to reduce the unwanted effect of outliers or/and features with larger values on optimization—by having the training data look more similar to a standard Gaussian distribution.The personalized prediction model
h
(p) accepts an instance (i.e., computed features associated with sensor readings of patient p from a single day, denoted byx
(ip)= [ f
ij]
1×n:∀ j ∈ ¿
and predicts the number of days passed since surgery (^ y
(p)i ). This model can be formulated and optimized as a regression problem. As such, a number of classes of regression methods such as Generalized Linear Models, Decision Trees, Nearest Neighbors, and Ensemble Methods have been explored. Random Forest regression was chosenas it benefits from generalizability of ensemble methods and flexibility of decision trees. Random Forest regression implements a bootstrap aggregation technique where it trains multiple decision tree models on random sampling with replacement of the training data (bootstrap) followed by aggregating the prediction of base models by averaging. As a result, it benefits the non-linearity of decision tree models while addressing the high variance of decision trees—boosting generalizability.
Quantifying patient-specific recovery surrogates from patients’ clock of postoperative recovery
The proposed surgical recovery surrogate vector represents an objective quantification of patient’s rate of recovery by transformation of the high dimensional time-series activity and sleep feature matrix to one dimensional ‘time to recovery’ surrogate vector. Each time-series activity feature when plotted against the baseline (preoperative) values visualizes a patient’s recovery trend over time with respect to its baseline (Figure 2C). Intuitively, one can define the recovery surrogate (denoted by
[ τ
j]
1× n: ∀ j∈ ¿
) as a vector of time after surgery when the value of clock of recovery returns to its prediction for baseline. Specifically, it is the first day since surgery (zero-based) where its corresponding feature value is at least as large as the Q1 (or Q3 if f>0 ) of baseline feature bj . Simplistically, one could utilize the minimum (or maximum if f>0 ) of fj as the threshold to returning to baseline status, however, the first quartile was picked to ensure robustness against any possible outlier in baseline feature bj . For each patient, the recovery surrogate τj splits the postoperative timeline into two periods: day 0 to day(τ
j−1 )
, when the patient is still in recovery; and day τj and after when the patient has recovered to his/her preoperative physical baseline as represented by jth physical attribute. Given a patient p and its correspondingB

Multivariate modeling of recovery surrogates using Canonical Correlation Analysis
A CCA model was developed to investigate a linear association between patients’ recovery surrogate vector and immune and proteomics networks. Taking the correlated immune network, as an example, for a set of vectors

of all endogenous signaling immune features and intracellular signaling response features in a training cohort of size p , and a set of corresponding recovery surrogate vectorsY =(Y
1,Y
2, … ,Y

, the model aims to maximize the coefficient of correlation between a linear combination of each set. This is carried out by finding a pair of canonical components(C C
X, C C
Y)
such that C CX=a1X1+a2X2+…+apXp and C CY=a1Y1+a2Y2+…+apYp .Performance evaluation
To ensure independence between the observations in training and test, a repeated 10-fold cross validation has been applied to validate the random forest regression model. This approach makes certain that the models have been independently trained and tested on all patients without utilizing unseen patient data from the test splits during training. The 10-fold cross validation has been repeated 30 times using different random seed numbers to randomly create various splits of training and test data. The aggregated prediction for each input reported the median estimated time since surgery from the patient’s accumulated prediction vector. The prediction vector contained 30 predictions for each input (trained in 30 different folds, all blinded to the corresponding input). The Spearman’s correlation coefficient and p value between the aggregated predictions and the ground-truth values were reported (Supplementary Figure 3). The CCA model is validated using leave-one-patient-out cross validation to examine the generalizability of model prediction on an unseen patient while maximizing the size of training cohort in each iteration.

Supplementary Figure 2. Gating strategy.
Two-dimensional dot plots depicted for a representative sample. Gating was performed using Cell Engine (https://cellengine.com). Live singlet leukocytes were derived from DNA+ CD235ab– CD61– cPARP– events, which are split into mononuclear cells (CD45+ CD66– ) and neutrophils (CD45+ CD66+ ). Initially, adaptive cell populations are gated from the mononuclear cells (CD19+CD3– B cells and CD19– CD3+ T cells). The CD19– CD3– population is further split into CD7+ NK cells (CD56loCD16+ and CD56hiCD16–, respectively) and CD14+ CD16– classical monocytes, CD14+ CD16+
intermediate monocytes, and CD14– CD16+ non-classical monocytes. Dendritic cell populations are defined as CD14–
CD16– HLA-DR+ , and subdivided into CD11c+ mDC, and CD123+ pDC. A subpopulation of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (HLA-DRlo, CD11b+) is derived from classical monocytes. B cells are split into naïve (CD27– ) and memory (CD27+ ) cells. Transitional B cells (CD38+, CD24+ ) are derived from naïve cells and plasma (CD38+, CD27- ), and memory B cells (CD38- ;CD27+ ) from memory B cells. T cells are divided into TCRgd+ , CD4+, and CD8+ subpopulations. Among the CD4+
T cells, T helper 1 (Tbet+ ), regulatory T (FoxP3+ CD25+ ), naïve (CD45RA+ ), and memory (CD45RA– ) cells are identified.
Among the CD8+ T cells, naïve (CD45RA+ ), and memory (CD45RA– ) cells are identified. Cell types included in analysis are labeled in blue.
Supplementary Figure 3. Prediction of time since surgery.
A supervised prediction model using Random Forest (RF) regression was independently trained on the interconnected temporal graph of medium to high-level patient accelerometry attributes of each patient. The target variable to be predicted was time since surgery given the corresponding daily feature vector. The repeated 10-fold cross-validation showed high performance of the patient-specific RF model with median prediction p-values of
5.9× 10
−7 and amedian spearman correlation coefficient of 0.7 across all models.
Supplementary Figure 4. Performance comparison of the clock of recovery vs the univariate models.
The multivariate model predicting time since surgery (the clock of surgical recovery) is compared to baseline univariate models trained on individual medium to high-level measurements. These measurements can be directly computed from ActiGraph smartwatches. Two metrics are shown in this comparison: Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and Mean Absolute Error (MAE). The y axes show the errors (units are days since surgery) for all cross validated patients. Note that the same training and validation pipeline is used for this comparison.
Supplementary Figure 5. Correlation between preoperative immune features and postoperative physical recovery. (A) The bipartite correlation graph (spearman’s correlation) of immune and accelerometry networks. The edges correspond to significant correlation (p<0.05) between cellular responses (right) and ‘time to return to baseline’ for each accelerometry feature (left). The node colors in the accelerometry network indicate association with a major physical recovery cluster. The node colors in the immune networks indicate association with ex-vivo stimulations. (B) Examples of relevant strong correlations (edges) from each physical activity clusters ‘Activity Capacity’ and ‘Moderate and Overall Activity’ with pSTAT1 response to INF- stimulation in NK cells and CD4T cells (immune features shown on theα right) are depicted. The regression plot (regression line and 90% confidence interval) demonstrates the associated of each immune feature with speed of physical recovery with respect to the depicted physical recovery cluster over all patients.
Supplementary Figure 6. Pre-operative physical activity levels are not associated with the speed of recovery.
Preoperative physical activity and sleep quality measurements were used to predict the recovery surrogates derived from the proposed clock of postoperative recovery. A Random Forest regression model was trained and tested using a 10-fold cross-validation scheme. The recovery surrogates are plotted versus the model prediction using the test-subjects that were not used in model training. The results (Spearman’s ρ=0.08,p value=0.57 ) indicate that the recovery surrogate is not dependent on pre-operative physical activity levels.

Supplementary Table 3. Coefficients of mass cytometry CCA model.
Coefficients (weights) of the Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA) model trained on mass cytometry features predicting surrogates of postoperative recovery. The 10 percent features in terms of significance to the predictive model are listed.
The positive (or negative) weights indicate positive correlation with larger (or smaller) values of activity surrogates.
