Effect of Multimodal Prehabilitation vs Postoperative Rehabilitation on 30-Day Postoperative Complications for Frail Patients Undergoing Resection of Colorectal Cancer: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Research supports use of prehabilitation to optimize physical status before and after colorectal cancer resection, but its effect on postoperative complications remains unclear. Frail patients are a target for prehabilitation interventions owing to increased risk for poor postoperative outcomes.

Objective

To assess the extent to which a prehabilitation program affects 30-day postoperative complications in frail patients undergoing colorectal cancer resection compared with postoperative rehabilitation.

Design, setting, and participants

This single-blind, parallel-arm, superiority randomized clinical trial recruited patients undergoing colorectal cancer resection from September 7, 2015, through June 19, 2019. Patients were followed up for 4 weeks before surgery and 4 weeks after surgery at 2 university-affiliated tertiary hospitals. A total of 418 patients 65 years or older were assessed for eligibility. Of these, 298 patients were excluded (not frail [n?=?290], unable to exercise [n?=?3], and planned neoadjuvant treatment [n?=?5]), and 120 frail patients (Fried Frailty Index,?2) were randomized. Ten patients were excluded after randomization because they refused surgery (n?=?3), died before surgery (n?=?3), had no cancer (n?=?1), had surgery without bowel resection (n?=?1), or were switched to palliative care (n?=?2). Hence, 110 patients were included in the intention-to-treat analysis (55 in the prehabilitation [Prehab] and 55 in the rehabilitation [Rehab] groups). Data were analyzed from July 25 through August 21, 2019.

Interventions

Multimodal program involving exercise, nutritional, and psychological interventions initiated before (Prehab group) or after (Rehab group) surgery. All patients were treated within a standardized enhanced recovery pathway.

Main outcomes and measures

The primary outcome included the Comprehensive Complications Index measured at 30 days after surgery. Secondary outcomes were 30-day overall and severe complications, primary and total length of hospital stay, 30-day emergency department visits and hospital readmissions, recovery of walking capacity, and patient-reported outcome measures.

Results

Of 110 patients randomized, mean (SD) age was 78 (7) years; 52 (47.3%) were men and 58 (52.7%) were women; 31 (28.2%) had rectal cancer; and 87 (79.1%) underwent minimally invasive surgery. There was no between-group difference in the primary outcome measure, 30-day Comprehensive Complications Index (adjusted mean difference, -3.2; 95% CI, -11.8 to 5.3; P?=?.45). Secondary outcome measures were also not different between groups.

Conclusions and relevance

In frail patients undergoing colorectal cancer resection (predominantly minimally invasive) within an enhanced recovery pathway, a multimodal prehabilitation program did not affect postoperative outcomes. Alternative strategies should be considered to optimize treatment of frail patients preoperatively.

Project description:Background and purpose - The use of cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA) in elderly patients is debated because of increased risk of early periprosthetic femoral fractures. However, cemented femoral components carry a risk of bone cement implantation syndrome. Hence, we compared in-hospital complications, complications leading to readmission and mortality ≤ 30 days postoperatively between hybrid/cemented (cemented femoral component) vs. cementless THA in osteoarthritis patients > 70 years.Patients and methods - This is a prospective observational cohort study in 9 centers from January 2010 to August 2017. We used 30-day follow-up from the Danish National Patient Registry, patient records, and data from the Danish Hip Arthroplasty Register. Only THAs performed as a result of osteoarthritis were included.Results - 3,368 (42%) of the THAs were cemented/hybrid and 4,728 (58%) cementless. The in-hospital complication risk was 7.7% after cemented/hybrid vs. 5.3% after cementless THA (< 0.001), statistically not significant when adjusting for comorbidities (p = 0.1). There were similar risks of complications causing readmission (5.7% vs. 6.2%) and mortality ≤ 30 days (0.2% vs. 0.3%). 15 cases (0.4%) of pulmonary embolism (PE) were found after cemented/hybrid vs. 4 (0.1%) after cementless THA (p = 0.001); none occurred within 24 hours postoperatively. 2 of the PEs after cementless THA led to mortality. Cemented/hybrid THA remained significantly associated with risk of PE (RR 3.9, p = 0.02), when adjusting for comorbidities. BMI > 35 was associated with highest risk of PE (RR 5.7, p = 0.003). The risk of periprosthetic femoral fracture was 0.2% after cemented/hybrid vs. 1.5% after cementless THA (p < 0.001) and the risk of dislocations was 1.2% after cemented/hybrid THA vs. 1.8% after cementless THA (p = 0.04).Interpretation - The higher risk of PE after cemented/hybrid THA and higher risk of periprosthetic femoral fractures and dislocations after cementless THA highlights that both medically and surgically complications are related to fixation technique and have to be considered.

Project description:BackgroundPostoperative complications occur in up to 43% of patients after surgery, resulting in increased morbidity and economic burden. Prehabilitation has the potential to increase patients' preoperative health status and thereby improve postoperative outcomes. However, reported results of prehabilitation are contradictory. The objective of this systematic review is to evaluate the effects of prehabilitation on postoperative outcomes (postoperative complications, hospital length of stay, pain at postoperative day 1) in patients undergoing elective surgery.MethodsThe authors performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of RCTs published between January 2006 and June 2023 comparing prehabilitation programmes lasting ≥14 days to 'standard of care' (SOC) and reporting postoperative complications according to the Clavien-Dindo classification. Database searches were conducted in PubMed, CINAHL, EMBASE, PsycINFO. The primary outcome examined was the effect of uni- or multimodal prehabilitation on 30-day complications. Secondary outcomes were length of ICU and hospital stay (LOS) and reported pain scores.ResultsTwenty-five studies (including 2090 patients randomized in a 1:1 ratio) met the inclusion criteria. Average methodological study quality was moderate. There was no difference between prehabilitation and SOC groups in regard to occurrence of postoperative complications (OR = 1.02, 95% c.i. 0.93 to 1.13; P = 0.10; I2 = 34%), total hospital LOS (-0.13 days; 95% c.i. -0.56 to 0.28; P = 0.53; I2 = 21%) or reported postoperative pain. The ICU LOS was significantly shorter in the prehabilitation group (-0.57 days; 95% c.i. -1.10 to -0.04; P = 0.03; I2 = 46%). Separate comparison of uni- and multimodal prehabilitation showed no difference for either intervention.ConclusionPrehabilitation reduces ICU LOS compared with SOC in elective surgery patients but has no effect on overall complication rates or total LOS, regardless of modality. Prehabilitation programs need standardization and specific targeting of those patients most likely to benefit.

Project description:PurposeTo examine the 30-day postoperative outcomes of resident involvement in shoulder-stabilization surgical procedures using the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement database.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective review of the National Surgical Quality Improvement database for all shoulder-stabilization procedures from 2010 to 2018. Procedures included arthroscopic Bankart, arthroscopic Bankart with SLAP repair, arthroscopic Bankart with Remplissage, open Bankart, anterior bone block, posterior bone block, Latarjet coracoid process transfer, and capsular shift/capsulorrhaphy for multidirectional instability. Data included preoperative demographics, comorbidities, and 30-day postoperative outcomes. Cases were categorized into 2 groups: "attending alone" and "attending and resident." Statistical analysis comparing groups on demographics and comorbidities included independent t-test for continuous variables and Pearson χ2 or Fischer exact for categorical variables. A logistic regression model including propensity score was used to calculate adjusted odds ratio for outcomes.ResultsA total of 3,954 patients undergoing shoulder-stabilization procedures were included in the study and 28.8% of patients had a resident involved in their procedure. Residents were more likely to be involved in procedure for patients who were of minority ethnicity (P < .001), a lower body mass index (P < .001) and less likely to have a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (P = .029). Resident involvement resulted in statistically significant longer total operation time (91 vs 85 minutes, P < .001). In terms of postsurgical outcomes, complication rates were low for both groups (∼0.8%). Resident involvement was not associated with any significant increase in 30-day postsurgical complications.ConclusionsOur results show that resident involvement in shoulder-stabilization surgery is associated with a significant increase in operative time without any significant increase in 30-day postsurgical complications.Level of evidenceLevel III, retrospective comparative study.
