Abstract
Study objectives
This study aimed to assess the effect of perioperative rehabilitation exercise, initiated shortly after hospital admission, on postoperative outcomes in elderly patients.
Design
A prospective, multicenter, randomized, controlled, open-label, and assessor-blinded clinical trial.
Setting
Hospital wards.
Patients
Elderly patients (≥65 years, n = 160) scheduled for gastrointestinal surgery between June 2021 and November 2022 were enrolled and randomly assigned to the intervention or control group.
Interventions
Patients were divided into two groups base on whether they had received a specific type of exercise program initiated after hospital admission and continued until 30 days after surgery.
Measurements
The primary outcome was the Comprehensive Complications Index (CCI) measured at 30 days after surgery. Secondary outcomes were the rate of complications, number of complications, patient satisfaction, hospital readmission, postoperative length of stay, gastrointestinal function recovery, postoperative quality of life and psychological status. Intention-to-treat (ITT) and per-protocol (PP) analyses were conducted.
Main results
ITT analysis showed a significantly lower 30-day CCI in the intervention group (β: -6.31; 95 % Confidence Interval [CI], −11.26 to −1.37, P = 0.013). Compared to controls, the intervention group had a decreased rate of hospital readmission (Odds Ratio: 0.00; 95 % CI, 0.00 to 0.32, P = 0.022), less number of complications (β: -0.57; 95 % CI, −1.03 to −0.11, P = 0.016), as well as lower rate of postoperative anxiety (β: -0.74; 95 % CI, −1.42 to −0.06, P = 0.033) and depression scores (β: -1.13; 95 % CI, −0.97 to −1.30, P = 0.008). Additionally, the intervention group reported higher satisfaction (β: 0.98; 95 % CI, 0.33 to 1.64, P = 0.004) and Euro quality of life-Visual Analogue Scale scores (β: 8.88; 95 % CI, 2.48 to 15.28, P = 0.007). Similar results were found in the PP analysis.
Conclusion
Perioperative rehabilitation exercise has a positive impact on postoperative complications, quality of life and psychological well-being in elderly patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery, even when implemented after hospital admission.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Clinical Anesthesia (JCA) addresses all aspects of anesthesia practice, including anesthetic administration, pharmacokinetics, preoperative and postoperative considerations, coexisting disease and other complicating factors, cost issues, and similar concerns anesthesiologists contend with daily. Exceptionally high standards of presentation and accuracy are maintained.
The core of the journal is original contributions on subjects relevant to clinical practice, and rigorously peer-reviewed. Highly respected international experts have joined together to form the Editorial Board, sharing their years of experience and clinical expertise. Specialized section editors cover the various subspecialties within the field. To keep your practical clinical skills current, the journal bridges the gap between the laboratory and the clinical practice of anesthesiology and critical care to clarify how new insights can improve daily practice.
