Zundus Ali-Heybe, Areej Mohamed, Oliver Hamer, James Hill
In this commentary, Zundus Ali-heybe and colleagues critically appraise the most recent Cochrane review on the effects of prehabilitation exercise therapy for patients planned to undergo abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, focusing on the implications for practice and areas for further research.

Frail patients have poorer cardiac surgery outcomes. Interventions targeting frailty may improve surgical recovery. This study explored interventions that specifically target frailty in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. A systematic review was conducted, searching multiple electronic databases from January 2010 to May 2022. Studies applying an intervention targeting frailty (measured using a validated tool) in adults undergoing cardiac surgery were included. Data extraction and quality assessments were undertaken by two authors. From 2726 identified papers, five studies were included in the final review. Studies varied in their definitions of frailty, methods and intervention components. All included an exercise component, but these varied in frequency, length and content. Three studies reported an improvement in frailty. This review identified that there is some evidence that frailty is improved after an exercise intervention. Further research should focus on the multifaceted nature of frailty, the degree to which frailty is reversed by interventions and the effectiveness of such interventions specifically for women.

Background/Aims Congenital heart disease refers to a range of problems related to the heart that are present at birth. Clinical nurse specialists play a crucial role in providing specialised knowledge, expertise, support and advice to patients with congenital heart disease. This study aimed to explore the experiences and feedback of adults with congenital heart disease who attended a nurse-led one-stop clinic. Methods Data were collected via a questionnaire comprised of both open-ended and closed questions. The questions covered patients' demographic characteristics and their experiences before and during the appointment. Of the 144 patients scheduled to attend the one-stop clinic, 124 attended and a total of 91 responded to the questionnaire. Results All participants reported having a positive experience of the nurse-led one-stop clinic, including additional benefits of acquiring knowledge and feeling empowered in managing their disease. All of the participants felt that it was beneficial for them to have all their tests conducted on the same day, although a substantial proportion would prefer their care to be provided locally. Conclusions Specialised life-long follow up is essential for people with congenital heart disease. A nurse-led one-stop-clinic model of care can reduce travel requirements, enhance patients' understanding of their condition and promote patient engagement.
