About this study

Official title: Effekt av Prehabilitering Och Extra Tidig Mobilisering Efter öppen Pankreas Kirurgi

Open upper gastrointestinal surgery includes surgery in the upper abdomen such as ventricular, duodenal, pancreatic and biliary tract surgery. After upper abdominal surgery there is a risk of gastrointestinal and cardiopulmonary complications. There is currently insufficient knowledge about the effect of prehabilitation and extra early postoperative mobilization in upper pancreatic surgery.

This study's aim is to evaluate the effect of prehabilitation and extra early mobilization.

The study includes two substudies:

  1. A prospective cohort of 75 patients undergoing pancreatic surgery after a prehabilitation program will be compared to 75 historical controls. Primary outcome is postoperative complications.
  2. A randomized controlled trial based on 72 patients undergoing pancreatic studying the effect of extra early rehabilitation. The intervention group will be mobilized to bedside, standing or sitting in armchair <6 hours after surgery, ie 3-4 hours after arrival at the Postoperative Department (PIVA). The control group will be mobilized according to routine i.e. the morning after surgery. Primary outcome is PaO2.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Postoperative complications

    Standardized complications according to register

    Measured: Whole study period from inclusion to one year after surgery

  2. PaO2

    Arterial oxygen pressure

    Measured: The day before surgery to the first day after surgery

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. EORTC-module generic

    Quality of life, EORTC-QLQ-C30 (Range 30-124) Low values correspond to high quality of life

    Measured: Whole study period from inclusion to one year after surgery

  2. EORTC-module specific for pancreas cancer

    Quality of life QLQ-OG25 (Range 25- 100). Low values correspond to high quality of life

    Measured: Whole study period from inclusion to one year after surgery

  3. EORTC-module for fatigue

    Quality of Life FA-R13 (range 12- 48). Low values correspond to high quality of life

    Measured: Whole study period from inclusion to one year after surgery

  4. The Postoperative Recovery Profile

    Quality of recovery according to Allvin et al. 19 statements which are rated on a four grade scale fron no problem to major problem

    Measured: Whole study period from inclusion to one year after surgery

  5. Pancreatic cancer disease impact (PACADI) score

    Disease specific questionnaire, 8 statements rated on a visual analogue scale from 0 (no problem) to 10 (worst imaginable problem). Sum score are used for analysis (Range 0-80)

    Measured: Whole study period from inclusion to one year after surgery

  6. Spirometry

    Vital capacity

    Measured: From inclusion (during preoperative information 1-14 days before surgery) to the first postoperative day after the operation

  7. Lenght of stay

    Length of stay at the hospital

    Measured: From the day before surgery to discharge from the hospital (app 7-14 days)
