About this study

Official title: Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Exercise Improve Perioperative Frailty of Patients Undergoing Elective Surgery:a Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

A randomized, controlled, clinical trial on the efficacy of ERAS exercise improve perioperative frailty in patients undergoing elective laparoscopic colorectal surgery

Objective to evaluate the efficacy of ERAS exercise improve perioperative frailty in patients undergoing elective laparoscopic colorectal surgery

Read more

Participants: Patients undergoing elective laparoscopic colorectal surgery over 18 years old.

The research intervention was ERAS exercise

The study design was a randomized, parallel controlled trial

ERAS exercise in perioperative period as the experimental group. No ERAS exercise group was the control group.

The sample size was estimated according to the main efficacy index ( the attenuation of frailty after 7 days surgery) of this study. It was assumed that the attenuation of frailty in the ERAS exercise group was better than that of the control group. The parameters were set as test level (alpha) of 0.050 using a two-sided two-sample unequal-variance t-test, β = 0.9, according to the results of previous clinical trials and combined with literature, the population mean difference was 0.6 with standard deviations of 0.8 for the experimental group and 0.8 for the control group. the experimental group: the control group was 1:1, 39 cases in each group, considering the 20% shedding rate, 49 cases in the experimental group and 49 cases in the control group were selected.

  1. The experimental group The patients take ERAS exercise from hospitalization to 30 days after operation.
  2. The control group The patients do not take ERAS exercise in perioperative period.

Efficacy evaluation

  1. The primary endpoint of the study was the attenuation of frailty via Frailty Phenotype (FP) between before surgery and 7days, 30 days after surgery.
  2. Secondary endpoints included the 6-minute walk test (6MWT),nutritional risk screening (NRS2002), anxious and depressive states, activities of daily living (ADL),postoperative complications and mortality,short-term recovery quality,postoperative pain.

What is being measured

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

  1. Frailty status

    Frailty status (i.e. robust, prefrail or frail) measured using the Fried's Frailty Phenotype (FP) scores. Frailty scores from 0 to 5 (i.e., 1 point for each component; 0 = best to 5 = worst) and represent robust (0), pre-frail (1-2), and frail (3-5) health status.

    Measured: Change from Baseline Fried's Frailty Phenotype scores at 30 days postoperatively

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Change in gait speed

    This outcome will be measured using the 5-meter walk test.

    Measured: baseline, at 30 days postoperatively

  2. Handgrip strength

    Handgrip strength will be measured using a dynamometer.

    Measured: baseline, at 30 days postoperatively

  3. Perioperative functional capacity

    The 6-minute walk distance (6MWD) test is a non-encouraged test performed in a 30 meters long flat corridor, where the participant is instructed to walk as far as possible, back and forth around two cones, with the permission to slow down, rest, or stop if needed. Ambulation was assessed via the 6MWD test following standardized procedures by measuring the 6MWD in meters. Participants were not permitted to use assistive devices (walker, long leg braces, or short leg braces) during the 6MWD test. Participants with confirmed loss of ambulation at a particular visit were assigned a 6MWD result of 0.

    Measured: baseline, at 30 days postoperatively

  4. Patient mood state

    This outcome will be assessed using Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) questionnaire. The HADS is a fourteen item scale. Seven of the items relate to anxiety and seven relate to depression. The anxiety and depression subscales each range from 0 to 21, with higher scores indicating higher anxiety/depression complains. Patients were defined as having anxiety or depression or both if the score was 8 or more in the corresponding subscale.

    Measured: baseline and 7th day postoperatively

  5. Nutritional status

    This outcome will be assessed using Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS-2002): The patients were classified as being nutritionally risk (NRS+): total score ≥ 3 or nutritionally risk-free (NRS-): total score < 3 according to NRS 2002 results.

    Measured: baseline, at 30 days postoperatively

  6. Short-term recovery quality

    This outcome will be measured using 9-item quality of recovery(QoR-9) score.The QoR-9 is a 9-item score evaluating both physical and mental well-being by assessing five dimensions: emotional state, physical comfort, psychological support, physical independence and pain. Each of the 9 items are scored by the patient from 0 (worst score) to 2 (best score), giving a lowest possible score of 0 (worst outcome), and a highest possible score of 18 (best outcome).

    Measured: baseline, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 7th day postoperatively

  7. Postoperative Complications

    Postoperative Complications evaluated by Clavien- Dindo Score.Nine domains are evaluated: Pulmonary, infectious, renal, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, neurological, wound, haematological and pain. Each domain is graded between grade I and V (death of a patient).

    Measured: 30 days postoperatively

  8. Postoperative 30-day mortality

    Rate of Mortality among study patients

    Measured: 30 days postoperatively

  9. Highest VAS Pain Score at Rest

    Post-operative pain scores at rest, as assessed by Visual Analog Pain Scale (VAS) will be the primary outcome measured. Postoperative pain at rest will be defined as the highest VAS pain score reported by each patient at any time. Pain score is from 0 (no hurt) to 10 (hurts worst).

    Measured: baseline, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 7th day postoperatively

  10. Highest VAS Pain Score during Exercise

    Post-operative pain scores during Exercise, as assessed by Visual Analog Pain Scale (VAS) will be the primary outcome measured. Postoperative pain during Exerciset will be defined as the highest VAS pain score reported by each patient at any time. Pain score is from 0 (no hurt) to 10 (hurts worst).

    Measured: baseline, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 7th day postoperatively
