Do higher Fitbit step counts during inpatient recovery predict lower risk of readmission in patients after surgery for metastatic peritoneal cancer?
Passively monitoring perioperative ambulation using step counts may help identify patients at risk for readmission after cancer surgery.
Higher Fitbit step counts during inpatient recovery predicted lower risk of 30- and 60-day readmission after surgery for metastatic peritoneal cancer. Results suggest that passively monitoring perioperative ambulation may identify patients at risk for readmission and highlight opportunities for behavioral intervention.
