Does prehabilitation reduce length of stay and severe complications in frail, older and high-risk adult patients undergoing major abdominal surgery?
Does prehabilitation reduce length of stay and severe complications in frail, older and high-risk adult patients undergoing major abdominal surgery?
Prehabilitation should be encouraged in frail, older, and high-risk adult patients undergoing major abdominal surgery to shorten length of stay and reduce severe complications.
Supports prehabilitation in frail older high-risk patients before major abdominal surgery; extends Level 1 evidence for routine integration into surgical pathways.
Given the significant impact on shortening length of stay and reducing severe complications, prehabilitation should be encouraged in frail, older and high-risk adult patients undergoing major abdominal surgery.
