May flag readmission risk via inpatient steps after peritoneal cancer surgery; hypothesis-generating for prospective trials.
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.
Low et al. (2017) studied this question.
