Why the study?
Postoperative complications remain structurally high and costly, yet limited attention has been directed toward modifiable patient-related risk factors such as aerobic fitness before surgery.
Does prehabilitation reduce postoperative complications in patients undergoing major surgery?
Does prehabilitation reduce postoperative complications in patients undergoing major surgery?
Prehabilitation is an important tertiary prevention strategy that optimizes patient fitness before surgery to reduce postoperative complications.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
