Overview

Certain prehabilitation may shorten stay and reduce complications in elective surgery; low-certainty evidence from 178 RCTs leaves optimal components open.

Systematic Review

Structured PICO

Do pre-admission interventions (prehabilitation) improve postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing elective surgery?

P
Population
Protocol for a systematic review of adult patients undergoing elective surgery to evaluate the impact of pre-admission interventions on postoperative outcomes.
I
Intervention
Pre-admission interventions (prehabilitation) including physical activity, nutritional, educational, psychological, clinical or multicomponent
O
Outcome
Postoperative outcomes (including postoperative complications, length of hospital stay, and patient's recovery)

This protocol outlines a systematic review to evaluate the effectiveness of prehabilitation interventions on postoperative outcomes in elective surgery.

Limitations

  • This is a study protocol and does not contain clinical results.
  • Anticipated difficulty in blinding participants and healthcare professionals in trials involving physical activity, dietary, or psychological interventions.
  • Potential for high clinical and statistical heterogeneity across included trials due to varying interventions and surgical populations.

Cite This Study

Perry et al. (2016) conducted a systematic review in Elective surgery. Pre-admission interventions (prehabilitation) vs. No intervention or usual care was evaluated on Postoperative complications (infective and non-infective), length of hospital stay, and all-cause perioperative mortality (30 days). Pre-admission interventions (prehabilitation) will be evaluated in this systematic review protocol to determine their effectiveness on postoperative outcomes in adults undergoing elective surgery.
