Do exercise and nutrition interventions improve perioperative outcomes in adults undergoing elective major surgery?
While early results for prehabilitation and nutritional support before major surgery are encouraging, definitive large-scale clinical evidence is still needed.
Studies evaluating exercise and nutrition interventions before elective major surgery in adults are producing encouraging early results, but definitive clinical evidence is currently very limited. Future research should focus on refining interventions, exploring mechanism, and evaluating the interactions between therapies and large-scale clinical effectiveness studies.
West et al. (Tue,) studied this question.
