About this study
An early mobilization (EM) program will be implemented in the Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit at the Jewish General Hospital (JGH), an academic tertiary hospital in Montreal, Quebec.
The investigators will perform a prospective, pre/post-EM intervention study in adults aged ≥60 years old admitted to the Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit (CICU) at the JGH. During a 3-month period, the investigators will prospectively enrol patients to the pre-intervention cohort. The EM intervention will then be implemented. During a 12-month period, the investigators will prospectively enrol patients to the intervention cohort. 1 and 12 months following hospital discharge, patients in the pre-intervention and post-intervention cohorts will be contacted by phone by a member of the research team to assess for functional status and quality of life measures.
The primary effectiveness outcome will be the mean improvement in level of function (LOF) during CICU admission and at 1 and 12 months. Covariates predicting improvement in LOF ("responsiveness") and ones which do not ("non-responsiveness") will be assessed. The recovery of physical function at 1 month and 6 months as measured by the SF-36 physical component summary score will be assessed. The SF-36 scores of the highest scoring tertile of LOF on hospital discharge will be compared with the lowest scoring tertile. Hospital readmission at 30 days and discharge home vs. healthcare facility will also be compared. For safety, the composite and individual components of the number of falls, injuries, and dislodgements over the total number of attempted mobility activities will be recorded. The results from the intervention cohort will be compared to the pre-intervention cohort for all results.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Early MobilizationOther
The EM program consists of a progression of functional activities from level of function (LOF) 0 (lowest mobility) to 5 (highest mobility). Each LOF has 3 primary activities designed to promote the patient to the next level. The nurse will begin with mobility activities based on the LOF that matches the patient's current status. The nurse and clinical partner will attempt and/or complete each LOF activity once per shift.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Mean change in Level of Function (LOF) scale score during CICU admission and 1 and 12 months post-hospitalization
The mean improvement change in the Level of Function scale score in patients undergoing early mobilization. The Level of Function scale measures mobility and ranges from 0 (bed immobile) to 5 (walking more than 20 meters), with higher scores indicating better mobility.
Measured: Duration of Cardiac Intensive Care Unit stay (average 4 days) and 1 and 12 months post-hosptialization
Secondary outcomes (2)
Recovery of physical function
Recovery of physical function at 1 month and 12 months as measured by the Short Form (SF)-36 physical component summary score (measures 8 subscales: physical functioning, physical role, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, emotional role and mental health). The score range is from 0 to 100 and scores are calibrated so that 50 is the average score. Higher scores mean less disability.
Measured: 1 month and 12 months.
Recovery of functional ability
The recovery of functional ability at 1 month and 12 months as measured by the Level of Function scale score. The Level of Function scale measures mobility and ranges from 0 (bed immobile) to 5 (walking more than 20 meters), with higher scores indicating better mobility.
Measured: 1 month and 12 months

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
An early mobilization (EM) program will be implemented in the Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit at the Jewish General Hospital (JGH), an academic tertiary hospital in Montreal, Quebec.
The investigators will perform a prospective, pre/post-EM intervention study in adults aged ≥60 years old admitted to the Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit (CICU) at the JGH. During a 3-month period, the investigators will prospectively enrol patients to the pre-intervention cohort. The EM intervention will then be implemented. During a 12-month period, the investigators will prospectively enrol patients to the intervention cohort. 1 and 12 months following hospital discharge, patients in the pre-intervention and post-intervention cohorts will be contacted by phone by a member of the research team to assess for functional status and quality of life measures.
The primary effectiveness outcome will be the mean improvement in level of function (LOF) during CICU admission and at 1 and 12 months. Covariates predicting improvement in LOF ("responsiveness") and ones which do not ("non-responsiveness") will be assessed. The recovery of physical function at 1 month and 6 months as measured by the SF-36 physical component summary score will be assessed. The SF-36 scores of the highest scoring tertile of LOF on hospital discharge will be compared with the lowest scoring tertile. Hospital readmission at 30 days and discharge home vs. healthcare facility will also be compared. For safety, the composite and individual components of the number of falls, injuries, and dislodgements over the total number of attempted mobility activities will be recorded. The results from the intervention cohort will be compared to the pre-intervention cohort for all results.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Physical Activity and Older Adults, run by Lady Davis Institute at 1 site in Canada.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Oct 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Mean change in Level of Function (LOF) scale score during CICU admission and 1 and 12 months post-hospitalization (time frame: Duration of Cardiac Intensive Care Unit stay (average 4 days) and 1 and 12 months post-hosptialization). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Oct 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
