What participants receive

  • Actiwatch 2 (Philips Respironics, Murrysville, USA)Device

    Actiwatch 2 is an unobtrusive, waterproof, light sensor and wrist-worn device (weight 16.0g, size 4.3 cm* 2.3 cm* 1.0 cm), containing a tri-axial accelerometer able to records a digitally integrated measure of gross motor activity (a piezoelectric sensor to detect vertical accelerations at the wrist between 0.5 and 2.0 g with a frequency response range between 0.35-7.5 Hz). Activity counts from the device reflect the peak acceleration detected over each epoch and are used in determining sleep and wake intervals, which can be used to rest-activity patterns, quality of physical activity and sleep for 15-60 seconds/ epoch, 24 hours/ day, 2 weeks.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Length of functional rehabilitation

    Investigators will calculate preperative Activity Counts per day as a baseline then being compared to postoperative Activity Counts per day until one day when both Counts is equal. Length of functional rehabilitation defines that duration from surgical day to the day when both Counts is equal.

    Measured: Through study completion, minimum 7 days

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Quality of recovery

    The translation of the Danish version of the postoperative quality of recovery scale QoR-15D is used to evaluate the quality of care.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 14 days

  2. The quantization of fatigue

    The Christensen Fatigue Scale (ChrFS) will be utilized to evaluate the degree of fatigue.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 14 days

  3. The quantization of pain

    The numeric rating scale (NRS) ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (excruciating pain) is used to score postoperative pain.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 14 days

  4. The quantization of vomiting.

    The numeric rating scale (NRS) ranging from 0 (nothing) to 10 (worest) is used to score postoperative vomiting.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 14 days

  5. The quantization of nausea.

    The numeric rating scale (NRS) ranging from 0 (nothing) to 10 (worest) is used to score postoperative nausea.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 14 days

  6. The quantization of Activity Counts

    Investigators will use Electric Devices to record Activity Counts per day. Activity counts will be classified as sedentary behavior (SB) < 1303 counts/min (cpm), low intensity physical activity (LIPA) 1303 cpm - < 2588 cpm, and moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) ≧2588 cpm.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 14 days

  7. Length of sleep time

    Investigators will use devices to record the specific sleep time for patients.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 14 days

  8. The quantization of morbidity

    The Clavien-Dindo Classification (CDC) is applied as a standard to grade the morbidity in 30 days after surgery.

    Measured: up to 30 days

  9. The quantization of mortality

    Investigators will investigate whether patients will experience unexpected death in 30 days after surgery

    Measured: up to 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Neoplasms and Rehabilitation, run by Copenhagen University Hospital, Rigshospitalet at 1 site in Denmark.

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 3 inclusion and 5 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 16 Aug 2021. 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 Denmark. 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?

Length of functional rehabilitation (time frame: Through study completion, minimum 7 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04502654, which also lists 15 linked publications.

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 16 Aug 2021.
