About this study

Official title: Perioperative Optimization With Enhanced Recovery: The Effect of Health Habits on Surgical Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Major Abdominal Operations

This is a randomized controlled trial examining the effect of a motivational interview and perioperative mobile-app based nutrition and exercise intervention on surgical outcomes. The hypothesis is that such an intervention will improve surgical outcomes. Patients who are planned to undergo major elective abdominal surgery will be randomized to standard care or the nutrition/exercise intervention. This intervention consists of a mobile-app based coaching program to encourage patients to exercise and adopt a Mediterranean diet in the 3+ weeks prior to surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Surgical Complications occurring in the 90 day post-operative period, measured by the comprehensive complication index

    The comprehensive complication index is an integrated score from 0 to 100 of all complications occurring in a specified time period and their severities as categorized by Clavien-Dindo classification. Calculation of the CCI is via a web-based calculator (www.assessurgery.com).

    Measured: 90 days after surgery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change in 6 minute walk test

    Participants will be asked to walk as fast they can for 6 minutes using a validated mobile application (Timed Walk) to measure the distance walked.

    Measured: It will take about 6 minutes to assess, and this will be performed at enrollment, right before surgery, and at 30 and 90 days after surgery

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?

Surgical Complications occurring in the 90 day post-operative period, measured by the comprehensive complication index (time frame: 90 days after surgery). 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 NCT04504266, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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.
