About this study

Official title: Effect of Multimodal Prehabilitation on Clinical Outcomes in Patients With Tumor-Related Bowel Obstruction: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to establish a multimodal prehabilitation protocol suitable for patients with tumor-related bowel obstruction during the perioperative period, and to explore its safety and efficacy; to evaluate the impact of this protocol on short-term and long-term clinical outcomes and recovery indicators.The participants will be divided into two groups. The experimental group will receive an integrated program of preoperative multi-modal pre-rehabilitation intervention combined with postoperative immune nutrition support; the control group will receive traditional perioperative management for intestinal obstruction.

Being tested
Multimodal prehabilitation program, Standard six-step treatment, ERAS protocol

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Multimodal prehabilitation programBehavioural

    Multimodal prehabilitation program adopts a planned, structured, repeatable, and purposeful approach, encompassing exercise, nutrition, and psychological factors.

  • Standard six-step treatmentBehavioural

    The standard six-step treatment protocol refers to: decompression, nutritional supplementation, suppression of digestive fluid secretion, hormone therapy, diuresis, exercise, and promotion of intestinal peristalsis.

  • ERAS protocolBehavioural

    The core content is to adopt a series of optimized measures performed during the perioperative period on the basis of evidence-based medical findings to reduce the physiological and psychological stress of patients and to accelerate their recovery.

Study groups in NCT07767760
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Experimental groupExperimentalThe experimental group: on the basis of the standard six-step treatment model (decompression, adding nutrition, suppressing digestive fluid secretion, hormone, diuresis, and exercise and promoting intestinal peristalsis), a goal-directed multimodal prehabilitation intervention lasting 5 to 7 days will be superimposed and implemented during the preoperative hospitalization period, with contents including immunonutritional support, progressive physical training, and structured psychological counseling. Postoperatively, the standard perioperative Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol will be continued to be executed, and immunonutritional treatment will be strengthened.
Receives: Behavioral: Multimodal prehabilitation program; Behavioral: Standard six-step treatment; Behavioral: ERAS protocol
Control groupActive comparatorThe control group: preoperatively, only the standard six-step treatment protocol will be received. Postoperatively, standard Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol will be followed for perioperative management.
Receives: Behavioral: Standard six-step treatment; Behavioral: ERAS protocol

What is being measured

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

  1. Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI)

    Used to quantify the cumulative complication burden of individual patients. The calculation premise is to first grade each complication occurring within 30 days postoperatively according to the Clavien-Dindo Classification (CDC), then accumulate the corresponding "weight (wC)" of each complication, substitute into the formula for square root calculation and divide by 2, ultimately obtaining a continuous score from 0-100 (0 = no complications, 100 = death).

    Measured: Postoperative (≤30 days after surgery)

Secondary outcomes (12)
  1. The 30-day postoperative mortality

    30-day postoperative mortality defined as death within 30 days postoperatively or in-hospital death during hospitalization.

    Measured: POD 30(30 days after surgery)

  2. Complication occurrence during the preoperative observation and intervention period, remission rate of bowel obstruction after conservative treatment

    The complication occurrence defined as complications diagnosed after admission and occurring before surgery

    Measured: Baseline (T0), Post-intervention (At least 7 days),

  3. Preoperative and 30-day postoperative quality of life scores

    Health-related quality of life assessed using the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30). The questionnaire assesses 15 dimensions of HRQoL, including physical, psychological, and social functions.

    Measured: Baseline (T0), Post-intervention (at least 7 days), and POD 30(30 days after surgery)

  4. Nutritional status-hemoglobin, albumin, prealbumin levels

    Hemoglobin, albumin, and prealbumin levels are used to assess nutritional status.

    Measured: Baseline (T0), Post-intervention (at least 7 days), and POD 1, 3, 5, 30

  5. Immune status - CRP, NLR, CD4/CD8

    Inflammatory indicators, including C-reactive protein (CRP), the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and CD4/CD8, can reflect the level of inflammation.

    Measured: Baseline (T0), Post-intervention (at least 7 days), and POD 1, 3, 5, and 30.

  6. Functional capacity

    preoperative and 30-day postoperative 6-Minute Walk Test

    Measured: Baseline (T0), Post-intervention (at least 7 days), and POD 30(30 days after surgery)

  7. postoperative ICU stay

    Duration of postoperative ICU stay (hours), defined as time to transfer to icu for treatment after surgery.

    Measured: POD 30(30 days after surgery)

  8. The incidence and severity of complications within 30 days after the surgery

    Incidence and severity of complications within 30 days postoperatively (especially infectious complications) (all complications will be scored according to the Clavien-Dindo classification system)

    Measured: POD 30(30 days after surgery)

  9. Preoperative and 30-day postoperative psychological states

    Psychological states was measured by Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Higher scores indicate more severe anxiety or depression symptoms.

    Measured: Baseline (T0), Post-intervention (at least 7 days), and POD 30(30 days after surgery)

  10. mechanical ventilation time

    Measured: POD 30(30 days after surgery)

  11. postoperative pain severity

    The severity of postoperative pain is evaluated using the Visual Analog Scale for pain (VAS, 0 = no pain, 10 = most severe pain).

    Measured: POD 30(30 days after surgery)

  12. total hospitalization costs

    Measured: POD 30(30 days after surgery)
