About

Non-randomized monocentric open cohort study vs historical comparative group testing the efficacy of a multimodal prehabilitation program (based on physical activity, nutritional support and mental preparation) for unfit patients based on nutrition, physical activity and mental preparation in reducing postoperative complications in elective major surgery

Full description

Prehabilitation programs essentially based on physical activity improvement may reduce postoperative complications after major surgery. We hypothesize that a multimodal program based on physical activity, nutritional support and mental preparation may not only improve postoperative recovery and reduce costs but also improve health status beyond postoperative period.

Non-randomized monocentric open cohort study vs historical comparative group testing the efficacy of a multimodal prehabilitation program for unfit patients based on nutrition, physical activity and mental preparation in reducing postoperative complications in elective major surgery.

Other outcomes will be measured : length of hospital stay, hospital readmissions, direct costs, health status at 1 and 6 months.

Moreover, the feasibility and adherence of Paprika program will be evaluated. Inter-data centres relating to the implementation of the same prehabilitation program will be compared with the consortium Paprika (Hospital Clinic of Barcelona, University of Cologne, University of Gdansk)
