简要总结
The STRIVE Before Surgery Trial evaluates three pragmatic elements (recruitment, adherence, and follow-up) associated with participating in a home-based multimodal prehabilitation program supported through an online platform. Half of the participants will be randomized into the prehabilitation group, while the other half will be randomized into the control group.
详细描述
Background: The number of people presenting for surgery, and their risk profile, are increasing. People presenting for surgery face substantial risk of postoperative adverse events. Fifteen to 30% of patients suffer a serious medical or surgical complication after surgery, and 1 in 5 develop a new patient-reported disability that reflects a loss of independence in day-to-day life. More than 1.4 million inpatient surgical procedures are performed in Canada each year. Globally, >300 million surgical procedures occur annually. As an increasing number of people present for surgery, the average risk profile of this population is rising. Surgical patients are typically older and live with comorbidity. This means that strategies to improve patient outcomes and reduce resource utilization are urgently needed. Patients, the public, clinicians, and policy makers participating in 2 separate James Lind Alliance Priority Setting Partnerships (Canada & UK) identified prehabilitation as a Top 10 priority for perioperative research. Furthermore, prehabilitation is currently discussed in the popular media as a strategy to improve outcomes for the growing number of high-risk patients presenting for surgery.
Overarching Aim: The STRIVE Before Surgery Trial will evaluate three pragmatic elements (recruitment, adherence, and follow-up) that our experience in prehabilitation research demonstrate are necessary to support successful, large-scale evaluation. The investigators will concurrently use implementation science methodology to further refine processes for the larger trial. As this is a vanguard pilot trial, data from this trial will be combined with the future, large-scale trial.
Methods:
Design, setting and participants: The STRIVE Before Surgery Trial is an assessor blinded multicenter individual patient parallel-arm vanguard pragmatic randomized controlled trial.
People => 18 years old having inpatient abdominal, thoracic, pelvic, head-and-neck or vascular surgery with expected length of stay of => 2 days will be included.

研究组 & 干预措施
Intervention
The intervention includes 3 aspects (exercise, nutrition and breathing). Our intervention is a home-based multimodal prehabilitation program supported through an online platform.
干预措施: Prehabilitation intervention (Behavioral)
Control
To support blinding, improve enrollment and reflect usual care, widely available physical activity (World Health Organization Recommendations for Physical Activity for ages 18-64 and >65) and healthy eating recommendations (Canada's Food Guide Snapshot) documents will be provided to control participants (without active or online support).
结局指标
主要结局
Intervention adherence
时间窗: pre-surgery
The proportion of prescribed prehabilitation tasks adhered to
Retention
时间窗: 1 month, year 1
The proportion of participants retained at 30-day patient-reported follow up will be calculated with a 95% confidence interval based on Wilson's method.
Monthly recruitment
时间窗: 1 year
Recruited patients per center per month will be analyzed descriptively to generate a mean and standard deviation. Recruitment feasibility will be judged based on criteria pre-established that consider the number of available, committed sites in Ontario.
Elicitation of patient, clinician and researcher-identified barriers
时间窗: 1 year
For each target group, the frequency of domains identified as barriers will be calculated.
Patient-reported disability using the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 (WHODAS) (to be merged with larger trial)
时间窗: 1 month, 3 month, 1 year
The WHODAS is a patient-reported disability scale that assesses limitations in six major life domains (i.e., cognition, mobility, self-care, social interaction, life activities, participation in society). Each questionnaire item is scored on a Likert scale ranging from 0 to 4. The sum of the responses is the WHODAS Disability Score (range: 0 to 48), which is expressed as a percentage of the maximum possible score
