简要总结
Osteoarthritis leads to reduced independence and quality of life. Total hip replacement is a successful and cost-effective surgical intervention to relieve pain and improve functioning in patients with osteoarthritis. Research has shown that preoperative health status strongly predicts outcomes including physical function and hospitalization length after hip replacement surgery. Frail patients, in particular, are at greater risk of poor postoperative outcomes and could potentially benefit from interventions targeting an improvement in their health status prior to undergoing a hip or knee replacement surgery. Partnering with the YMCA and a multi-disciplinary team of healthcare providers, this pilot trial will examine the feasibility of a multi-modal intervention for frail patients that includes a supervised exercise program, vitamin D and protein supplementation, and a medication review. The results of this feasibility study will guide the design of a future multi-centre study, which if successful, could be developed into a routine model of care that is implemented in joint replacement programs across Ontario and ultimately improving the lives of frail seniors undergoing hip or knee replacement.
详细描述
Study Design: The proposed study is a pilot randomized controlled trial comparing a pre-operative multi-modal intervention and standard care among pre-frail/frail patients undergoing total hip or knee replacement surgery. Pre-frail (score of 1 or 2) or frail (score of 3-5; Fried Frailty Phenotype) patients, ≥ 60 years undergoing elective unilateral total hip or knee replacement after at least 3 months will be recruited from the practices of 8 orthopedic surgeons (Hamilton Arthroplasty Group).
A research assistant (RA) will conduct the eligibility screening at the Regional Joint Assessment Program (Hamilton Health Sciences) and St. Joseph's Healthcare, Hamilton, ON during an appointment (3-9 months prior to surgery). Patients with renal insufficiency, a neuromuscular disorder, active cancer or any inflammatory arthritis will be excluded.
Stratified block randomization will be used to randomly allocate participants to the intervention or usual care arms of the study. The allocation sequence will be computer generated using Statistical Analysis Software (SAS) 9.3. Once the study RA confirms the patient's eligibility, and obtain consent, the RA will inform the research coordinator (RC) who will randomize the participant using Red Cap randomization list. Then the RC will call the participants to inform them if they fall in the intervention or control group and arrange the first visit.
Multi-Modal Frailty Intervention (3-9 months). Exercise: A Registered physiotherapist will develop an individualized exercise program and schedule appointments with the patient at home including goal setting discussion. Participants will be offered free YMCA membership to participate in the IN Motion program.The IN Motion program is designed for older adults and include gentle fit, hydrotherapy and walk fit classes along with health education sessions. Participants will be taught how to monitor their own heart rate and level of exertion using the Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion 10-point Scale. All participants will be encouraged to exercise at least 3 times per week for 45-60 minutes either at home and/or at YMCA IN Motion classes. The home exercise will incorporate aerobic, resistance training, flexibility and balance components. Patients will be provided with and asked to keep an exercise log-book.
