Multimodal prehabilitation (Fit4Surgery) in high-impact surgery to enhance surgical outcomes: Study protocol of F4S PREHAB, a single center stepped wedge trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

High-impact surgery imposes a significant physiological and functional burden and is associated with substantial postoperative morbidity. Multimodal prehabilitation has demonstrated a reduction in postoperative complications and enhanced functional recovery, mainly in abdominal cancer surgery. Common preoperative risk factors shared among patients undergoing high-impact surgery, extending beyond abdominal cancer surgery procedures, suggest the relevance of multimodal prehabilitation to a broader patient population. This stepped wedge trial primarily aims to examine the hospital-wide effect of multimodal prehabilitation, compared to standard preoperative care, on the occurrence and severity of postoperative complications. Secondary and tertiary endpoints include length of
