The PREPARE for Cancer Surgery Study (NCT06503185)
Multimodal PReoperative Exercise to Decrease PostoperAtive Disability, Cancer RecurrencE and Mortality in Older People With Frailty
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Our team recently closed recruitment for the PREPARE Trial: PReoperative Exercise to decrease PostoperAtive complication Rates and disability scorEs. The trial enrolled a total of 850 participants; 523 of which were recruited locally at The Ottawa Hospital (TOH). Of the 523 enrolled at TOH, 413 patient participants were on the pathway for cancer surgery and have either completed the study or are in follow-up (participants who withdrew from the full study have been excluded from the sample size in this sub-study proposal). Unexpectedly, almost 80% of the PREPARE Trial sample was linked to cancer surgery - most likely because cancer surgeries were prioritized during the pandemic. This provides us with the opportunity, and perhaps the responsibility, to specifically assess oncology related outcomes. We propose to follow this TOH sub-group of oncology patients for five years following their surgical date, by retrospectively collecting clinical and health administrative data at annual timepoints.
