NCT04504266

Brief Summary

This is a randomized controlled trial examining the effect of a motivational interview and perioperative mobile-app based nutrition and exercise intervention on surgical outcomes. The hypothesis is that such an intervention will improve surgical outcomes. Patients who are planned to undergo major elective abdominal surgery will be randomized to standard care or the nutrition/exercise intervention. This intervention consists of a mobile-app based coaching program to encourage patients to exercise and adopt a Mediterranean diet in the 3+ weeks prior to surgery.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Surgical Complications occurring in the 90 day post-operative period, measured by the comprehensive complication index

    The comprehensive complication index is an integrated score from 0 to 100 of all complications occurring in a specified time period and their severities as categorized by Clavien-Dindo classification. Calculation of the CCI is via a web-based calculator (www.assessurgery.com).

    90 days after surgery

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in 6 minute walk test

    It will take about 6 minutes to assess, and this will be performed at enrollment, right before surgery, and at 30 and 90 days after surgery

Study Arms (2)

Control Arm

NO INTERVENTION

Recommendations to follow Mediterranean diet and exercise regularly before surgery.
