NCT05961813

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess efficacy of an intensive pre-surgical intervention to quit smoking in smoking patients who will be operated on implant orthopedic surgery or general and urological surgery. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are:

  • Evaluate the efficacy of intensive pre surgical intervention to quit smoking compared to a brief intervention
  • Evaluate the implementation of this protocol. Participants will be randomized to 2 intervention groups (patients programmed for protesic implant orthopedic surgery in the first group, and general and urological surgery) and 2 control groups (stratified in the same manner as the intervention groups), and will be monitored through telematic check ups via phone calls.

Study Arms (4)

Intervention group in protesic implant orthopedic surgery

EXPERIMENTAL

58 patients programmed for knee or hip replacement surgeries, or spinal arthrodesis surgery who will be sent to a specialized preventive medicine consult to quit smoking.

Behavioral: Intensive intervention for smoking cessation

Intervention group in general and urological surgery

EXPERIMENTAL

58 patients programmed for colorrectal surgery due to colorrectal cancer, cistectomy, radical prostatectomy and partial or total nefrectomy, who will be sent to a specialized preventive medicine consult to quit smoking.

Behavioral: Intensive intervention for smoking cessation

Control group in protesic implant orthopedic surgery

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

58 patients programmed for knee or hip replacement surgeries, or spinal arthrodesis surgery who will receive a brief intervention for smoking cessation.

Behavioral: Brief intervention for smoking cessation

Control group in general and urological surgery

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

58 programmed for colorrectal surgery due to colorrectal cancer, cistectomy, radical prostatectomy and partial or total nefrectomy, who will receive a brief intervention for smoking cessation.

Behavioral: Brief intervention for smoking cessation

Interventions

Patients will be given a brochure and presentation on smoking cessation and will complete 6 visits (2 before surgical intervention, 4 visits within the following 12 months), as well as follow up phone calls for progressi monitorization.

Intervention group in general and urological surgeryIntervention group in protesic implant orthopedic surgery

Patients will be given a brochure and presentation on smoking cessation 4 weeks before surgery, as well as follow up phone calls for progressi monitorization.
