Prehabilitation in hepato-pancreato-biliary surgery: A systematic review and meta-analysis. A necessary step forward evidence-based sample size calculation for future trials - 29/09/22
Summary |
Introduction |
Prehabilitation is defined as preoperative conditioning of patients in order to improve post-operative outcomes. Some studies showed an increase in functional recovery following colorectal surgery, but its effect in hepato-pancreato-biliary (HPB) surgery is unclear. The aim of this study was to realize a systematic literature review and meta-analysis on the current available evidence on prehabilitation in HPB surgery.
Materials and methods |
A systematic review and a metanalysis were carried out on prehabilitation (physical, nutritional and psychological interventions) in HPB surgery (2009-2019). Assessed outcomes were postoperative complications, length of stay (LOS), 30-day readmission, and mortality.
Main results |
Four studies among the 191 screened were included in this systematic review (3 randomized controlled trials, 1 case-control propensity score study), involving 419 patients (prehabilitation group, n=139; control group, n=280). After pooling, no difference was observed on LOS ((−4.37 days [95% CI: −8.86; 0.13]) or postoperative complications (RR 0.83 [95%CI: 0.62; 1.10]), reported by all the included studies. Two trials reported on readmission rate, but given the high heterogeneity, a meta-analysis was not realized. No deaths were reported among the included studies.
Conclusion |
No effect of prehabilitation programs in HPB surgery was observed on LOS or postoperative complications rate. Future trials with standardized outcomes of measure, and adequately powered samples calculations are thus required.
