Prehabilitation in adult patients undergoing surgery: an umbrella review of systematic reviews
Open accessAbstract
BACKGROUND The certainty that prehabilitation improves postoperative outcomes is not clear. The objective of this umbrella review (i.e. systematic review of systematic reviews) was to synthesise and evaluate evidence for prehabilitation in improving health, experience, or cost outcomes. METHODS We performed an umbrella review of prehabilitation systematic reviews. MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, PsycINFO, Joanna Briggs Institute's database, and Web of Science were searched (inception to October 20, 2020). We included all systematic reviews of elective, adult patients undergoing surgery and exposed to a prehabilitation intervention, where health, experience, or cost outcomes were reported. Evidence certainty was assessed using Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation. Primary syntheses of any prehabilitation were stratified by surgery type. RESULTS From 1412 titles, 55 systematic reviews were included. For patients with cancer undergoing surgery who participate in any prehabilitation, moderate certainty evidence supports improvements in functional recovery. Low to very low certainty evidence supports reductions in complications (mixed, cardiovascular, and cancer surgery), non-home discharge (orthopaedic surgery), and length of stay (mixed, cardiovascular, and cancer surgery). There was low to very low certainty evidence that exercise prehabilitation reduces the risk of complications, non-home discharge, and length of stay. There was low to very low certainty evidence that nutritional prehabilitation reduces risk of complications, mortality, and length of stay. CONCLUSIONS Low certainty evidence suggests that prehabilitation may improve postoperative outcomes. Future low risk of bias, randomised trials, synthesised using recommended standards, are required to inform practice. Optimal patient selection, intervention design, and intervention duration must also be determined.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
In the citing paper
“most available systematic reviews are rated as low quality1 16 and have not included patient and public perspectives.1”
In the citing paper
“Reviews typically estimate one effect for either a single prehabilitation component (eg, exercise only) or pool heterogeneous interventions together.1 14 17 18”
In the citing paper
“However, the overall certainty of benefit is low for several reasons.1”
In the citing paper
“Many reviews,11 12 13 14 including an umbrella review that synthesised 55 unique systematic reviews,1 suggest that prehabilitation may have protective effects in reducing complications, length of stay, and improving functional recovery.”
In the citing paper
“While this uncertainty is multifactorial, leading contributors are a lack of rigour in conduct of existing reviews, use of quantitative methods that do not align with the multicomponent nature of prehabilitation interventions, and risk of bias at the trial level.1”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
