Abstract

BACKGROUND: Although surgery is commonly regarded as the primary curative treatment for colorectal cancer, it could potentially be associated with postoperative morbidity and mortality. OBJECTIVE: To determine the pooled effect of exercise and multidisciplinary prehabilitation interventions on postoperative hospital length of stay and functional capacity in patients undergoing resection of colorectal cancer. DATA SOURCES: A systematic search was conducted in MEDLINE (via PubMed) and Web of Science databases from inception to November 2022. STUDY SELECTION: The original systematic search retrieved 2005 studies. After the removal of duplicates and screening by title and abstract, 77 eligible full-text documents were evaluated for final inclusion in the meta-analysis. A total of 12 randomized controlled trials, 5 nonrandomized controlled trials, and 3 uncontrolled before-and-after studies were selected. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Postoperative hospital length of stay (in days) and functional capacity (assessed with the peak of oxygen consumption [VO 2 peak] and 6-minute walking test) were the outcome measures. RESULTS: The meta-analysis was conducted on 20 studies (3805 participants). Randomized controlled trials and nonrandomized controlled trials showed significant reductions in postoperative hospital length of stay (d = –0.10, nearly 2 days) and significant incremental improvements in VO 2 peak (d = 0.27) and 6-minute walking test (d = 0.31). Regarding the before-and-after studies, the pooled effect of multidisciplinary prehabilitation interventions was positively significant for VO 2 peak (d = 0.29) and 6-minute walking test (d = 0.29). There was no risk of publication bias (Egger test: p > 0.05), with a score of 0.71 (0–1) on average. LIMITATIONS: There was a high between-studies heterogeneity, and several outcomes did not have the required number of studies for a desirable statistical power. CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that multidisciplinary prehabilitation interventions might be effective at decreasing postoperative hospital length of stay (nearly 2 days) and improving functional capacity. REGISTRATION: PROSPERO registration number CRD42022373982.

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.
