We will assess the feasibility of delivering a multicomponent prehabilitation, which consists of exercise (supervised by physical therapist), nutritional intervention (nutritional supplement and group education), meditation (group class), and cognitive behavioral intervention over 3-4 weeks before major elective abdominal, gynecological oncologic, and urologic surgery. We will also measure patient-centered outcomes (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System) at 30 and 90 days after surgery. The target enrollment is 30 patients.
The purpose of this pilot study is to assess the feasibility of delivering a multicomponent prehabilitation and measuring patient-centered outcomes in older adults undergoing major surgery.
