Clinical Trial Summary

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.


Clinical Trial Description

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, urologic surgery, and cardiovascular procedures. 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. ;
