Functional Prehabilitation and Major Elective Surgery

NCT01943773 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Study Summary

Purpose: To compare post-operative functional outcomes in patients undergoing preoperative functional prehabilitation versus standard of care preoperative management in older adults undergoing major elective operations. Hypothesis: Older adults undergoing preoperative functional prehabilitation (nine sessions of home physical therapy over three weeks) will have improved physical function and reduced delirium in comparison to usual preoperative care following major abdominal and thoracic operations. Specific Aims: (#1) To compare the difference in the timed up-and-go, Mini Mental Status Exam (MMSE), the de Morton Mobility Index, Modified Physical Performance Test (MPPT), and short physical performance battery scores in the control and intervention groups at the preoperative and initial assessment timepoints. (#2) To compare the difference in the timed up-and-go, Mini Mental Status Exam (MMSE), the de Morton Mobility Index, Modified Physical Performance Test (MPPT), and short physical performance battery scores in the control and intervention groups at the 60-days postoperative and the initial assessment timepoints. (#3)To compare the rates of ICU delirium and need for post-discharge institutionalization in patients in the control and interventions groups. (#4) To compare post-operative complications

What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT01943773

The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT01943773 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 16 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Colorado, Denver, which has 1,447 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.

The record links to 3 conditions, with Physical Therapy appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Functional Assessment is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.

Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT01943773 reports 2 study locations spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Colorado. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
