CANOPTIPHYS
CanOptiPhys - Optimizing Physical function before surgery: effects on complications and physical function after gastrointestinal Cancer surgey in older people at risk.
This project is an extension of the previous Better in Better out project, see publications below.
The study is a joint study between ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡, Karolinska University Hospital, South General Hospital, Ersta Hospital, Academic Primary Health Care Center and RISE Research Institute of Sweden.
Patients are recruited at the hospital when a decision about surgery has been set. The intervention in the RCT is performed in the older person’s home, led by physiotherapists working in primary care. The intervention consists of a combination of respiratory training and individually adjusted functional exercise, which has not been evaluated previously. If the study shows positive effects, it can be of great importance for older persons’ independence and quality of life as well as from a socioeconomic perspective.
Recruitment of participants ended in June, 2023 and analyses are ongoing.
