ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between responsiveness to prehabilitation and postoperative recovery of physical function in cardiac surgery patients.METHODS:
Ninety-three cardiac surgery patients (mean age 76.4â¯years) were included in this retrospective cohort study. Preoperative physical function was measured using the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), and a prehabilitation exercise program was implemented for the SPPB domains with low scores. Among the patients, those whose SPPB score was over 11 from the start of prehabilitation and remained over 11 on the day before surgery were defined as the high-functioning group, and those whose SPPB score improved by 2 points or more from the start of prehabilitation and exceeded 11 points were defined as the responder group. Those whose SPPB score did not exceed 11 immediately before surgery were classified as non-responders. The characteristics of each group and postoperative recovery of physical function were investigated.RESULTS:
There were no serious adverse events during prehabilitation. Mean days of prehabilitation was 5.4â¯days. The responder group showed faster improvement in postoperative physical function and shorter time to ambulatory independence than the non-responder group. The non-responder group had lower preoperative skeletal muscle index, more severe preoperative New York Heart Association classification, and a history of musculoskeletal disease or stroke.CONCLUSION:
There were responders and non-responders to prehabilitation among cardiac surgery patients. Cardiac surgery patients who respond to prehabilitation had faster recovery of physical function. Further research is needed to determine what type of prehabilitation is more effective in postoperative recovery of physical function in cardiac surgery patients.
