RESUMO
Background and Objective: Interstitial lung disease (ILD) encompasses several diverse pulmonary pathologies that result in abnormal diffuse parenchymal changes. When prescribing rehabilitation, several additional factors need to be considered as a result of aging, polypharmacy, and comorbidities manifested in ILD patients. This review aims to discuss issues related to frailty, skeletal muscle and cognitive function that limit physical activities in ILD patients. It will also highlight exercise training and propose complementary strategies for pulmonary rehabilitation. Methods: A literature search was performed in MEDLINE, CINAHL (inception to October 19th, 2022) using search terms based on concepts of: idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis or interstitial lung disease; frailty; muscular atrophy; skeletal muscle dysfunction; cognitive dysfunction; sleep quality; sleep disorders; anxiety disorders; or depressive disorders. After eligible texts were screened, additional references were included from references cited in the screened articles. Key Content and Findings: Frailty and skeletal muscle dysfunction are common in ILD. Weight loss, exhaustion, and anti-fibrotic medications can impact frailty, whereas physical inactivity, aging, corticosteroids and hypoxemia can contribute to sarcopenia (loss of muscle mass and function). Frailty is associated with worse clinical status, exercise intolerance, skeletal muscle dysfunction, and decreased quality of life in ILD. Sarcopenia appears to influence wellbeing and can potentially affect overall physical conditioning, cognitive function and the progression of ILD. Optimal assessment tools and effective strategies to prevent and counter frailty and sarcopenia need to be determined in ILD patients. Even though cognitive impairment is evident in ILD, its prevalence and underlying neurobiological model of contributing factors (i.e., inflammation, disease severity, cardiopulmonary status) requires further investigation. How ILD affects cognitive interference, motor control and consequently physical daily activities is not well defined. Strategies such as pulmonary rehabilitation, which primarily focuses on strength and aerobic conditioning have demonstrated improvements in ILD patient outcomes. Future incorporation of interval training and the integration of motor learning could improve transfer of rehabilitation strategies to daily activities. Conclusions: Numerous underlying etiologies of ILD contribute to frailty, skeletal muscle and cognitive function, but their respective neurobiologic mechanisms require further investigation. Exercise training increases physical measures, but complementary approaches may improve their applicability to improve daily activities.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Hospital-acquired disability (HAD) in patients who undergo living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) is expected to worsen physical functions due to inactivity during hospitalization. The aim of this study was to explore whether a decline in activities of daily living from hospital admission to discharge is associated with prognosis in LDLT patients, who once discharged from a hospital. METHODS: We retrospectively examined the relationship between HAD and prognosis in 135 patients who underwent LDLT from June 2008 to June 2018, and discharged from hospital once. HAD was defined as a decline of over 5 points in the Barthel Index as an activity of daily living assessment. Additionally, LDLT patients were classified into four groups: low or high skeletal muscle index (SMI) and HAD or non-HAD. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard models were used to evaluate the association between HAD and survival. RESULTS: HAD was identified in 47 LDLT patients (34.8%). The HAD group had a significantly higher all-cause mortality than the non-HAD group (log-rank: p < 0.001), and in the HAD/low SMI group, all-cause mortality was highest between the groups (log-rank: p < 0.001). In multivariable analysis, HAD was an independent risk factor for all-cause mortality (hazard ratio [HR]: 16.54; P < 0.001) and HAD/low SMI group (HR: 16.82; P = 0.002). CONCLUSION: HAD was identified as an independent risk factor for all-cause mortality suggesting that it could be a key component in determining prognosis after LDLT. Future larger-scale studies are needed to consider the overall new strategy of perioperative rehabilitation, including enhancement of preoperative physiotherapy programs to improve physical function.

The patient was a 72-year-old man with a chief complaint of abdominal pain. We performed laparoscopic left hemicolectomy of the colon after descending colon cancer ileus stenting, and postoperative pathology was pT4aN0M0, pStage â ¡b. In 1.5 years postoperatively, 2 liver metastases and 1 lymph node metastasis were found, and each was resected. Chemotherapy was initiated for multiple lung metastases. Genetic testing was positive for BRAF V600E mutation, and the patient received 8 mFOLFOXIRI plus bevacizumab therapy courses. After 15 5-FU plus LV plus bevacizumab courses, the patient had a brain infarction and lung metastasis reincreased. Chemotherapy was changed to encorafenib plus binimetinib plus cetuximab. On day 2, visual impairment was observed, and serous retinal detachment CTCAE Grade 2 was diagnosed. On day 7, the symptoms improved and one-step dose reduction was resumed. On day 2 of re-treatment, serous retinal detachment recurred and treatment was discontinued. On day 4 of re-treatment, the symptoms improved, another dose reduction was performed, and treatment was resumed. Since subjective MEK inhibitor-induced ocular symptoms are often minor, conducting an interview and early ophthalmologic diagnosis is recommended.

There are various interventions of rehabilitation on the bed, but these are time-consuming and cannot be performed for all patients. The purpose of this study was to identify the patients who require early mobilization based on the level of sedation. We retrospectively evaluated the data of patients who underwent physical therapy, ICU admission of > 48 h, and were discharged alive. Sedation was defined as using sedative drugs and a Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale score of < - 2. Multiple regression analysis was performed using sedation period as the objective variable, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and Spearman's rank correlation coefficient were performed. Of 462 patients admitted to the ICU, the data of 138 patients were analyzed. The Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score and non-surgery and emergency surgery cases were extracted as significant factors. The ROC curve with a positive sedation period of more than 3 days revealed the SOFA cutoff score was 10. A significant positive correlation was found between sedation period and the initial day on early mobilization. High SOFA scores, non-surgery and emergency surgery cases may be indicators of early mobilization on the bed in the ICU.

Physical deconditioning often occurs during the acute phase after cardiovascular surgery, and unassisted walking is required to achieve independence, to manage cardiac diseases, and to prevent recurrences. This study aims to investigate the characteristics of independent walking after cardiovascular surgery. We conducted a retrospective cohort study in patients who underwent cardiovascular surgeries (total of 567 patients): 153 in the coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) group, 312 in the heart valve surgery group, and 102 in the aortic surgery group. We evaluated the effect of each surgery group on the cardiac rehabilitation (CR) progression. The factors associated with independent walking were age, renal diseases, intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay, and post-operative respiratory complications in the CABG group. In the heart valve surgery group, the factors were New York Heart Association functional classification, renal and respiratory diseases, ICU length of stay, duration of mechanical ventilatory support, and post-operative cardiovascular and respiratory complications. In the aortic surgery group, these were ICU length of stay and acute kidney injury. The CR progression in patients who underwent aortic surgery was significantly longer than those who underwent CABG and heart valve surgery (p < 0.001). New intervention strategies are needed for patients with prolonged ICU stays.
RESUMO
The length of hospital stay is an important outcome measure in patients who have undergone pancreaticoduodenectomy. Although postoperative complications are known to adversely affect the length of hospital stay (LOS), the influence of early mobilization on LOS has not been clarified yet. This study aimed to examine the impact of the initial ambulation day, which is one of the components of early mobilization, on LOS after pancreaticoduodenectomy. We retrospectively enrolled patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy between January 2013 and December 2017. Postoperative complications were evaluated using the Clavien-Dindo classification (CDC) system. Patients were divided into two groups based on the median LOS (early and late-discharge groups) and compared to determine their characteristics. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed with LOS as the dependent variable. Patients in the late-discharge group were significantly older, had an initial ambulation delay, and had higher rates of advanced disease stages and a CDC grade ≥ IIIa than those in the early discharge group. In the multivariate logistic regression analysis, CDC grade ≥ IIIa, initial ambulation day, and age were found to be significant independent factors associated with LOS. Our results demonstrated that not only postoperative complications, but also the initial ambulation day, could affect LOS after pancreaticoduodenectomy, emphasizing the importance of early ambulation for patients who undergo this surgery.

Elderly patients awaiting lung resection surgery often have poor physical function, which puts them at a high risk of postoperative pulmonary complications. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of preoperative physical performance on postoperative pulmonary complications in patients awaiting lung resection surgery. In this prospective multicenter cohort study, the characteristics of patients and postoperative pulmonary complications were compared between subjects with low (<10) and high (≥10) Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) scores. Postoperative pulmonary complications were defined as over grade II in Clavien-Dindo classification system. We estimated the effects of physical performance on postoperative pulmonary complications using multivariable hierarchical logistic regression. The postoperative pulmonary complications were compared between 331 patients in the high and 33 patients in the low SPPB group. Patients in the low SPPB score group had a significantly higher rate of postoperative pulmonary complications (p < 0.001). Low SPPB score was associated with a higher risk of postoperative pulmonary complications (odds ratio, 8.80; p < 0.001). The SPPB is a clinically useful evaluation tool to assess surgical patients' physical performance. The low physical performance indicated by the SPPB may be predictive of postoperative pulmonary complications after lung resection surgery.Trial registration: Clinical Trials.

Purpose: We investigated, in patients who underwent lung resection for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the magnitude of early limitation in functional exercise capacity and the associations with pre- and postoperative factors. Methods: Consecutive patients with preoperative clinical stage I to IIIA NSCLC who underwent lung resection were prospectively enrolled. We measured functional exercise capacity (6-minute walk distance [6MWD]) and skeletal muscle strength (handgrip [HF] and quadriceps force [QF]) within 2 days prior to surgery and on day 7 postoperatively. Results: Two hundred eighteen participants were recruited (median age 69 years) of whom 49 developed postoperative complications (POCs). 6MWD was markedly decreased (514 m vs 469 m, P < .001); HF and QF were slightly decreased following surgery. Multiple linear regression showed that preoperative vital capacity (P < .01), QF (P < .05), the duration of chest tube drainage (P < .001), and presence of POCs (P < .05) were significant predictors. However, intraoperative factors were not significantly associated with the decline in 6MWD. Conclusions: These results suggest that patients with preoperative impairments in pulmonary function and muscle strength, and those who require prolonged chest tube drainage or develop POCs are likely to have impaired exercise capacity. Therefore, individual assessment and follow-up of patients with such factors is indicated.

AIM: Patients awaiting abdominal surgery are often malnourished, which puts them at a high risk of postoperative complications. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of preoperative nutritional status using the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) on postoperative complications and the course of recovery for patients undergoing abdominal surgery. METHODS: In this prospective multicenter cohort study, we enrolled patients awaiting abdominal surgery from November 2015 to December 2017. The characteristics of patients and postoperative complications were compared between participants (median age 71 years; interquartile range 66-78 years) with low GNRI (<98) values and high GNRI (≥98) values. Multivariate logistic regression was carried out to identify postoperative complications-related factors. RESULTS: A total of 366 patients who underwent abdominal surgery were assessed. Patients in the low GNRI group had a significantly higher rate of postoperative complications (P = 0.01), and longer length of hospital stay compared with those in the high GNRI group (P < 0.01). Using multivariate analysis, low GNRI was found to be independently associated with postoperative complications (OR 2.50; P = 0.02) and activities of daily living on postoperative day 7 (OR 1.39; P = 0.03). Comorbidities, handgrip force for postoperative complications, age, preoperative chemotherapy and activities of daily living on postoperative day 7 were not independently associated. CONCLUSIONS: Malnutrition indicated by the GNRI might be predictive of postoperative complications after abdominal surgery and the delay of postoperative course. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2019; 19: 924-929.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of neuromuscular electrical stimulation on quadriceps muscle strength and thickness in liver transplantation patients. DESIGN: Phase-II, randomized, parallel-group, allocation-concealed, assessor-blinded, single-center controlled trial. SETTING: Inpatient rehabilitation sector. SUBJECTS: Patients following living donor liver transplantation. INTERVENTIONS: The quadriceps muscle stimulation and the control groups received bilateral muscle electrical stimulation on the quadriceps and tibialis anterior muscles, respectively. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation sessions in both groups were conducted for 30 minutes per session, once per day for five weekdays over four weeks by a physical therapist. MAIN MEASURES: Quadriceps muscle strength and quadriceps muscle thickness. RESULTS: Neuromuscular electrical stimulation was applied to the quadriceps muscles group ( n = 23) or the tibialis anterior muscle in the control group ( n = 22). The decrease in quadriceps muscle thickness differed significantly between both groups on postoperative day 30 (median -3 vs -8, P < 0.01). The changes in predicted quadriceps strength and 6 minutes walking distance were not significantly different between groups (quadriceps strength median -12% vs -5%, P = 0.40; 6 minutes walking distance median -18 vs -21 m, P = 0.74). CONCLUSION: Neuromuscular electrical stimulation of the quadriceps muscle for liver transplantation recipients was able to maintain the quadriceps muscle thickness after surgery. Future larger scale studies are needed to consider the effectiveness of neuromuscular electrical stimulation and how to incorporate this intervention in the overall strategy of the physical therapy program.

BACKGROUND: Esophagectomy performed via thoracotomy is associated with a high rate of postoperative pulmonary complications. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery at the esophagus (VATS-E) can reduce the rate of postoperative pulmonary complications. VATS-E is being increasingly implemented owing to its benefits. This procedure makes early patient mobilization possible, because there is minimal thoracic wall invasion, and thus, less postoperative pain. This study aimed to identify the efficacy of early mobilization in patients undergoing VATS-E. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the patients who underwent VATS-E between November 2008 and October 2016. All the patients underwent preoperative physiotherapy and postoperative early mobilization for standard perioperative management. We examined the relation between early mobilization and the factors affecting postoperative pulmonary complications and the duration of physiotherapy with regard to the surgical outcome of VATS-E. RESULTS: A total of 118 patients who underwent VATS-E were assessed. The incidence of postoperative pulmonary atelectasis decreased with early mobilization, and earlier mobilization was associated with a better decrease (P < 0.001). Multiple logistic regression analysis identified the percentage of volume capacity [odds ratio (OR) 0.96; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.93-0.99] and initial walking (OR 1.82; 95% CI 1.40-2.48) as independent risk factors for postoperative pulmonary atelectasis. In addition, the presence or absence of atelectasis was found to reduce the necessary period of physiotherapy (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Our results indicated that early mobilization reduces the incidence of postoperative pulmonary atelectasis, which may also contribute to early recovery in patients who undergo VATS-E.

BACKGROUND: In cardiothoracic and abdominal surgery, postoperative complications remain major clinical problems. Early mobilization has been widely practiced and is an important component in preventing complications, including orthostatic hypotension (OH) during postoperative management. We investigated cardiovascular response during early mobilization and the incidence of OH after cardiothoracic and abdominal surgery. METHODS: In this prospective observational study, we consecutively analyzed data from 495 patients who underwent elective cardiothoracic and abdominal surgery. We examined the incidence of OH, and the independent risk factors associated with OH during early mobilization after major surgery. Multivariate logistic regression was performed using various characteristics of patients to identify OH-related independent factors. RESULTS: OH was observed in 191 (39%) of 495 patients. The incidence of OH in cardiac, thoracic, and abdominal groups was 39 (33%) of 119, 95 (46%) of 208, and 57 (34%) of 168 patients, respectively. Male sex (OR 1.538; p = 0.03) and epidural anesthesia (OR 2.906; p < 0.001) were independently associated with OH on multivariate analysis. CONCLUSIONS: These results demonstrate that approximately 40% patients experience OH during early mobilization after cardiothoracic and abdominal surgery. Sex was identified as an independent factor for OH during early mobilization after all three types of surgeries, while epidural anesthesia was only identified after thoracic surgery. Therefore, the frequent occurrence of OH during postoperative early mobilization should be recognized.

The esophagectomy for esophageal cancer is major surgery and has the highest rate of postoperative pulmonary complications. Respiratory physiotherapy in patients undergoing esophagectomy has been applied to improve oxygenation and airway secretion clearance. Recently, the utility and effectiveness of enhanced recovery after surgery for gastroenterological surgery have been reported in Japan, and patients should be encouraged to participate in early mobilization. Perioperative rehabilitation which includes early mobilization reduces postoperative complications and improves fast-track recovery after esophagectomy. These interventions play important role in postoperative care.
