About this trial

The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the multimodal prehabilitation program at the Siriraj Integrated Preoperative and Prehabilitation Center (SiPAP) on improving preoperative walking capacity and functional status in patients undergoing elective intraabdominal cancer surgery. The main question it aims to answer is:

\- Does the prehabilitation program lead to a significant change in 6-minute walk distance (6MWD) at preoperative admission as compared to at baseline assessment? Participants will receive the structured multimodal prehabilitation program, which represents the standard of care for patients in the ERAS protocol at the study site. Outcomes will be measured at preoperative admission and at 1 and 3 months after surgery.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Diagnosed with intraabdominal malignancy (e.g., colorectal, esophageal, gastric, pancreatic, hepatic, biliary tract, urinary bladder, or endometrial malignancies).

Schedules for elective major surgery and formally enrollment in the ERAS program at Siriraj Hospital. (at Siriraj Hospital, patients scheduled for pre-specific elective major surgeries are enrolled into the ERAS program as individual hospital protocols for each ERAS module. All patients are informed about the ERAS program by their surgical team.)

Referred to the SiPAP center for prehabilitation in accordance with the ERAS preoperative protocol, with a minimum preoperative time of 14 days before the scheduled surgery date.

Able to understand the study protocol and provide written informed consent.

Disqualifiers

Have emergency surgery

Reschedule the surgery for an earlier date, allowing less than 14 days for prehabilitation.

Severe cardiopulmonary or musculoskeletal conditions that contraindicate exercise (e.g., unstable angina, decompensated heart failure, severe COPD, or orthopedic disability).

Cognitive impairment or psychiatric illness precluding participation in prehabilitation.

Trial population

The patients who enroll to Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) program, Siriraj Hospital and referred to the SiPAP program.

Time frame
Preoperative period and postoperative period (1 and 3 months)

Secondary outcomes

1

Dominant handgrip strength

Dominant handgrip strength in kilogram

Time frame
Preoperative period and postoperative period (1 and 3 months)
2

Lower limb strength, balance, and functional mobility

Lower limb strength, balance, and functional mobility quantified by time (seconds) use during Five-time chair stand test

Time frame
Preoperative period and postoperative period (1 and 3 months)
3

Functional capacity

Functional capacity status in metabolic equivalents (METs) using Duke Activity Status Index (DASI): score ranged 0 - 58.2

Time frame
Preoperative period and postoperative period (1 and 3 months)
