Effects of multimodal prehabilitation on surgery outcomes: prospective stepped-wedge, hospital-wide implementation study
Hospital-wide implementation of multimodal prehabilitation did not reduce postoperative complications or length of hospital stay. A greater effect in high-risk patients suggests a targeted approach may be more effective. Future research should identify such patients and evaluate effectiveness of prehabilitation in this population.
