STRONG for Surgery & Strong for Life - Intensive Prehabilitation for Risk Reduction in Ventral Hernia Repair
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Prehabilitation (the STRONG programme): Participants screened positive for one or more SNAP factors and randomised to the intervention group will receive an individualised plan for prehabilitation of their specific SNAP factors.
Study summary
The five risky lifestyles Smoking, Nutrition (obesity and malnutrition), risky Alcohol intake, and Physical inactivity (SNAP) are common in surgical patients and associated with worse postoperative outcomes. Mono-factor interventions targeting and improving these risky lifestyles have been shown to reduce the risk at surgery, but there is a lack of systematic assessment of all five lifestyles of the patient before surgery and related optimization.
This study aims to evaluate the effect of intensive combined lifestyle interventions (the STRONG programme) compared with treatment as usual in patients undergoing ventral hernia repair on postoperative complications, health, and costs on short and longer term.
The hypothesis is that the STRONG programme will halve the complication rates within 30 days.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Postoperative complications within 30 days — 30 days
Number and proportion of participants with at least one postoperative complication defined by requiring treatment
