Perioperative Optimization With Enhanced Recovery
Not Recruiting
Trial ID: NCT04504266
Purpose
This is a randomized controlled trial examining the effect of a motivational interview and
perioperative mobile-app based nutrition and exercise intervention on surgical outcomes. The
hypothesis is that such an intervention will improve surgical outcomes. Patients who are
planned to undergo major elective abdominal surgery will be randomized to standard care or
the nutrition/exercise intervention. This intervention consists of a mobile-app based
coaching program to encourage patients to exercise and adopt a Mediterranean diet in the 3+
weeks prior to surgery.
