Registered outcomes7
Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.
| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Six Minute Walk Test - Functional Capacity | Baseline 2-3 days before surgery and at hospital discharge up to 7 days postoperatively | Functional exercise capacity assessed by total distance walked in meters during 6-Minute Walk Test performed in a 30-meter corridor at self-paced speed . Heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation and perceived exertion recorded before and after test for safety. |
| Secondary | Heart Rate Recovery | Baseline 2-3 days before surgery, day before surgery, 24-48 hours after surgery, and at discharge up to 7 days | Difference between peak heart rate after exercise and heart rate after 1 minute of recovery as indicator of autonomic function |
| Secondary | Hand Grip Strength | Baseline 2-3 days before surgery, day before surgery, 24-48 hours after surgery, and at discharge up to 7 days | Maximal hand grip strength measured by calibrated handheld dynamometer in standardized seated position with elbow flexed at 90 degrees, highest value of 3 maximal voluntary contractions recorded in kilograms |
| Secondary | Heart rate | Baseline 2-3 days before surgery, day before surgery, 24-48 hours after surgery, and at discharge up to 7 days | Heart rate measured at peak exercise and after one minute of recovery, measured by pulse oximetry, as raw Values for Hemodynamic Response, Recorded in bpm |
| Secondary | Resting and post-exercise Blood Pressure | Baseline 2-3 days before surgery and at hospital discharge up to 7 days postoperatively | blood pressure measured by aneroid sphygmomanometer before and after exercise, Measured in mmHg |
| Secondary | Rate Pressure Product | Baseline 2-3 days before surgery and at hospital discharge up to 7 days postoperatively | Rate Pressure Product calculated as heart rate multiplied by systolic blood pressure as indicator of myocardial oxygen consumption, Recorded in mmHg.bpm |
| Secondary | Anxiety | Baseline 2-3 days before surgery, day before surgery, 24-48 hours after surgery, and at discharge up to 7 days | Anxiety level assessed by Visual Analogue Scale for Anxiety VAS-A, 10 cm horizontal line from no anxiety to extreme anxiety |
