Assessing Frailty and Its Impacts on Patients Facing Major GI Surgery

NCT06267378 · Status: RECRUITING · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 100

Last updated 2024-07-08

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The study team will look at 3 new tests that will make it easier to measure frailty in patients awaiting surgery for cancer and compare them against standard clinical measures of frailty in a pilot study. The expected outcome is that evidence will be collated in order to apply for a major grant to look at improving the care of frail patients with cancer in the future.

Frailty measure

All participants will be asked to complete baseline assessments and a blood test. 30 participants out of the 100 will be selected to wear a digital motion device before their surgery for seven days. (15 participants will be non-frail and 15 patients will be frail). Where possible, all baseline assessments will be scheduled to coincide with a routine clinic/hospital visit. The first assessment will complete functional, frailty, nutritional, and quality of life questionnaires. A blood test will be taken for baseline tests and metabolomic assessment. Participants who opt into having a digital motion device will also be shown how to use the device and will wear this for seven days. Written instructions to fit the device will also be given.
