Description

Ya-Ling Yan and co-authors run a trial of all-around rehabilitation for frail older patients facing gut surgery, in a 2025 paper. Care for such patients usually mixes food support, exercise, and psychological help, but most studies stop at the operation itself. Their program spans the whole stay around surgery. Ninety-six frail patients with gut tumors at a Shanghai hospital were split evenly between the program and routine care.

Most patients had colon surgery, the rest stomach surgery, and the groups started alike. Frailty was scored at admission, the day after surgery, at discharge, and one week later. The design lets the team see whether support after surgery, not just before, bends the frailty path. The authors frame the trial as a test of full-journey rehabilitation for this vulnerable group.
