Pilot Guidelines for Functional Recovery After Cancer Surgery

This study is developing and testing new guidelines called the "Algorithmic Guideline for Functional Recovery following Cancer Surgery." These guidelines aim to help patients recover better after high-risk abdominal surgery for cancer. The study will see if these guidelines improve how well patients function six months after surgery. This is a pilot study, meaning it's a first step to see if the guidelines are practical to use. The study plans to enroll 66 participants. Currently, the study status is unclear.

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion

Surgeons who perform abdominal surgery for cancer at the study institution

Exclusion

Surgeons who do not perform abdominal surgery for cancer
Surgeons who are external to the study institution
  • Rate of Surgeon Utilization of the Algorithmic Guidelines for Functional Recovery following Cancer Surgery6 months

    The primary outcome is surgeon use of the novel guideline to guide the postoperative clinical care of patients recovering from GI cancer surgery. This will be measured by in-clinic fidelity monitoring, i.e. researcher monitoring of clinical use of the developed guideline.
