Preoperative Optimisation of Modifiable Risk Factors in Surgery of the Pancreas

Preoperative Optimisation of Modifiable Risk Factors in Surgery of the Pancreas: the Implementation of Best Practice Before Pancreatic Resection

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 19 Oct 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The goal of this stepped-wedge randomized controlled trial is to investigate whether implementation of a best practice program for preoperative optimisation (prehabilitation program) with a focus on screening, assessment, and intervention of 8 potentially (partly) modifiable risk factors in patients with (suspected) pancreatic cancer will improve outcome. The main questions it will aim to answer are: 1. Does a prehabilitation program improve the time to functional recovery after pancreatic surgery? 2. Does a prehabilitation program lead to a reduction in the Comprehensive Complication Index after pancreatic surgery?
