The Effects of a Nurse-led TGA-based Pre-rehabilitation Planning on Perioperative Outcomes in Patients With Liver Cancer: Study and Protocol

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 17 Apr 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The goal of this clinical trial is to to learn if the nurse-led TGA-based Pre-rehabilitation planning can improve compliance, preoperative functional reserve, and reduce the incidence of postoperative complications in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Can this pre-rehabilitation program improve patients' perioperative motor function? 2. Can this pre-rehabilitation program enhance patients' perioperative nutritional status? 3. Can this pre-rehabilitation program improve patients' psychological state? 4. Can this pre-rehabilitation program increase patients' overall compliance? Meanwhile, secondary outcome indicators included complication incidence rate, 30-day readmission rate, first anal flatus passage time, hospitalization duration, serum prealbumin, serum albumin, prothrombin time, total bilirubin, satisfaction and quality of Life. Researchers will compare the control group received only ERAS care after the patient's admission to see if the program is effectiveness. Participants who received the intervention group protocol will initiate pre-rehabilitation measures more than 7 days prior to hospital admission, including nutritional support, exercise and respiratory function training, psychological empowerment, pain pre-management, and smoking/alcohol cessation. These interventions will be recorded daily according to the achievement thresholds established by the research team based on outpatient assessment results. After admission, the patients in this group will receive the same EARS care as the control group.
