ACTI-CARD: Level of Accelerometer-assessed Preoperative Physical Activity and Short Term Outcome After Elective Cardiac Surgery
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Short term morbidity after elective cardiac surgery remains significant. Standard predictive models, considering simple patient demographics and clinical parameters, show limited efficiency in individual operative risk assessment. There is growing evidence about daily physical activity as a relevant indicator of preoperative "frailty". Although cardiopulmonary exercise testing remains a gold standard, we are looking for more simple tools in order to identify patients with poor physical condition. Accelerometry may be an objective and reproductible method to measure physical activity at patient's home.

Detailed Description
The aim of this study is to compare accelerometer-assessed preoperative physical activity between two groups of patients with different postoperative length of stay following elective cardiac surgery. In the future, accelerometry could be used to identify patients that may benefit from prehabilitation programs including exercise therapy before elective cardiac surgery.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Mean daily preoperative walking activity (average of steps/day over a period of 7 days) [Day: 7]
Measured by accelerometry.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Total energy expenditure evaluated over a 7 days (steps/day) [Day: 7]
Measured by accelerometry.
- Low activity time in hours per week (hours/week) [Day: 7]
Measured by accelerometry.
- Moderate activity time in hours per week (hours/week) [Day: 7]
Measured by accelerometry.
- Intense activity time in hours per week (hours/week) [Day: 7]
Measured by accelerometry.
- Time of very intense activity in hours per week (hours/week) [Day: 7]
Measured by accelerometry.
- Sleep time in hours per week (hours/week) [Day: 7]
Measured by accelerometry.
- Analysis of questionary Duke Activity Status Index (DASI) over a period of 7 days [Day: 7]
Questionary Duke Activity Status Index (DASI) estimates the maximum volume of oxygen used in one minute (VO2 Max) as well as its effort capacity in metabolic equivalent. It contains 11 items. The higher the score indicates better functional capacity.
- Analysis of questionary Short Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire (SNAQ) over a period of 7 days [Day: 7]
Questionary Short Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire (SNAQ) evaluates nutritional status. The higher the score indicates an important nutritional support.
- Dosage of albumin (g/L) [Day: 7]
Measured by blood sample.
- Dosage of prealbumin (g/L) [Day: 7]
Measured by blood sample.
- Preoperative strength assessed by dynamometry (Kg) [Day: 14]
Measured by Hand Grip test.
- Relationship between preoperative physical activity and duration of stay in intensive care [Months: 26]
Correlation between preoperative physical activity and duration of stay in intensive care.
- Preoperative clinical outcome and duration of stay in intensive care [Months: 26]
Correlation between preoperative clinical outcome and duration of stay in intensive care.
- Postoperative clinical outcome and duration of stay in intensive care [Months: 26]
Correlation between postoperative clinical outcome and duration of stay in intensive care.
