Authors' conclusion
Perioperative pedometer data demonstrated consistent and biologically plausible association with perioperative outcomes.
Study context
- Population
- Perioperative patients with pedometer data (30 days before to 30 days after surgery)18 studies
- Outcome
- Correlation between perioperative pedometer data and perioperative outcomes
Methodological details7 studies recorded preoperative and 13 postoperative pedometer data; 10 covered oncologic surgery patients
- 7 studies recorded preoperative and 13 postoperative pedometer data; 10 covered oncologic surgery patients
Pooled result
As reported in the abstract
- Preoperative pedometer readings consistently correlated with postoperative complication rates
- In-hospital postoperative pedometer readings correlated with postdischarge complications and readmissions
