Overview

Prospective analysis shows prehabilitation improves overall survival in UGI cancer patients, indicating cost-effectiveness.

Key Points

  • Prehabilitation was associated with a 9% increase in overall survival after two years compared to controls.
  • Operative morbidity and mortality rates were lower in the prehabilitation group, with median length of hospital stay reduced by two days.
  • Propensity score analysis compared 182 prehabilitation patients against 725 controls to assess key outcomes.
  • Cost per quality-adjusted life year was £8,851 for oesophageal cancer and £7,614 for gastric cancer.
