Effectiveness of enhanced recovery after surgery among cancer patients: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Enhanced recovery after surgery linked to lower postoperative complications in cancer patients
Effectiveness of enhanced recovery after surgery among cancer patients: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Enhanced recovery after surgery has been implemented in diverse operations.
To determine efficacy and safety of enhanced recovery after surgery compared with conventional perioperative care on physiological indicators, patient-reported outcomes, perioperative and survival outcomes, rehabilitation and healthcare resource utilization among perioperative cancer patients, evaluating the effect of enhanced recovery after surgery through subgroup analysis based on countries with different income levels, and targeted patients with various cancer types and ages.
A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
enhanced recovery cut postoperative complications by nearly 40%
Cancer patients receiving enhanced recovery after surgery had lower level of inflammatory markers, higher level of nutritional, immune and pulmonary indicators than those receiving conventional perioperative care.
Enhanced recovery after surgery alleviated pain on the first [SMD = -1.00 (-1.45, -0.56)] and third [SMD = -0.83 (-1.31, -0.35)] postoperative day, enhancing quality of life [SMD = 0.69 (0.39, 0.98)] compared with conventional perioperative care.
Enhanced recovery after surgery was related to favorable physiological indicators, perioperative and survival outcomes, and resource utilization among cancer patients of various cancer types and ages.
Different outcomes between high-income and low- and middle-income countries may reflect variations in healthcare infrastructure, implementation fidelity, and resource availability.
