P3.16-34 - The Impact of Preoperative Exercise Therapy on the Surgical Outcomes of Patients with Lung Cancer and COPD: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (ID 12034)
12:00 - 13:30 | Author(s): Alan D L Sihoe
- Abstract
Background
Although isolated studies have looked at the impact of preoperative exercise on patients with lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a comprehensive meta-analysis of the available data has hitherto been lacking.

Articles were searched from PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane library, with the following criteria: lung cancer patients with or without COPD; undergoing resection; receiving preoperative exercise training. Key outcomes were analyzed using meta-analysis.

Seven studies containing 404 participants were included. Patients receiving preoperative exercise training had a lower incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) (Odds Ratio (OR) 0.35, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) 0.21 to 0.59) and shorter length of hospital stay (Standard Mean Difference −1.02 days, 95% CI −1.31 to −0.74 days). Exceptionally, incidence of pneumonia remained unchanged. Patients with COPD could not obviously benefit from exercise training to reduce PPCs(OR 0.44, 95% CI 0.18 to 1.08)but still might achieve faster recovery. No significant difference in pulmonary function was observed between the two groups. However, 6-minutes walking distance and VO2 peak were significantly improved after exercise training.

Preoperative exercise training might not reduce PPCs for COPD patients undergoing lung cancer resection, but still facilitate faster recovery. Muscle capacity was strengthened after rehabilitation, which emphasized the possible mechanism of the protocol design.
