Summary of the Best Evidence for Perioperative Exercise in Patients Undergoing Hepatectomy
Objective:
This study aimed to search and analyze relevant evidence on perioperative activities in patients undergoing hepatectomy and provide a summary of the best evidence available.
Methods:
Comprehensive computer searches were conducted in various databases, including PubMed, Cochrane Library, BMJ Best Practice, Joanna Briggs Institute, Evidence-Based Health Care Centre Database, US Guidelines Network, UK National Institute of Clinical Medicine, Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network, International Guidelines Association Network, New Zealand Clinical Practice Guidelines Network, and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database from January 30, 2022 to December 30, 2023. The search included guidelines, expert consensus, evidence summaries, systematic reviews, and original research closely related to the evidence.
Results:
A total of 11 pieces of evidence were included, consisting of 2 guidelines, 2 expert consensuses, 1 evidence summary, 1 systematic review, and 5 randomized controlled trials (RCTs). From these, five pieces of best evidence were identified.
Conclusions:
The evidence from the included studies collectively indicates that well-planned perioperative activities are safe and beneficial for patients undergoing hepatectomy. Furthermore, high-quality local guidelines have been established in China, suggesting that healthcare professionals can adopt these practices to accelerate patient recovery and enhance the quality of clinical care.
