A review of patient recruitment in randomised controlled trials of preoperative exercise

CONCLUSION: The recruitment of participants to preoperative exercise randomised controlled trials is challenging, but patient retention appears to be less of a problem. Future trials investigating the effectiveness of a preoperative exercise programme following cancer surgery should consider the time taken to recruit patients. Strategies associated with improved recruitment should be investigated in future studies.PMID:38149306 | DOI:10.1177/17407745231219270
