Official title
Early Postoperative Structured Intervention for Quality of Life and Prognosis in Gastric Cancer Patients After Neoadjuvant Therapy：: A Multicenter,Open Label Randomized Controlled Trial
Overview
This study was conducted by Qilu Hospital and five other renowned medical centers, aiming to evaluate the impact of early structured postoperative intervention on quality of life and prognosis in patients with gastric cancer after neoadjuvant therapy.
Detailed description
Investigators are conducting a two-arm, multicenter, interventional study at Qilu Hospital of Shandong University and five other renowned hospitals in China. A total of 264 gastric cancer patients who have completed preoperative neoadjuvant therapy will be randomly assigned to either the control group or the experimental group.For control group,patients will receive standard ERAS discharge management, including routine discharge education; outpatient follow-up visits on postoperative day 7 and postoperative day 30; and emergency contact via hospital telephone or emergency department visits for urgent situations.For experimental group,in addition to standard ERAS discharge management, patients will receive multimodal structured interventions during follow-up visits targeting nutritional status, psychological status, and exercise status. Nutritional intervention: Routine postoperative oral nutritional supplements (ONS) will be provided, and patients with metabolic diseases such as diabetes will undergo strict glycemic control. Psychological intervention: Patients with a Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) score ≥ 8 will receive cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and those with a HADS score ≥ 11 will be referred for psychological consultation. Exercise intervention: Postoperative rehabilitation training will be guided according to different postoperative periods.During the study period, the incidence of complications within 30 days postoperatively and quality of postoperative recovery were statistically analyzed, among other outcomes.
