What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

Summary

This study tested whether a pre-surgery health optimization program (prehabilitation) combined with enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) can reduce complications in elderly patients undergoing spinal fusion. 164 participants were randomly assigned to receive either the PREERAS program or standard care. The program includes risk assessment and targeted support before surgery, followed by ERAS care after. The main goal was to measure overall complications using the Comprehensive Complication Index.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Multimodal prehabilitation (pre-surgery risk assessment and targeted interventions) combined with enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) care
What this could lead to
If successful, this program could become a standard approach to reduce complications and speed recovery for elderly patients undergoing spine surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a completed study with 164 participants, so results are available but may not apply to all hospitals or patient groups. The intervention is complex and may be hard to implement widely.
