“…Patients who undergo cancer treatment frequently report emotional and physical symptoms lasting years after the initial cancer diagnosis, some of which may arise months or years after the treatments are completed. 10–12 Comorbid psychological distress is often present and is associated with sociodemographic and cultural factors, in addition to organizational and contextual factors related to where patients receive care. 13 Thus, it is important to improve the ability of medical oncologists to recognize abnormal anxiety and/or depression and to increase the availability of psychological care and supportive and informative facilities for patients throughout their treatment.…”

Introduction The aim of this systematic review was to summarize the current literature on wearable technologies in oncology patients for the purpose of prognostication, treatment monitoring, and rehabilitation planning. Methods A search was conducted in Medline ALL, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Embase, Emcare, CINAHL, Scopus, and Web of Science, up until February 2022. Articles were included if they reported on consumer grade and/or non-commercial wearable devices in the setting of either prognostication, treatment monitoring or rehabilitation. Results We found 199 studies reporting on 18 513 patients suitable for inclusion. One hundred and eleven studies used wearable device data primarily for the purposes of rehabilitation, 68 for treatment monitoring, and 20 for prognostication. The most commonly-reported brands of wearable devices were ActiGraph (71 studies; 36%), Fitbit (37 studies; 19%), Garmin (13 studies; 7%), and ActivPAL (11 studies; 6%). Daily minutes of physical activity were measured in 121 studies (61%), and daily step counts were measured in 93 studies (47%). Adherence was reported in 86 studies, and ranged from 40% to 100%; of these, 63 (74%) reported adherence in excess of 80%. Conclusion Wearable devices may provide valuable data for the purposes of treatment monitoring, prognostication, and rehabilitation. Future studies should investigate live-time monitoring of collected data, which may facilitate directed interventions.

“…This can be explained by the fact that fatigued patients may be more prone to initiate a degenerative cycle of physical deconditioning, in which the avoidance of physical activities reduces the cardiorespiratory fitness, which may further deteriorate fatigue complaints (36). Associations are reported between cardiorespiratory fitness and fatigue among several non-stroke patient groups (9)(10)(11)(12). However, research on such relationships post-stroke is limited (8).…”

“…Another interesting hypothesis is that the presence of fatigue may be a result of impaired cardiorespiratory fitness, triggered by physical deconditioning (6,8). Associations between cardiorespiratory fitness and fatigue have been reported among several non-stroke patient groups (9)(10)(11)(12).…”

Objective: To assess cardiorespiratory fitness in patients following an aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage and to explore this in fatigued and non-fatigued patients. Design: Cross-sectional case-control study. Subjects/patients: A total of 28 patients, 6 months post aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage, and 28 sex-and agematched controls. Methods: Cardiorespiratory responses to a progressive cardiopulmonary exercise test on a cycle ergometer were obtained using indirect calorimetry. Fatigue was assessed using the Fatigue Severity Scale. Results: Mean peak oxygen uptake (V O 2peak ) was significantly lower in patients (22.0 (standard deviation (SD) 6.2) ml/kg/min) than in controls (69% of controls, p < 0.001). All other cardiorespiratory fitness parameters were also lower, with peak levels ranging from 62% to 77% of matched controls. Mean V O 2peak was 19.4 (SD 4.1) ml/kg/min in fatigued patients (63% of matched controls, p < 0.001) and 23.9 (SD 6.9) ml/kg/min in non-fatigued patients (74% of matched controls, p = 0.002). Conclusion: Cardiorespiratory fitness is impaired after aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage, both in fatigued and non-fatigued patients. This finding may have implications for treatment.
