Multidisciplinary home-based rehabilitation in inoperable lung cancer: a randomised controlled trial

Abstract: BackgroundLung cancer is associated with poor health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and high symptom burden. This trial aimed to assess the efficacy of home-based rehabilitation versus usual care in inoperable lung cancer.MethodsA parallel-group, assessor-blinded, allocation-concealed, randomised controlled trial. Eligible participants were allocated (1:1) to usual care (UC) plus 8 weeks of aerobic and resistance exercise with behaviour change strategies and symptom support (intervention group (IG)) or UC alo… Show more

“…Our participants sometimes treated their walking performance as an indicator of their symptoms, level of physical mobility and cancer progression. This finding is consistent with previous studies using 6-minute walking distance as an objective outcome in exercise testing and interventions [55,[66][67][68][69]. In clinical practice, for physically weaker populations, suitable amount of exercise is recommended to prevent over-training and over-exertion [14,66,70].…”

“…It is widely accepted, and accords with common sense, that the imputation of missing data on HRQoL for a deceased participant is inappropriate [59]. This is in keeping with approaches applied to randomised controlled trials [60] and is an approach used by others (with specific expertise in imputation) within the field of rehabilitation [59,61]. This would also be consistent with analyses applied to this cohort which we have recently published [24].…”
