This prospective randomized trial assesses the feasibility and acceptability of perioperative telemonitoring in patients undergoing complex gastrointestinal oncologic surgery. Methods: Patients undergoing gastrointestinal oncologic surgery wore an activity tracker, completed electronic symptom monitoring, and recorded vital signs via a telehealth app before surgery and post-discharge from 10/21/21-8/31/22. Patients in the intervention arm received nursing triage support when data deviated from predetermined thresholds. Feasibility was the primary outcome, defined as patient adherence to 70% of data entry timepoints. Acceptability was assessed by the patient satisfaction tool. Results: The majority (83/106; 78%) of screened patients were consented, with 65 completing the study by 8/31/22. Median age was 52 (range 28-72) and 21 (32%) were female. Overall, 88% (57/65) completed 70% of the time points (baseline, discharge, d2, d7, d14, d30). Patients in the intervention arm (97%, 31/32) were significantly more likely to complete 70% of the time points than the control arm (79%, 26/33; p<0.05). The overall attrition rate was 4.6% (3/65) and late ineligibility was 6.1% (4/65). The majority of patients completed the satisfaction tool (54/65; 83.1%) and reported that telemonitoring was helpful to track their daily activities (43/54; 80%) and the timing of surveys was just right (51/54; 94%). Conclusion: Remote perioperative telemonitoring of PGHD appears feasible and acceptable in complex gastrointestinal oncologic surgery. Future analyses will determine which aspects of telemonitoring impact perioperative outcomes and render the most value. This one looks like it is going to publication. Let's invite Cindy Kin to do an IC and also let's have a visual abstrace make for this one.

If your research is supported by a funder that requires immediate open access (e.g. according to Plan S principles) then you should select the gold OA route, and we will direct you to the compliant route where possible. For authors selecting the subscription publication route our standard licensing terms will need to be accepted, including our self-archiving policies. Those standard licensing terms will supersede any other terms that the author or any third party may assert apply to any version of the manuscript. Information Regarding US National Institutes of Health (NIH) Public Access Policy Authors who received research funding from the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) are required by NIH to submit accepted manuscripts to PubMed Central (PMC) in compliance with the NIH Public Access Policy. PMC seeks deposit of the Accepted manuscript (AM). This is the manuscript in the form when it is accepted for publication in the journal after peer-review is complete, i.e. – the version which has just been accepted by the World Journal of Surgery. If optional open-access publication of the article will be purchased for your work, called "Springer Open Choice," at a cost of $4,390, SpringerNature will take care of the immediate deposit to PMC. The article will also be available with open access right away (not after the PMC 12-month embargo period). If your work will be published at no cost, behind the traditional paywall, you must comply with PMC submission manually. A step-by-step guide on uploading your manuscript to PMC is available from NIH: https://www.nihms.nih.gov/login/?next=/submission/ A similar guide is also available for Europe PMC: http://plus.europepmc.org/user-guide An additional overview on archiving of manuscripts is available at: https://www.springernature.com/gp/open-research/policies/journal-policies#c2321426020230906111154(GMT-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada)Jodi.Borgenicht@springer-sbm.comManuscript ID WJS-23-05-0786.R1 - ready to go06-Sep-2023 - Letter to Publisher Dear Jodi, Manuscript ID WJS-23-05-0786.R1 entitled "Randomized controlled trial of perioperative telemonitoring of patient generated health data in gastrointestinal oncologic surgery: Assessing overall feasibility and acceptability," with Dr Melstrom as corresponding author, has been accepted to the World Journal of Surgery. ************* An Invited Commentary has been requested to accompany this. ************* The manuscript has been assigned to a batch; the files for production are on their way to the publisher. ....
