Postoperative early mobilisation protocol for endometrial cancer patients: a retrospective study
Standardised early mobilisation within Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) for endometrial cancer is lacking. This study developed and evaluated a protocol. This retrospective study analysed outcomes of a clinical quality improvement initiative conducted at a tertiary care centre (February 2021-May 2022). The intervention group was associated with significantly better first ambulation (6.8 ± 2.1 h vs. 18.5 ± 4.3 h, mean difference: 11.7 h, 95% CI: 10.3-13.1, This retrospective analysis suggests that the structured early mobilisation protocol, implemented as a clinical quality improvement initiative, was associated with improved recovery, reduced complications/LOS and better emotional wellbeing in endometrial cancer patients within ERAS.
