South Korea: Wearable Tied to Better Physical Activity Recovery Following Lung Cancer Surgery
A postoperative wearable device may improve physical activity and patient-reported dyspnea at six months after lung cancer surgery, according to a study published online Sept. 20 in JAMA Network Open.
Junghee Lee, M.D., from the Sungkyunkwan University School of Medicine in Seoul, South Korea, and colleagues evaluated the effects of a wearable device intervention on the recovery of physical activity, cardiopulmonary function, and health-related quality of life after lung cancer surgery. Thr analysis included 74 patients with suspected or confirmed non-small cell lung cancer scheduled for curative surgery more extensive than lobectomy and 120 controls not using the wearable intervention.
