Prehabilitation Research: A Bibliometric Analysis of Past Trends and Future Directions.
This study investigates the global research landscape of prehabilitation, identifying current trends, dominant disciplines, collaborative networks, and prominent articles in the field. For our analysis, we employed the published prehabilitation literature indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection database, spanning from 2002 to 2022. Additionally, we utilized CiteSpace (version 6.2; Drexel University), a widely used information visualization software to perform bibliometric analysis. Analyzing 553 research articles, we observe a consistent upward trend in prehabilitation publication and citation activity. Interdisciplinary co-occurrence analysis highlights strong connections with fields such as surgery, rehabilitation, oncology, sports sciences, orthopedics, gastroenterology, and hepatology. Initially centered around postoperative outcomes in major abdominal surgeries, particularly for colorectal, pancreatic, and prostate cancers, prehabilitation research expanded to include thoracic surgeries, focusing on conditions like lung cancer and aortic valve replacement. Preoperative exercise remains a core area, with increasing interest in multimodal prehabilitation and its effectiveness based on patient group characteristics. North America and Western Europe emerge as primary contributors to prehabilitation research. Current research concentrates on tailoring prehabilitation programs for specific groups, and broadening their geographical scope would enhance the studies, contributing valuable insights for medical practitioners shaping future research efforts.

Paratriathlon Race Performance in Elite Ambulatory Athletes with Physical Impairments.
The aim of this study was to compare overall performance and performance within the individual disciplines (e.g., swim) in elite paratriathlon between the ambulatory classes PTS2-5 in men and women. Data were acquired from the official results of 31 International paratriathlon competitions between 2018 and 2021. 1094 results (men N = 774; women N = 320) were analyzed. One-way analysis of variance was used to compare overall performance time, absolute time spent in each discipline, and percentage of performance time spent in each discipline between sports classes. Pearson's correlation between segment times and overall times were explored. Overall time was significantly quicker in PTS5 than PTS4 and PTS3 (p < 0.05), and between PTS4 and PTS3 (p < 0.05), but no differences were found between PTS3 and PTS2. PTS5 was also quicker than PTS4 and PTS3 (p < 0.05) across most of the individual discipline times. Cycling comprised the highest percentage of race time in all classes (47.1-49.6%) and was strongly correlated to overall performance (r = 0.72-0.91). Hierarchy in performance times was demonstrated between the less impaired paratriathlon classes, but not between the most impaired PTS2 and PTS3 classes. It may be appropriate for PTS2 and PTS3 to compete together.

Successful rehabilitation after surgical repair of hip fracture has been associated with handgrip strength but not with orthostatic hypotension in patients 65 years of age and above.
The identification of factors associated with successful rehabilitation after hip fractures enables more successful planning of the rehabilitation process and discharge from the hospital. Orthostatic hypotension (OH) and handgrip strength (HGS) have been evaluated in previous studies as potential predictors of rehabilitation outcomes, with inconsistent results. A retrospective study of patients 65 years of age and above who underwent rehabilitation after surgical repair of hip fracture in the Geriatric Department between July 2020 and October 2023. HGS was measured during the first three days of hospitalization using a digital dynamometer. OH was measured a week after admission to the ward by the tilt table test. Successful rehabilitation was defined as a Montebello Rehabilitation Factor Score Revised (MRFS-R) above 50%. Data were collected for 253 patients. The mean age was 80.5 ± 7.7 and 32.4% were males. The mean HGS was 17.2 ± 6.6 kg. OH was diagnosed in 32.8%. 193 patients (76.3%) reached the goal of MRFS-R ≥ 50 at the end of the rehabilitation. In a logistic regression analysis HGS, cognitive state, and sex were associated with successful rehabilitation. Measuring HGS, but not OH, can predict successful rehabilitation.

The Impact of Leisure-Time Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior on Mortality in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.
This study sought to examine the association between inactive time, leisure-time physical activity (LTPA), and mortality in individuals diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This study utilized a nationally representative sample of patients with COPD from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) survey (n = 1817; weighted population, 23,698,840). Mortality was tracked from the date of interview and examination. LTPA and sedentary time were assessed using a Global Physical Activity Questionnaire. The study found that only 28% of patients with COPD achieved sufficient LTPA (LTPA ≥150 min/week), while 58% reported no physical activity and 47% sat for over six hours per day. Over a nine-year follow-up period, 501 deaths occurred, with 101 due to heart diseases. Adequate LTPA levels were associated with a decreased risk of mortality from any cause. Moreover, patients who engaged in sufficient LTPA and reduced sitting time had a lower risk of mortality from any cause compared to those who did not engage in sufficient LTPA. Participating in an adequate amount of LTPA was linked to a reduced risk of death from any cause in patients with COPD. However, irrespective of the extent of the LTPA, there was no significant correlation between sedentary behavior and the risk of mortality.

The Incidence and Nature of Adverse Events During Inpatient Rehabilitation: A Retrospective Case Series.
To describe and compare adverse event (AE) incidence, type, severity, and preventability in the Canadian inpatient rehabilitation setting. In this retrospective case series, AEs were identified through chart reviews from two Canadian academic tertiary post-acute care hospitals. AEs were characterized through descriptive statistics and compared using the Mantel-Haenszel and Fisher's exact tests. During the study period, one site (n = 120) had 28 AEs and an incidence of 9.7 (95% CI 6.1-13.3) per 1000 patient days, and the other (n = 48) had 15 AEs and an incidence of 13.9 (95% CI 6.9-21) per 1000 patient days (p = 0.82). The two sites differed significantly in AE type (p = 0.033) and preventability (p = 0.002) but not severity. The most common AE type was medication/intravenous fluids-related (16/28, 57%) at one site and patient incidents (e.g., falls, pressure ulcers) at the other. Four percent (1/28) of AEs were preventable at one site, and 53% (8/15) at another. Most AEs at both sites were mild in severity. AEs significantly differed in type and preventability between the two sites. These results suggest the importance of context and the need for an organization-specific and tailored approach when addressing patient safety in inpatient rehabilitation settings.
