Assessing the Accuracy of Seismofit® as an Estimate of VO2 Peak in Patients With Hepato-pancreato-biliary, Colorectal, and Gastro-oesophageal Cancer

Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust35 enrolled

Overview

Our study aims to assess the relationship between the Seismofit® derived VO2 peak estimate and CPET-measured VO2 peak in patients who are having CPET as part of their preoperative workup. Our aim is to establish whether Seismofit® can be considered a cheaper, less resource intensive and better tolerated alternative to the CPET, or whether it might be useful as a screening tool to efficiently identify patients with exercise intolerance who may benefit from further characterisation by CPET.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Assess the relationship between Seismofit®-estimated VO2 peak and CPET-measured VO2 peak in HPB, gastro-oesophageal or colorectal cancer patients undergoing preoperative assessment for major surgery.

Strength and direction of relationship (Pearson correlation coefficient) between Seismofit® -estimated VO2 peak and CPET-measured VO2 peak.
