Highlights
- Days at Home within 90 days post-surgery (DAH-90) integrates mortality, complications, and institutional care, reflecting holistic patient recovery after gastrointestinal (GI) cancer surgery.
- DAH-90 varies by cancer site, histology, procedure type, and patient factors such as frailty and surgical approach, correlating inversely with major morbidity and 1-year mortality.
- Virtual multimodal prehabilitation approaches demonstrate feasibility and potential to improve postoperative DAH and quality of life in GI cancer patients.
- Physical activity monitoring complements DAH as an objective, responsive patient-centered outcome, correlating with functional status and quality of life in oncology care.
