Does pre-surgery physical activity predict complications after incisional hernia repair?

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This retrospective observational study will review adults who underwent midline incisional hernia repair with prosthetic reinforcement at the University Hospital of Strasbourg between January 6, 2021 and October 24, 2024. Preoperative physical activity and comorbidities will be extracted from medical records and linked to postoperative outcomes using the Clavien–Dindo classification and the Comprehensive Complication Index. Statistical analyses will examine whether lower activity or greater patient 'fragility' is associated with higher rates or more severe postoperative complications. No experimental interventions are performed; the study uses routinely collected clinical data.
