PURPOSE Hospital-associated anxiety and depression are major preoperative stressors and common in colorectal cancer surgery and major abdominal surgery. The prehabilitation Enhanced Recovery After Colorectal Surgery (pERACS) study is a single-center, single-blinded randomized controlled trial (RCT) evaluating the effect of a structured prehabilitation program. We evaluate within this RCT the association of a prehabilitation program with anxiety and depression before colorectal surgery. METHODS Treatment allocation randomized and single-blinded. Regardless of group allocation, patients were treated according to our institutional Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol. Inclusion criteria consisted of adult patients suffering from colorectal disease requiring surgical treatment and who were treated according to the ERAS protocol. Anxiety and depression scores were assessed at baseline and at admission according to the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), with its subcomponents for depression (HADS-D) and for anxiety (HADS-A). RESULTS A total of 23 patients randomized to prehabilitation (mean age: 64.8±11.5 years) and 25 patients randomized to the control group (64.0±11.9 years) were included. There was no statistically significant difference in HADS-Anxiety improvement (Prehabilitation: -1.7±2.8 points vs. control: -0.4±3.4 points, p=0.132). Similarly, the difference in HADS-Depression improvement among the prehabilitation (1.0±2.4 points) and control (-0.3 ± 4.0 points) groups (p = 0.543) was non-significant. Clinically meaningful improvement in anxiety (60.9%/40.0%, p=0.149) and depression (34.8%/20.0%, p=0.250) was similar among the groups. CONCLUSION In a post hoc analysis of a randomized trial, prehabilitation had no effect on preoperative reduction of anxiety and depression measures.
