Feasibility of wearable activity trackers in cystectomy patients to monitor for postoperative complications

BACKGROUND: To determine the feasibility of using wearables in patients undergoing radical cystectomy to monitor postoperative heart rate and activity and attempt to correlate these factors to complications and readmissions. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted a prospective study of 20 patients unde...

description BACKGROUND: To determine the feasibility of using wearables in patients undergoing radical cystectomy to monitor postoperative heart rate and activity and attempt to correlate these factors to complications and readmissions. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted a prospective study of 20 patients undergoing radical cystectomy for bladder cancer between June 2017 and March 2018. Each patient was provided with a Garmin Vívofit heart rate (HR) activity tracker and instructed to wear it on their wrist for 30 days postoperatively. Heart rate, steps, and sleep data were collected during this time. Patients were called at 10-day intervals and surveyed for complications and device compliance. Univariable mixed effects logistic regression models were used to compare daily activity tracker measures with occurrence of an adverse event. Odds ratios, 95% confidence intervals, and p-values were reported. RESULTS: Median age was 65 (interquartile range 61–74) years. Patients had usable data for a median of 59.3% (interquartile range 25–71.7%) of the time. Five patients experienced a postoperative event (1 readmission for sepsis from urinary tract source, 1 inpatient rapid response called for tachycardic event, 3 unscheduled visits related to dehydration), where event data was recorded over a total of 17 days. Higher step count was associated with reduced odds of an adverse event (odds ratio 0.31, 95% confidence interval 0.10–0.98 per 1000 steps, p = 0.047). CONCLUSIONS: Postoperative activity and heart rate monitoring in cystectomy patients is feasible though current wearables are not well suited for this task.
