Feasibility of CPET in Patients Prior to TKA
Submaximal Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing in Patients With Knee Osteoarthritis Scheduled for Total Knee Arthroplasty: a Feasibility Study
Higher aerobic capacity before surgery, as indicated during submaximal exercise testing by the oxygen uptake (VO2) at the ventilatory anaerobic threshold (VAT), is assumed to be prognostic for a better and faster postoperative recovery in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is the gold standard to measure aerobic capacity; however, it is unclear whether it is feasible to perform CPET using cycle ergometry in patients with knee OA prior to TKA surgery. The hypothesis is that performing CPET is feasible and participants will meet the feasibility criteria for success.
The primary objective of this cross-sectional feasibility study is to investigate the feasibility of CPET in patients with knee OA three to six weeks prior to TKA surgery in three domains: a) recruitment rate of participants who are representative of the target study population; b) reaching the VAT during CPET; and c) acceptability and suitability. The secondary objective is to investigate aerobic capacity of the study population and to compare values with normative values.
The study population consists of patients with knee OA scheduled for primary unilateral TKA surgery.
Feasibility of CPET will be assessed against five criteria: 1) recruitment rate ≥20%; 2) CPET performance rate ≥90%; 3) ≥90% of participants reached the VAT; 4) no serious adverse events; and 5) ≥80% of participants had a positive attitude towards CPET. Aerobic capacity is determined by the VO2 at the VAT and the oxygen uptake efficiency slope (OUES).
CPET is considered a safe procedure. Participants perform the CPET instead of a walking test following the standard preoperative screening and complete a questionnaire to examine their experiences. The investigator will contact the participants one week after the CPET to inquire whether they have developed any complaints afterwards. Benefit from participation is that all patients objectively get insight in their preoperative aerobic capacity.

Detaljeret beskrivelse
It is unclear whether it is feasible to perform submaximal exercise testing using cycle ergometry to measure aerobic capacity in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Individuals prior to TKA surgery experience increasing knee pain and are progressively restricted in their activities of daily living (ADL), sports and work, which negatively affect their aerobic capacity. This causes severe deconditioning, which is more prominent in patients with more severe knee OA. As part of usual care before TKA procedure, patients are screened for risk factors for delayed recovery by measuring physical functioning. Although various practical performance-based tests are performed, measuring aerobic capacity is included nowhere. Therefore, a walking test will be replaced by cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) using cycle ergometry, which is the gold standard for measuring aerobic capacity.
A higher aerobic capacity prior to TKA surgery is assumed to be prognostic for a better and faster postoperative recovery. The first step is to explore whether it is feasible to perform a submaximal CPET prior to TKA surgery using cycle ergometry in patients with knee OA. When the feasibility criteria are met, the possible prognostic value of preoperative aerobic capacity on postoperative recovery can be investigated in a subsequent prospective cohort study.
Primary objective: to investigate the feasibility of submaximal CPET in patients with knee OA three to six weeks prior to TKA surgery in the MUMC+ and Anna Hospital regarding three domains: 1) recruitment rate of participants who are representative of the target study population; 2) feasibility of CPET procedure; and 3) acceptability and suitability of CPET. These domains are operationalized with five feasibility criteria.
Secondary objective: to explore the aerobic capacity of the study population, individuals with knee OA scheduled for TKA surgery, using submaximal parameters (VO2 at the VAT and OUES) and compare their aerobic capacity with normative values.
This cross-sectional study will be conducted at the Maastricht University Medical Center (MUMC+) and Anna Hospital. CPET will be performed three to six weeks before the TKA surgery following the preoperative screening. The study will include 15 to 20 participants.
