Official title

Preventing Rehospitalization in Lung Transplant Recipients Through mHealth Utilizing Individualized Rehabilitation Prescriptions

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

Lung transplantation has several important aims: 1) extend survival; 2) relieve disability, and 3) improve health-related quality of life (HRQL) for adults suffering from end-stage lung disease. Advances in medical therapies and changes in the US organ allocation system in 2005 have prioritized lung transplant for sicker and older patients. This achievement has come at substantial cost, including recent trends in recipients towards increased disability, poorer health-related quality of life, and increased longer-term mortality. Additionally, lung transplant recipients have the highest risk of unexpected readmission after the index admission, with published rates of 40-43%. Frailty at the time of discharge is one of the leading factors for readmission. The investigator's belief is that improving access to individualized exercise training plans that are modified based on a patient's progress and needs will greatly improve a transplant recipient's level of physical fitness and independence, and decrease the risk of hospital readmission. This will lead to an overall improvement in a patient's quality of life.
