Additional objectives include surveying mortality rates, safety (adverse events) and health system discharge position. Falls, cardiac or respiratory issues and unplanned healthcare providence will be monitored for the exercise group while control participants must report any falls from enrollment onwards. Unforeseen medical experiences are also scrutinised during enrolment to pre-operation day in the intervention cohort via chart analysis." - Anonymous Online Contributor
