Exercise Prehab in Older Adults With Hematologic Malignancies

Adverse Events and their severity will be captured and graded according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 5.0, and whether any events can be attributed to exercise.

Feasibility defined as 80% of eligible of patients completing the OEP. The proportion of screened patients who agree to participate, the proportion of patients who attend certain percentage of assigned physical therapy (PT) sessions and the proportion of patients who complete the whole study along will be described with respective 95% confidence intervals. Study implementation and challenges will be evaluated by patient exercise logs. Exercise levels at home will also be assessed by exercise diary log

Specific biomarkers of aging will be explored to determine a relationship with molecular markers of aging and epigenetic age with a frailty phenotype. mRNA isolates will be analyzed using a nanostring codeset. The regulation levels of killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs) will be reported. Both KIR_Activating_Subgroup_1 and KIR_Activating_Subgroup_2 levels will be reported. Participants are classified based on a frailty scale: favorable (fit patients based on frailty scale), mid (intermediately fit), unfavorable (frail). Negative values indicate a downregulation of gene expression and positive values indicate an upregulation of gene expression.

Patient-reported KPS31 measures the patients self-reported level of physical function. Scoring extends from 30 (severely disabled) - 100 (normal), with a higher score indicating a higher level of physical function. Descriptive statistics of these measurements will be provided as well as graphs in order to help visualize the change over time.

Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Global Health Scale Short Form v1.1 HRQL measures provide information to the clinician regarding the patient experience of treatment or intervention. The PROMIS Global Health Scale has been rigorously tested for reliability and validity and can be applied to all populations, where higher scores reflect improved quality of life. It consists of 10 questions and was given to the patients for self-administration at three intervals. Descriptive statistics of these measurements will be provided as well as graphs in order to help visualize the change over time. 5 point Likert scale higher values represent a better quality of life. PROMIS scores, developed by the NIH, are usually presented as T-scores, where the average score is 50 and a standard deviation is 10.

The total number of falls experienced by participants will be reported. Both falls that occur inpatient and outpatient will be included.

Scores are assigned for each of the tests and an aggregate score is assigned ranging from 0-12, with higher scores indicating greater physical function. SPPB scores are classified into 4 categories: very low physical function (0-3); low physical function (4-6); moderate physical function (7-9) and high physical function (10-12). An alpha internal consistency of 0.76 has been reported

Evaluating the frequency (percentage of patients with hospital re-admissions) within 90 days

Descriptive statistics of these measurements will be provided as well as graphs in order to help visualize the change over time. The proportion of patients who achieve meaningful change in these scores will be described with 95% confidence intervals. Difference from baseline will be tested with Wilcoxon signed rank test or McNemar's test for continuous or categorical variables respectively.
