About this study

The five risky lifestyles Smoking, Nutrition (obesity and malnutrition), risky Alcohol intake, and Physical inactivity (SNAP) are common in surgical patients and associated with worse postoperative outcomes. Mono-factor interventions targeting and improving these risky lifestyles have been shown to reduce the risk at surgery, but there is a lack of systematic assessment of all five lifestyles of the patient before surgery and related optimization. This study aims to evaluate the effect of intensive combined lifestyle interventions (the STRONG programme) compared with treatment as usual in patients undergoing ventral hernia repair on postoperative complications, health, and costs on short and longer term. The hypothesis is that the STRONG programme will halve the complication rates within 30 days.
