Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Decreasing the frailty-status of a LTx-candidate is therefore an approach to improve the pre- and also posttransplant situation. There is some evidence that frailty in LTx-candidates can be decreased by a homebased Rehabilitation \[5\]. However, at the moment these possible benefits are unknown for an inpatient rehabilitation. Therefore the aim of this study is to observe the effect of a three-week inpatient rehabilitation on frailty in lung transplant candidates.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Frailty is a complex clinical syndrome describing a loss of physical and/or cognitive functionality which leads to a decreased resistance to stressors such as operations or illness. It is associated with increased number of falls, exacerbations, adverse health outcomes and a higher mortality \[6-9\]. Frail LTx-candidates have a higher risk of being delisted before transplantation, adverse transplantation outcomes and a higher one-year-mortality compared to non frail candidates. However, studies show that frailty can be decreased by physical training \[10-12\]. A recent prospective cohort study in the UK observed a significant decrease of frailty in patients with COPD participating at an inpatient rehabilitation programme \[4\]. Singer et al. (USA) could detect a significant decrease of frailty by a homebased training for LTx-candidates \[5\].
Aim of this study is to investigate the effects of a three-week inpatient rehabilitation programme on physical frailty (measured by Short Physical Performance Battery) in lung transplant candidates. Additionally, other functional measures as well as the cognitive, social and psychological state will be assessed in order to better understand the complex syndrome of frailty and the effects of rehabilitation.
Design:
This study is a prospective observational trial. The number of 32 participants is based on a sample size calculation. Asssessments will take place in the beginning of rehabilitation programme and at discharge.
