However, the rehabilitation concept does not allow to improve muscular and functional reserves at the time of surgery. Sarcopenia is a condition …
Pre-operative Nutrition for Elective Resection Surgery in Inflammatory Bowel Disease
This study aims to determine if improved risk stratification tools and interventions to mitigate malnutrition reduce postoperative risk in patients undergoing elective or emergent resection surgery for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and if adding immune modulation nutrition improves surgical outcomes. The primary objective is to assess whether preoperative malnutrition screening …
