Registration Number
NCT03606603
Lead Sponsor
Fresenius Kabi
Brief Summary

This is an observational, cross-sectional study to be conducted on the Nutrition Insights Day (NID), with retrospective review of patient medical charts. No prospective follow-up period is considered.

This study aims to obtain a contemporary overview of the nutritional status, the use of EN and/or PN and the provision of calories and proteins in patients after major elective gastrointestinal surgery with existing malnutrition or at risk of hospital malnutrition in selected Asian countries.

  2. Hospitalization on SICU or major surgical ward on the NID
  3. Use of EN (nutritional intake provided via tube feeding) and/or PN for at least one day before the NID
  4. If patient received oral nutrition (ON) or oral nutrition supplements (ONS) during the observational phase from day -5 to day -2, complete and reliable data of daily caloric and protein intake is available
  5. Latest surgical intervention ≤ 10 days before NID
Exclusion Criteria
  1. Patients with burn injuries
  2. Patients requiring postsurgical mechanical ventilation and sedation on the NID
  3. Patients receiving ON and/or ONS at any quantity on the day before the NID
  4. Patients requiring emergency procedures
