结局指标
主要结局
The effect of a low calorie diet on intra-operative blood loss, technical ease of hepatic transection, complication rates (including infectious complications), length of stay and mortality in patients undergoing liver surgery.
时间窗: 30 days post-operatively
Intra-operative blood loss will be strictly quantified. Units of autologous or donor blood transfused will be recorded. The surgeon will assess the ease of liver mobilization and parenchymal transection using a 1-5 scale where 1 is easy and 5 is hard. Post-operative complications, length of stay and mortality will be recorded.
次要结局
- The effect of a low calorie diet on steatosis and steatohepatitis.(30 days post-operatively)
- The mechanism of decreased steatosis in patients undergoing a low-calorie pre-op diet by measuring levels of expression of molecules involved in the de novo synthesis, hepatic uptake and degradation of lipids.(30 days post-operatively)
