简要总结
The primary objective of this prospective cohort study is to compare protein intake and adequacy between patients receiving Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols with patients receiving conventional care. The study will also compare energy intakes, gut function, and clinical outcomes between groups. The ability of nutritional parameters, including preoperative malnutrition risk and postoperative protein intake, to predict length of hospital stay will be evaluated.

入选标准
- •adult patients ≥18 years of age
- •elective colorectal resection
排除标准
- •co-morbidities that could have interfered with oral intake (e.g., dysphagia)
- •concurrent enteral or parenteral nutrition prior to surgery were excluded since food intakes could be influenced by these conditions.
结局指标
主要结局
Total protein intake (grams) as assessed by food records.
时间窗: Average in first three postoperative days
Protein intake from food records on postoperative days 1, 2 and 3 will be recorded. Patients will record the amount of food, fluid, and oral nutrition supplements consumed using quartiles (none, ¼, ½, ¾, all) on a food record. Research staff will verify the self-reported food records with the patients after each meal. Total protein intake in grams will be determined by comparing actual food intake (obtained from the food records) to the food composition records of our institution.
次要结局
- Length of hospital stay (number of days)(Number of days spent in hospital during admission for surgery up to 6 months)
