Early Outcomes and Nutritional Scores in Bariatric Patients
This study looks at blood tests and nutritional measurements taken before bariatric surgery to see if they can predict how quickly patients recover and whether they develop complications after surgery. Researchers will track patients after their procedure to understand the connection between these preoperative markers and early surgical outcomes.
Key Objective: The trial tests whether measuring immune and nutritional markers before surgery can help doctors predict which patients are at higher risk for complications and adjust their care accordingly.
Who to Consider: Patients planning to undergo bariatric surgery who want to contribute to research that may improve how doctors prepare and monitor patients for this procedure should consider enrolling.
Trial Parameters
Brief Summary
This prospective observational study aims to evaluate whether preoperative immune-nutritional markers-specifically the Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI), HALP score, Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR), and C-Reactive Protein (CRP)-can predict early postoperative clinical outcomes such as time to oral intake, mobilization, complications, and length of hospital stay in patients undergoing elective laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.
