Pre-operative Nutrition for Elective Resection Surgery in Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Trial Parameters
Brief Summary
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 and intervention minimize postoperative complications. The secondary objective is to evaluate whether immune modulation nutrition in the peri-operative period decreases length of stay and major complications.
