Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This prospective cohort study investigates and compares the predictive power of two nutritional assessment tools, the Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS2002) and the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria. The study aims to determine how well these tools can predict postoperative complications in patients with gastrointestinal malignancies who are undergoing surgical resection.

Arms (4)
- label
- Nutritional Risk Group (NRS2002 ≥ 3)
- description
- Patients identified as being at nutritional risk based on the Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS2002) score (total score ≥ 3), assessed preoperatively within 24 hours of admission. These patients were followed to assess for postoperative outcomes.
- label
- No Nutritional Risk Group (NRS2002 < 3)
- description
- Patients identified as not being at significant nutritional risk based on the NRS2002 score (total score \< 3), assessed preoperatively within 24 hours of admission. These patients served as the control group for the NRS2002 exposure and were followed to assess for postoperative outcomes.
- label
- Malnutrition Group (GLIM Criteria)
- description
- Patients diagnosed with malnutrition based on the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria, requiring at least one phenotypic and one etiologic criterion. Assessment was performed preoperatively within 24 hours of admission. Patients were followed to assess for postoperative outcomes. This group was also sub-categorized into moderate and severe malnutrition.
