Assessment of nutritional status and selection of nutritional support route in patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery

Nutritional risk and malnutrition was significantly higher in patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery as compared to patients in other surgical departments, especially in elder patients, which would directly impact on the efficacy, cost and prognosis. Nutritional screening and assessment should be performed within 24-48 hours after admission. Patients at high risk of malnutrition should be planned with early nutrition support. The best nutrition route should be determined to improve the outcomes of surgery and nutritional support, reduce the complications, length of hospital stay and healthcare costs, and improve the quality of life in patients.
