Perioperative Oral Nutrition Supplementation in Malnourished Surgical Cancer Patients

Category Primary study
Registry of Trialsclinicaltrials.gov
Year 2018
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of perioperative oral nutrition supplementation (ONS) on nutritional status in malnourished cancer patients undergoing elective surgery. The hypothesis is pre-operative ONS feeding in malnourished surgical cancer patients is effective on improving nutritional status. An extended period of 3 months post-operative ONS feeding is effective on improving nutritional status as compared to ONS feeding post-operatively during hospital stay only. Perioperative feeding is effective on improving secondary outcomes such as sleep quality, post-operative complications and length of hospital stay.
