Postoperative Oral Nutritional Supplementation After Major Gastrointestinal Surgery
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Patients who underwent major gastrointestinal surgery is potentially at risk of malnutrition due to reduced oral intake, increased nutritional need, reduced gastrointestinal absorption function, and/or metabolic changes after surgery. The postoperative malnutrition is associated with low quality of life and seems to be related long-term nutritional status. This study is a multicenter, open-labeled prospective randomized clinical trial to examine the effect of postoperative oral nutritional supplements (ONS) after major gastrointestinal surgery by comparing the change of body weight and other nutritional parameters between the experiment group that is supplied with ONS and the control group without ONS.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Body weight decrease rate 8weeks after discharge compared with preoperative body weight [8weeks after discharge]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Changes in body weight before and after surgery [preoperatively, at the time of discharge, and 2,4, 8 weeks after discharge]
- Change of body mass index before and after surgery [preoperatively, at the time of discharge after surgery, and 8 weeks after discharge]
- changes in PG-SGA score and grade [preoperatively, and 2,4,8 weeks after discharge]
- serum hemoglobin [preoperatively, at the time of discharge, 2,4,8 weeks after discharge]
- serum total lymphocyte count [preoperatively, at the time of discharge, 2,4,8 weeks after discharge]

- serum total protein [preoperatively, at the time of discharge, 2,4,8 weeks after discharge]
- serum albumin [preoperatively, at the time of discharge, 2,4,8 weeks after discharge]
Other Outcome Measures
- Anthropometric measure (Triceps Skinfold Thickness and Mid Arm Muscle Circumference), optional [pre-operatively, and 2,4,8 weeks after discharge]
- ONS related gastrointestinal adverse event [upto 8weeks after discharge]
