Fresenius Kabi590 enrolled

Overview

This is an observational, cross-sectional study to be conducted on the Nutrition Insights Day (NID), with retrospective review of patient medical charts. No prospective follow-up period is considered. This study aims to obtain a contemporary overview of the nutritional status, the use of EN and/or PN and the provision of calories and proteins in patients after major elective gastrointestinal surgery with existing malnutrition or at risk of hospital malnutrition in selected Asian countries.
