BACKGROUND Patients at nutritional risk reveal an increased morbidity. Fast-track (FT) programs in colonic surgery have shown reduced complications and hospital stay. We aimed to assess the effect of FT programs on patients at nutritional risk. METHODS In a randomized trial (NCT00556790), we compared complications after open colonic surgery with either a FT program or standard care (SC). A su...

Malnutrition occurs frequently in the elderly and is correlated with decreased functionality and thereby quality of life, as well as increased morbidity and mortality. This holds true for elderly people living in the community, patients in acute-care hospitals, as well as residents in long-term care facilities. To diagnose malnutrition, it is crucial to have sensitive, easy-to-use and specific ...

BACKGROUND Chronic radiation enteritis (CRE) is defined as loss of absorptive capacity after irradiation due to chronic inflammation and damage of intestinal mucosa, which may lead to varying degrees of malnutrition. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential correlation between the nutritional status and systemic inflammation in patients with CRE. METHODS Medical records of 92 patie...
