Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • To investigate whether different routes of nutrition affect the probability of fistula closure in patients with an enterocutanous fistula

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • investigating if different routes of nutrition affect fistula output, complication rates, overall nutrition and quality of life in patients with an enterocutaneous fistula. To measure the levels of intestinal growth factors and gut hormones in patients
