Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Incidence of complications at 30 days after surgery

    Postoperative complications were defined by Clavien-Dindo. Grade 1: Any deviation from the normal postoperative course without the need for pharmacologic treatment or surgical, endoscopic, and radiologic interventions. Allowed therapeutic regimens are drugs as antiemetics, antipyretics, analgetics, and diuretics, and electrolytes and physiotherapy. This grade also includes wound infections opened at the bedside. Grade 2: Requiring pharmacologic treatment with drugs other than such allowed for grade I complications. Blood transfusions and total parenteral nutrition are also included. Grade 3: Requiring surgical, endoscopic, or radiologic intervention 3a: Intervention not under general anesthesia 3b: Intervention under general anesthesia Grade 4:Life-threatening complication (including CNS complications) requiring IC/ICU management. 4a: Single organ dysfunction (including dialysis) 4b: Multiple organ dysfunction Grade 5: Death as a result of complications

    up to 30 days after surgery

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Postoperative hospital stay

    up to 90 days after surgery

Study Arms (2)

nutritional intervention

EXPERIMENTAL

300 or 500 calories nutritional support before operation according to the level of malnutrition

Dietary Supplement: 300 calories or 500 calories nutrient rich in branched chain amino acids and dietary fiberBehavioral: Dietary mission

control group

OTHER

Dietary education was conducted according to preoperative nutritional requirements

Behavioral: Dietary mission

Interventions

300 kcal rich in branched chain amino acids and water soluble dietary fiber (12g) for Mild malnutrition, or 500 kcal rich in branched chain amino acids and water soluble dietary fiber (12g) for moderate to severe malnutrition. The degree of malnutrition is determined by Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA).
