Evaluation of Nutritional Scores as Predictive Factors of Postoperative Outcome After Pancreatic Surgery

Patients scheduled for major pancreatic surgery will be screened for malnutrition by five screening scores chosen depending on their clinical applicability. After surgery, it will be evaluated which score predicts the best complications.

Patients scheduled for major pancreatic surgery (pancreaticoduodenectomy, distal resection, total resection) will be screened for malnutrition by the following screening scores: Nutritional Risk Screening Score 2002; Subjective Global Assessment; Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool; Mini Nutritional Assessment and Short Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire. The postoperative outcome will be recorded, and the predictive value of each score will be calculated.
