Effects of Preoperative Oral Carbohydrate Loading on Neutrophil/Lymphocyte Ratio and Postoperative Complications Following Colorectal Cancer Surgery: a Randomized Controlled Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating preoperative nutrition for Neutrophil and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 60 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study evaluated the impact of a preoperative carbohydrate oral drink on the postoperative Neutrophil / Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) and the incidence of postoperative complications after elective open colon surgery compared to the conventional preoperative fasting protocol. Hypothesis was: preoperative carbohydrate loading reduces postoperative NLR value and reduces the incidence and severity of postoperative complications in colorectal surgery.
