EFFECTS OF THE USE OF IMMUNOMODULATORY FORMULAS IN CLINICAL OUTCOMES OF PATIENTS SUBMITTED TO SURGERY OF GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT
Keywords:
Immunomodulator, Immunonutrition, Malnutrition, Clinical outcome, Gastrointestinal tract surgeryAbstract
This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of patients who are candidates for elective gastrointestinal surgery after the immunomodulatory formula usage during the perioperative period. Data were collected from 117 patients who were eligible for the 43 sample, those were divided in 2 groups (Supplemented and not supplemented) which were evaluated according to the nutritional screening (NRS-2002) results, hospitalization length and infectious or non-infectious complications appearance on post-surgical of gastrointestinal elective surgery patients. The study concluded that immunomodulatory formula do have a beneficial effect in surgical patients who were classified as nutritional risk patients by the NRS-2002. This results demonstrates the importance of nutritional care as a preventive strategy against the development of malnutrition and its related losses. Concerning the presence of comorbidities, diarrhea, number of deaths and adequacy of the supplement, no significant differences were found.
