Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The primary objective of this prospective cohort study is to compare protein intake and adequacy between patients receiving Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols with patients receiving conventional care. The study will also compare energy intakes, gut function, and clinical outcomes between groups. The ability of nutritional parameters, including preoperative malnutrition risk and postoperative protein intake, to predict length of hospital stay will be evaluated.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* adult patients ≥18 years of age
* elective colorectal resection

Exclusion Criteria

* co-morbidities that could have interfered with oral intake (e.g., dysphagia)
* concurrent enteral or parenteral nutrition prior to surgery were excluded since food intakes could be influenced by these conditions.
