Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a multi centre prospective observational study including patients undergoing major/major+ operation of general surgery. Patients will be interviewed by surgical trainees and their malnutrition risk will be assessed with the use of SGA, MUST, NRS, MNA-SF etc. Clinical variables and demographics will also be recorded in order to enable meaningful comparisons of malnutrition risk assessment tools in terms of serious postoperative complications.

Eligibility Criteria

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

Inclusion Criteria

* Age \>18 years

* 3.Expedited (\>18 hours)
* 2B. Urgent (6-18 hours)
* 2A. Urgent (2-6 hours)
* 1\. Immediate (\<2 hours)
* Operations involving the gastrointestinal tract
* Magnitude of operation graded by POSSUM \[17,18\]:

* Major+ (examples include colonic resection abdominoperineal resection of the rectum, radical total gastrectomy, intestinal bypass, whipple resection)
* Major (examples include adhesiolysis, stoma formation, small bowel resection, anterior resection, cholecystectomy and exploration of the bile duct)

Exclusion Criteria

* Age \<18 years
