- Purpose: Surgery itself causes an inflammatory response to an injury to the patient that leads to a stress metabolic state. Emergency gastrointestinal surgery may cause complications, such as ileus, bowel obstruction, ischemia, or anastomotic leakage, resulting in a delayed oral diet or poor overall nutrition. This study investigated the route of nutrition for patients who underwent emergency gastrointestinal surgery and when to provide nutrition after surgery.
Materials and Methods: Ten hospitals collected data retrospectively on the nutritional status and nutritional status of patients undergoing emergency gastrointestinal surgery for one year from January to December 2016. The clinical outcomes of the nutrient supply method, duration of supply, and type of surgery were performed. The dates from the time of surgery to the start of enteral nutrition, oral nutrition, and parenteral nutrition were calculated. Results: Of 706 patients, there were 187 (26.5%) trauma patients, of which 63.5% were male. The onset of nutrition began after an average of 10.7 days postoperatively and after an average of 12.1 days of enteral nutrition. On average, it took 7.7 days to provide adequate calories, of which 63.3% had achieved adequate calories within a week. In the case of minimally invasive surgery, such as laparoscopic surgery, the adequate calorie supply time was five days, which was reached within one week. Conclusion: In a retrospective multicenter analysis, the patients who underwent emergency gastrointestinal surgery had a late start of oral or enteral nutrition, and the ratio of adequate calorie supply within a week was low.

Purpose:Nutritional therapy (NT), such as enteral nutrition (EN) or parenteral nutrition (PN), is essential for the malnourished patients. Although the complications related to NT has been well described, multicenter data on symptoms in the patients with receiving NT during hospitalization are still lacking. Methods:Nutrition support team (NST) consultations, on which NT-related complications were described, were collected retrospectively for one year. The inclusion criteria were patients who were (1) older than 18 years, (2) hospitalized, and (3) receiving EN or PN at the time of NST consultation. The patients’ demographics (age, sex, body mass index [BMI]), type of NT and type of complication were collected. To compare the severity of each complication, the intensive care unit (ICU) admission, hospital stay, and type of discharge were also collected. Results:A total of 14,600 NT-related complications were collected from 13,418 cases from 27 hospitals in Korea. The mean age and BMI were 65.4 years and 21.8 kg/m2. The complications according to the type of NT, calorie deficiency (32.4%, n=1,229) and diarrhea (21.6%, n=820) were most common in EN. Similarly, calorie deficiency (56.8%, n=4,030) and GI problem except for diarrhea (8.6%, n=611) were most common in PN. Regarding the clinical outcomes, 18.7% (n=2,158) finally expired, 58.1% (n=7,027) were admitted to ICU, and the mean hospital days after NT-related complication were 31.3 days. Volume overload (odds ratio [OR]=3.48) and renal abnormality (OR=2.50) were closely associated with hospital death; hyperammonemia (OR=3.09) and renal abnormality (OR=2.77) were associated with ICU admission; “micronutrient and vitamin deficiency” (geometric mean [GM]=2.23) and volume overload (GM=1.61) were associated with a longer hospital stay. Conclusion:NT may induce or be associated with several complications, and some of them may seriously affect the patient’s outcome. NST personnel in each hospital should be aware of each problem during nutritional support.
