Annals of surgical oncology

The study examined the correlation between changes in bioimpedance-derived phase angle (PA) and postoperative complications following major oncologic upper-GI surgery. The results indicated that preoperative malnutrition and decreased PA on postoperative day 1 were associated with higher risks of complications.

Pancreas

BIA analysis is a reliable alternative for evaluating pancreatic steatosis. It shows a robust correlation with reference methods such as computed tomography and pathological analysis. These results highlight the usefulness of BIA analysis as an effective, accurate, and noninvasive diagnostic tool.

HPB

BIVA analysis provides valuable information for evaluating potential postoperative complications in patients undergoing hepatectomy surgery. This data can be critical in anticipating and managing complications, ultimately improving surgical outcomes.

Obesity Surgery

Patients with sarcopenia who undergo major surgery are at a higher risk of complications. It is essential to identify sarcopenic patients to properly assess the preoperative risk-benefit ratio. In this context, bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a noninvasive and reproducible technique that provides a viable alternative to dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) analysis.

Annals of surgical oncology

Multivariate statistical analysis has identified the NRS-2002 score as a prognostic marker in patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma who undergo surgery. This evidence suggests the importance of preoperative nutritional assessment, particularly in patients who are candidates for neoadjuvant therapy.

Clinical Nutrition

A significant decrease of impedance on the first day after cardiac surgery may indicate fluid overload. This condition has been linked to longer mechanical ventilation times, as well as longer stays in the ICU and hospital.

Nutrition in Clinical Practice

Standardised phase angle (SPA) correlates with nutritional status and is a significant predictor of postoperative infection complications (AUC, 0.61; CI 95%, 0.51-0.71).

Annals of surgery

The trial conducted on 249 patients following surgical resection for pancreatic cancer shows that preoperative ECW values are significantly higher in patients with a higher degree of morbility according to the Clavien-Dindo classification (CDC). The hydration index, meanwhile, correlates with post-operative complications.
