About this trial
Preoperative nutrition risk or Malnutrition is a prevalent up to 65% of surgical patients, leading to significant negative outcomes such as increased complications, poor wound healing, and higher healthcare costs. Preoperative nutrition status is a modifiable risk factor that can be optimized to improve surgical outcomes. Preoperative malnutrition screening creates an opportunity to identify and optimize the nutritional status of at-risk patients before surgery. This study is initiated to determine the prevalence of malnutrition among surgical patients enrolled in an Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program, using the SPENT and modified Nutrition Alert Form (NAF) during their visit to the preoperative clinic and evaluate the impact of preoperative nutrition education on body weight and nutrition status prior to surgery.

The prevalence of malnutrition using NAF score
The prevalence of malnutrition using Modified Nutrition Alert Form (NAF) score The minimum value for the NAF (Nutritional Assessment Form) is 0 and the maximum value is 88. The NAF uses a combination of BMI, serum albumin or total lymphocyte count to assess nutritional status, with scores ranging from 0-5 (NAF = A, normal to mild malnutrition), 6-10 (NAF = B, moderate malnutrition), and 11 or higher (NAF = C, severe malnutrition).

The change in Modified NAF score
Changes in Nutrition status measured with change in Modified Modified Nutrition Alert Form (NAF) score. The minimum value for the NAF (Nutritional Assessment Form) is 0 and the maximum value is 88. The NAF uses a combination of BMI, serum albumin or total lymphocyte count to assess nutritional status, with scores ranging from 0-5 (NAF = A, normal to mild malnutrition), 6-10 (NAF = B, moderate malnutrition), and 11 or higher (NAF = C, severe malnutrition).
