Resumo

Malnutrition is prevalent and poorly diagnosed in hospitalised patients, with high rates of malnutrition seen in surgical patients. The administration of a specialised immuno-nutrition supplement is beneficial for malnourished patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery, and a multidisciplinary team approach improves nutritional care for patients.
