5. Conclusions
POSTOPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS
Our study highlights the importance of comprehensive nutritional management for surgical patients, especially those at a high nutritional risk. The intervention group, targeted with specific nutritional goals, showed better clinical outcomes of postoperative complications and mortality. High mNUTRIC scores were associated with higher mortality, whereas the active nutritional intervention was linked to lower mortality. These findings emphasize the need for early and individualized nutritional support to improve patient outcomes.
