SECONDARY
Changes in handgrip strength, gait speed, and SS-5 test results at POD7, 1 month, and 3 months postgastrectomy were also included as secondary endpoints in this study. At POD7, 1 month, and 3 months postsurgery, there was no difference in the mean change in handgrip strength between the BCAA and control groups (POD7, − 0.53 vs. − 2.46 kg, Likewise, there was no change in gait speed or SS-5 test results at POD7, 1 month or 3 months postoperation (gait speed: POD7, + 0.05 vs. − 0.06 m/s,
