What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Phase-angle

    Measured: preoperative

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. body weight

    Measured: preoperative

  2. body mass index (BMI)

    Measured: preoperative

  3. preoperative weight loss

    Measured: 3 month weight loss before operation

  4. hip/waist ratio

    Measured: preoperative

  5. Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST)

    The MUST is recommended by ESPEN as the preferred screening tool for patients in the community (Kondrup J et al., Clinical Nutrition 2003; 22: 415-421)

    Measured: preoperative

  6. postoperative complications

    The Clavien-Dindo Classification of Surgical Complications (Dindo D., Demartines N., Clavien P.A.; Ann Surg. 2004; 244: 931-937)

    Measured: postoperative

  7. Length of hospital stay

    Measured: participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Nutritional Status, run by Charite University, Berlin, Germany at 1 site in Germany.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jan 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Germany. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Phase-angle (time frame: preoperative). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Jan 2017.
