Abstract

PALMA, Samara et al. Malnutrition management of hospitalized patients with diabetes/hyperglycemia in the perioperative setting. Nutr. Hosp. [online]. 2022, vol.39, n.spe4, pp.31-39.  Epub Feb 06, 2023. ISSN 1699-5198.  https://dx.doi.org/10.20960/nh.04509.

People with diabetes are at high risk of requiring surgical intervention throughout their lives, and of perioperative complications in case of poor metabolic control. Hospitalization represents a stressful event that, together with other factors associated with diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, leads to a deterioration in the nutritional status of the patients. An association between poor nutritional status and adverse outcomes in surgical patients has been observed. This article describes the results of the expert consensus and the responses of the panelists on the nutritional management in routine clinical practice of patients with diabetes/hyperglycemia hospitalized (non-critically ill) in the perioperative setting.
