Abstract
Background: Crohn's disease (CD) is associated with malnutrition, an independent risk factor for surgical morbidity and mortality in more than 65% of patients, with a significant impact on disease outcomes. In this single-center retrospective cohort study, we aimed to investigate the impact of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) on the surgical outcomes of patients with CD.
Methods: This study included patients with CD who underwent abdominal surgery. We compared patients who received preoperative total parenteral nutrition (TPN group) to those who did not (non-TPN group). Prolonged oral intolerance, albumin level <30 g/L, and body mass index <18.5 were the main indications for TPN. We evaluated postoperative surgical complications in both groups.
Results: Between January 2010 and October 2018, 169 eligible patients underwent abdominal surgery. The TPN and non-TPN groups included 40 and 129 patients, respectively. The mean albumin level was significantly lower in the TPN group (P = 0.013). Laparoscopic surgery was performed in 76.9% of the patients, with a conversion rate of 11.6%. Infectious and non-infectious complications developed in 8.9% and 16% of patients, respectively. Surgical complications were comparable between the groups (P >0.05).
Conclusions: Despite oral intake intolerance and severe disease in the TPN group, the surgical complications were comparable between the groups.
期刊介绍:
The Saudi Journal of Gastroenterology (SJG) is an open access peer-reviewed publication. Authors are invited to submit articles in the field of gastroenterology, hepatology and nutrition, with a wide spectrum of coverage including basic science, epidemiology, diagnostics, therapeutics, public health, and standards of health care in relation to the concerned specialty. Review articles are usually by invitation. However review articles of current interest and a high standard of scientific value could also be considered for publication.
