Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1 Estimate the prevalence of micronutrient deficiency in children undergoing major surgery. 2 Outline the relationship between micro nutrient deficiency and clinical outcomes in children undergoing non-emergent surgeryTimepoint: The blood samples will be collected and stored as per lab requirements. they will be analysed for the values in batches of 50-100. This would approximately be once in 3 months based on our hospital statistics. final assessment will be at completion of study ( 300 now) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1 To correlate micronutrient deficiency, anthropometry and conventional nutritional parameters to identify and define pre-surgical nutritional indicators predictive of nutrition related complications so as to aid in development of uniform screening tools that suits Indian population 2 Evidence-based analysis of the impact of micro nutrient deficiency on patient outcomes Timepoint: 2 years | — |
