Brief summary

The aim of this retrospective observational study is to determine the impact of preoperative nutritional status on postoperative outcome. Elective surgical patients were screened with Bio-Impedance-Analysis, Malnutritional Universal Screening Tool, and other variables for body composition. Outcome parameters were collected by patient chart review.
