Abstract:
A retrospective study of 102 patients, analysing the incidence of malnutrition, was done in the Digestive Surgery Department of the Queen Sophia University Hospital, Cordoba. Patients were subjected to a protocol of nutritional evaluation to find out their nutritional condition and type and degree of malnutrition. The high incidence of malnutrition sufferers (> 80%) at the time of hospital admission was confirmed, being more noticeable in neoplastic patients.
