Multicenter Study[French survey on perioperative nutrition in cirrhotic adult patients waiting for liver transplantation].
The European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (EPSEN) guidelines on nutrition for liver disease patients has been recently updated. The aim of our study was to evaluate perioperative nutrition in cirrhotic patients waiting for liver transplantation (LT). ⋯ Perioperative nutritional practices in cirrhotic patients waiting for LT are heterogeneous between centers, especially about nutrition assessment. Most of the centres did not follow the actual guidelines.
