Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
An economic evaluation of perioperative enteral nutrition in patients undergoing colorectal surgery (SANICS II study).
The objective of this (trial based) economic evaluation was to assess, from a societal perspective, the cost-effectiveness of perioperative enteral nutrition compared with standard care in patients undergoing colorectal surgery. ⋯ This study suggests that perioperative nutrition is not beneficial for the patients in terms of quality-of-life and is not cost-effective.
