The nutritional fate of the undernourished surgical patient in convalescence.

چکیده
Patients requiring intravenous nutrition possess a wide variety of metabolic and nutritional abnormalities before therapy is started (Woods & Marston, 1977; Newton et al. 1979).

The purpose of this study was to compare nutritional and metabolic measurements in a group of undernourished surgical patients before and immediately after a course of parented feeding, and during convalescence.
