Association of bioelectrical impedance phase angle and nutritional status in patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Various tools for nutritional assessment are used in individuals undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), causing varying prevalence rates of malnutrition. This may explain the causal link between nutrition status and clinical outcomes. Phase angle (PhA), a derived metric obtained from bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is used to indicate the nutrition status and evaluate disease prognosis. The aims of this study is to investigate the role of PhA in assessing the nutritional status of patients undergoing PD and to propose new strategies for the perioperative nutritional management of these patients.

Methods

One hundred and seventy-three consecutive who underwent PD between March 2023 and September 2024 were evaluated and analyzed retrospectively. Comprehensiv
