CNS Guidelines Podcast_ Preoperative Nutritional Assessment

Preoperative malnutrition has been implicated in adverse events after elective surgery, potentially impacting patient outcomes. As a potentially modifiable risk factor, this guideline attempts to determine which assessments of nutritional status were associated with specific adverse events after spine surgery. In addition, this guideline explores if a preoperative nutritional improvement intervention may be beneficial in lowering the rates of these adverse events. J. Bradley Elder, MD Erica F.
