Nutritional risk in major abdominal surgery: NURIMAS Liver (DRKS00010923) - protocol of a prospective observational trial to evaluate the prognostic value of different nutritional scores in hepatic surgery

NURIMAS Liver is a bicentric, prospective observational trial. The aim of this study is to investigate the predictive value of clinical nutritional assessment scores on postoperative morbidity and mortality after hepatic resection. This is necessary, as only a validated identification of malnourished patients at high risk for postoperative complications, enables targeted preventive action.
