Abstract

Patients with Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are prone to high rates of malnutrition [1]. There are several factors inherent to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that affect nutritional status including hypermetabolism associated with chronic inflammation, anorexia, and malabsorption [2] as well as intestinal obstruction and ileus. Assessing malnutrition in this patient population can be challenging as there is no gold-standard test available to evaluate a patient’s nutritional status [1]. However, managing the preoperative nutritional status of IBD patients is of critical importance due to the high risk of postoperative complications associated with nutritional deficits.
