The Association of Food Insecurity and Surgical Outcomes Among Patients Undergoing Surgery for Colorectal Cancer.

Background: Food insecurity predisposes individuals to suboptimal nutrition, leading to chronic disease and poor outcomes.

Objective: We sought to assess the impact of county-level food insecurity on colorectal surgical outcomes.

Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Impact of Food Insecurity on Outcomes Following Resection of Hepatopancreaticobiliary Cancer.

Introduction: Food insecurity (FI) may predispose individuals to suboptimal nutrition, leading to chronic disease and poor health outcomes. We sought to assess the impact of county-level FI on postoperative outcomes among patients undergoing resection of hepatopancreaticobiliary (HPB) cancer.

Methods: Patients who were diagnosed with HPB cancer between 2010 and 2015 were identified from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER)-Medicare database.
