Standard Nutritional Assessment Tools Are Unable to Predict Loss of Muscle Mass in Patients Due to Undergo Pancreatico-Duodenectomy: Highlighting the Need for Detailed Nutritional Assessment.

Background And Methods: Pancreatico-duodenectomy (PD) carries significant morbidity and mortality, with very few modifiable risk factors. Radiological evidence of sarcopenia is associated with poor outcomes. This retrospective study aimed to analyse the relationship between easy-to-use bedside nutritional assessment techniques and radiological markers of muscle loss to identify those patients most likely to benefit from prehabilitation.
