ESSO 43 | Survey shows late malnutrition screening in surgery impacts patient outcomes and complications

Laura Lorenzon, MD, PhD, Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli, Rome, Italy, discusses a global survey conducted with surgeons, revealing that nearly 30% of patients are screened for malnutrition only upon surgical admission. This late screening is problematic, as it often occurs when the issue can no longer be effectively addressed, significantly impacting postoperative outcomes and complications. This interview took place at the ESSO 43 congress in Antwerp, Belgium.
