Colorectal Surgery Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Study to Evaluate the Palatability of a Nutritional Support Biscuit (Fitabisc)
A study to evaluate the palatability of a nutritional support biscuit (Fitabisc) in patients about to undergo colorectal surgery.
The question of preoperative supplementation raises another issue about how this might be
provided for patients, especially at home.
The Chief Investigator has formulated a new biscuit 'Fitabisc' that contains the key
antioxidants; vitamins C and E, selenium and glutamine. The advantage of a biscuit is that
all ingredients of interest are combined within the one item and so this may be easier for
patients to 'take' than other types of supplement. A survey involving 17 community pharmacies
in England and Northern Ireland found that 60% of patients aged 60 - 89 years had difficulty
swallowing tablets and capsules. The consistency of the biscuit is softer than traditional
shortbread and crumbs readily which we hope will make it easy to eat.
The aim of this study is to test the palatability of Fitabisc and whether patients undergoing
abdominal surgery can eat it in the desired quantities for 10 days before they are admitted
to hospital.
In summary, most studies to date have looked perioperative or postoperative supplementation
with antioxidants alone. No attempt has been made to do this using a palatable biscuit that
would facilitate preoperative oral supplementation. If this study confirms the palatability
of the biscuit and there is adherence to eating it then it would be our intention to set up a
prospective randomized study in which the potential efficacy of Fitabisc would be evaluated.
