Dietary Survey After Colorectal Surgery Within an Enhanced Recovery

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This observational study will quantify caloric-protein intake in 75 patients undergoing colorectal surgery within an enhanced recovery program at CHU Liège. A dietary survey will be performed preoperatively and repeated postoperatively via telephone calls on Day + 3, Day + 7; Day + 15, and Day + 30, after leaving the hospital. The deficits observed will be correlated with the medical and surgical characteristics of the patients

Clinical Trial Description

For several years, we have been applying the concept of Enhanced Recovery Program (ERP) for colorectal surgery at CHU Liége (Belgium). Since October 2015, the University Hospital of Liège has been labelled as reference center for ERP after colorectal surgery by a French-speaking organization GRACE (French-speaking group for Enhanced Recovery after Surgery; www.grace-asso.fr). Despite the benefits for the patient and the economic benefits of such programs, some criticize ERP arguing that patients are asked to return home too early, while they have not recovered a satisfactory autonomy. Few studies have investigated the comfort and quality of home life of patients who have had ERP. We recently conducted a retrospective study to evaluate this quality of life. It turns out that patients report little postoperative pain, a sufficient degree of autonomy at home, and a high general satisfaction score (> 8.5 on a numerical scale of 0 to 10). However dietary and digestive difficulties were described by about one third of the patients questioned. [6] Others have also reported a caloric-protein deficit during the immediate postoperative period after colorectal surgery, up to the 7th day in some of their patients [7].

Aim of the study. The aim of this study is to assess caloric-protein intake up to one month after colorectal surgery within ERP.

General description. This observational study will quantify caloric-protein intake in 75 patients undergoing colorectal surgery according to an ERP at CHU Liège. A dietary survey will be performed preoperatively and repeated postoperatively via telephone calls on Day + 3, Day + 7; Day + 15, and Day + 30, after leaving the hospital. The deficits observed will be correlated with the medical and surgical characteristics of the patients. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
