Summary

This study is testing whether simple nutritional checks before heart surgery can predict how well patients recover. Researchers will give 250 patients questionnaires, blood and urine tests, and measure grip strength and body composition. They will then see if these measures are linked to time in the ICU, hospital stay length, and complications after surgery. The goal is to find a practical way to identify patients who might need nutritional support before their operation.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to: If successful, this could help doctors identify which heart surgery patients need nutritional support before their operation to improve recovery.
What could go wrong: This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It will only show links, not prove that improving nutrition changes outcomes.
