Oral Protein Supplements for Nutritional and Quality of Life Improvement After Pancreatic Resection in Elderly Patients

Summary

This study investigates the effects of oral protein supplements on the nutritional status and quality of life in elderly patients following standard pancreatic resection. The research aims to determine whether these supplements can improve protein intake and contribute to better skeletal muscle mass, which is critical for recovery and overall health. The study hypothesizes that higher compliance with protein supplementation will be positively correlated with increased protein intake and improved muscle mass index, potentially leading to enhanced postoperative outcomes in this patient population.
