  • Title: [The value of anthropometric parameters in the prediction of surgical risk].
    Author: de Miguel Velasco M, Ortiz Hurtado H, Pérez Cabañas I.
    Journal: Nutr Hosp; 1989; 4(3):142-4. PubMed ID: 2485363.
    Abstract:
    The preoperative nutritional state of a sample of surgical patients was studied, relating this to postoperative complications and mortality. No significant relation was found to exist between the anthropometric parameters used and the complications and/or mortality, which was seen to have little prognostic value.
