In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This prospective observational cohort study examines the energy requirements and nutritional care of patients undergoing total or partial pancreatectomy for pancreatic tumors. Patients undergoing pancreatectomy face major metabolic stress, a high burden of preoperative malnutrition, and frequent exocrine or endocrine insufficiency, yet procedure-specific nutritional guidance is limited. The study measures resting energy expenditure (REE) directly by indirect calorimetry during the early postoperative period and compares it with widely used predictive equations (Harris-Benedict, Schofield) and simplified weight-based targets (25 and 30 kcal/kg) to determine how accurately clinicians can estimate energy needs when calorimetry is unavailable. In the same patients, the study records the route of postoperative nutrition (enteral, parenteral, or combined), energy and protein intake relative to
