Description
Qiang Hu and Yuanshui Sun review in 2026 how poor nutrition before and after surgery raises the risk of wound infection. Malnourished patients heal more slowly and fight infection less well. Clinics have several scoring tools, yet each captures a different slice of risk, which can leave teams unsure which one to use.
Two detailed tools best define clear malnutrition based on weight, intake and muscle loss plus patient report. Three blood and body based scores give fast, objective risk numbers for busy settings. Rather than picking one winner, the authors propose a step-by-step path that screens early, confirms the pattern, grades risk, acts, then checks again after surgery. They stress that the path is a model needing prospective testing before routine adoption.
