Clinical observations in developing countries and experimental studies in animals suggest that preoperative weight loss adversely affects postoperative morbidity. Since it is not clear whether these findings can be applied to surgical series in European countries, we have studied 106 surgically-treated patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Patients were divided into three groups according to the degree of preoperative weight loss. The groups were well matched in all other respects. Postoperative morbidity was monitored independently. The outcome in all three groups was similar so that in these patients, at least, preoperative weight loss did not adversely affect the postoperative outcome.
发展中国家的临床观察和动物实验研究表明，术前体重减轻会对术后发病率产生不利影响。由于尚不清楚这些发现是否适用于欧洲国家的外科手术病例系列，我们对106例接受手术治疗的炎症性肠病患者进行了研究。根据术前体重减轻的程度将患者分为三组。其他方面三组患者匹配良好。独立监测术后发病率。三组的结果相似，因此至少在这些患者中，术前体重减轻并未对术后结果产生不利影响。
