Pre-operative Nutrition for IBD Surgery
This study is looking at whether improving nutrition before surgery can help patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) who are having intestinal surgery. You would work with a nutrition specialist to improve your diet, potentially using oral nutrition supplements or feeding through a vein (parenteral nutrition). All participants will also receive Ensure Surgery Immunonutrition Shakes before and after surgery. The study aims to see if these nutritional approaches can reduce the length of your hospital stay and the number of major complications after surgery. We are looking for adults aged 18 and older with a confirmed IBD diagnosis who are scheduled for intestinal surgery at NYU Langone Health.

What this trial measures
- Length of hospital stayUp to 30 days post-surgery
From the time the patient is admitted at hospital for surgery until the patient is discharged.
- Proportion of patients who experienced postoperative major complicationsVisit 3 (30 days post-surgery)
Major complications include infection, bleeding (requiring blood transfusion or requiring intervention), cardiac event (myocardial infarction, arrhythmia, and cardiac arrest), stroke, acute kidney injury (increase in serum creatinine of ≥0.3 mg/dL from baseline or ≥1.5 times baseline), venous thromboembolism, reoperation, readmission, and need for ICU-level care. The outcome measure will be obtained from the electronic health record (EHR).
