[The value of anthropometric parameters in the prediction of surgical risk].
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.
