It was approved by the local ethical committee and included 150 patients who underwent emergency major abdominal surgeries and agreed to participate in the study. All patients included were clinically assessed and underwent laboratory and radiological investigations based on their presentation. Data required to calculate the three nutritional indices were collected. Patients underwent their specific surgery and received postoperative care in either the surgical ICU or surgical ward according to standard protocols based on the type of surgery.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Males comprised 64.70% of the study populations with a mean age of 48.48\u2009\u00b1\u200915.80 years and a mean BMI of 29.55\u2009\u00b1\u20094.99\u00a0kg\/m2. The preoperative diagnosis was peritonitis due to various etiologies in 50.7% of patients, while 21.3% were diagnosed with intestinal obstruction.
