Primary focus will be the caloric deficit on Day -1. * Nutritional status of the patient based on information from the patient charts. For this, three tools will be applied independently: Subjective Global Assessment (SGA), NUTRIC Score, ESPEN diagnosis of malnutrition The study will be performed in 8 Latin American countries.
