Core Tip Gastrointestinal recovery is crucial after radical gastrectomy; however, delayed gastrointestinal recovery is a common complication following surgery, affecting postoperative outcomes. Age ≥ 65 years, underweight status, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) grade III, preoperative hypoalbuminemia, tumour, node, and metastasis (TNM) stage III and total gastrectomy were all identified as independent risk factors in this retrospective cohort study. After Bootstrap validation, a Nomogram including these variables showed good discrimination, calibration and clinical utility. Five of the six predictors (age, body mass index, ASA grade, serum albumin, and TNM stage) are identifiable preoperatively within a standard diagnostic workup, while total gastrectomy is determined intraoperatively. This accessibility enables early preoperative risk stratification and guides individualised perioperative management. Application of this approach may help to optimize nutritional intervention, ameliorate surgical planning and contribute to improvement in enhanced recovery after surgery inductees allowing for an expedited return of gastrointestinal activity along with prognostically favorable outcomes for the patient.
