ObjectiveTo investigate the association between the preoperative nutritional risk and anastomotic leakage following anterior resection for the rectal cancer. MethodsA total of 321 patients with rectal cancer underwent anterior resection in our hospital between January 2008 and December 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. Preoperative nutritional status was evaluated using NRS 2002. Correlation of clinicopathologic characteristics with postoperative anastomotic leakage was evaluated using single factor analysis and Logistic regression model. ResultsAmong the 321 patients, the incidence of postoperative anastomotic leakage was 5.6% (18/321). Single factor analysis showed that the NRS2002 score≥3, clinicalpathologic stage (Ⅲ-Ⅳstage) and distance of tumor from the anal verge were the risk factors of anastomotic leakage after anterior leakage following anterior resection for rectal cancer. Logistic regression analysis revealed that the NRS2002 score (OR=4.125, 95% CI=2.062-7.004), clinicalpathologic stage (OR=3.334, 95% CI=2.062-7.004) and the distance of tumor from the anal verge (OR=2.341, 95% CI=2.559-15.838) were the independent risk factors for anastomotic leakage after anterior leakage following anterior resection for rectal cancer. Conciusions Preoperative NRS2002 score is helpful to predict the risk of anastomotic leakage after anterior resection of rectal cancer. Nutrition education should be strengthened to decrease the morbidity of the anastomotic leakage following anterior resection for the patients who's NRS2002 score≥3.
ObjectiveTo investigate the status of undernutrition, nutritional risk as well as nutritional support in patients with gastrointestinal tumor. MethodsIn this prospective cohort study, patients with gastrointestinal tumor were recruited from Septemper 2009 to June 2011. Patients were screened by using Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS2002) at admission. Data of the nutritional risk, application of nutritional support, complications, and tumor staging were collected. ResultsNine hundred and sixty-one patients with gastrointestinal tumor were recruited, the overall prevalence of nutritional risk was 38.9% (374/961) at admission, 49.2% （176/358） in gastric tumor and 32.8% （198/603） in colorectal tumor, respectively. The highest prevalence was found in stage Ⅳ gastric tumor 〔87.3% (48/55)〕 and colorectal tumor 〔58.8% (50/85)〕 while the lowest prevalence was found in stage ⅡA gastric tumor 〔16.1% (5/31)〕 and stageⅠcolorectal tumor 〔9.8% (6/61)〕. 62.3% (152/244) of gastric tumor patients with nutritional risk while 48.6% (144/296) without nutritional risk received nutritional support. 37.7% (92/244) of colorectal tumor patients with nutritional risk while 51.4% (152/296) without nutritional risk received nutritional support. The ratio of parental nutrition and enteral nutrition was 1.251. The rate of complications in the gastrointestinal tumor patients with nutritional risk was higher than that in the patients without nutritional risk 〔32.4% (121/374) versus 20.4% (120/587), P=0.000 0〕. For the gastrointestinal tumor patients with nutritional risk, the complication rate of the patients with nutritional support was significantly lower than that of the patients without nutritional support 〔27.5% (67/244) versus 40.8% (53/130), P=0.008 6〕. For the gas trointestinal tumor patients without nutritional risk, the complication rate of gastric tumor patients with nutritional support was significantly lower than that of the patients without nutritional support (P=0.039 6), while the complication rate was not significantly different in the colorectal tumor patients with nutritional support or not (P=0.464 7). ConclusionsPatient with gastrointestinal tumor has a high nutritional risk which is related to tumor staging. Patients with nutritional risk have more complications, and nutritional support is beneficial to the patients with nutritional risk by a lower complication rate.
Objective To investigate the nutritional status of hospitalized patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), analyze the influencing factors, and construct a predictive model to provide a localized theoretical basis and more convenient risk prediction indicators and models for clinical nutrition support and intervention treatment of CKD patients in China. Methods Convenience sampling was used to select hospitalized CKD patients from Department of Nephrology, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, from January to October 2019. General information questionnaires, the Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 scale, and the Huaxi Emotional-distress Index questionnaire were used for data collection. Single factor analyses and multiple logistic regression analysis were conducted to explore the risk factors for malnutrition in CKD hospitalized patients. A predictive model was established and evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and bootstrap resampling. Results A total of 1059 valid copies of questionnaires were collected out of 1118 distributed. Among the 1059 CKD hospitalized patients, 207 cases (19.5%) were identified as having nutritional risk. The multiple logistic regression analysis showed that CKD stage [odds ratio (OR)=1.874, 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.631, 2.152), P<0.001], age [OR=1.015, 95%CI (1.003, 1.028), P=0.018], and the Huaxi Emotional-distress Index [OR=1.024, 95%CI (1.002, 1.048), P=0.033] were independent risk factors for malnutrition in CKD hospitalized patients, while serum albumin [OR=0.880, 95%CI (0.854, 0.907), P<0.001] was an independent protective factor. The evaluation of the multiple logistic regression analysis predictive model showed a concordance index of 0.977, standard deviation of 0.021, and P<0.05. The area under the ROC curve was 0.977. Conclusions The prevalence of malnutrition is relatively high among CKD hospitalized patients. CKD stage, age, psychological status, and serum albumin are influencing factors for malnutrition in CKD hospitalized patients. The multiple logistic regression model based on the above indicators demonstrates good predictive performance and is expected to provide assistance for early nutritional intervention to improve the clinical outcomes and quality of life for CKD patients with malnutrition in China.

Methods All the students were trained by the combination methods of PBL and CBS. Clinical assessment, data collection and the collection of samples were conducted by the students. Finally, the impact of the new teaching strategy was assessed. Results From June 2010 to July 2011, there were a total of 50 students who attended the training program from various departments, and 398 patients were screened for nutritional risk. Forty-five students (90%) thought that this teaching method could inspire their interest in study; 40 students (80%) thought that this teaching method could help them establish a scientific way of thinking. Students who thought this teaching methodology could contribute to their enhancement of writing and statistical skills accounted for only 40 percent of the total enrollment. “High learning burden”, “difficulty in adapting to the new teaching methods” and “the ability of self-study” were the main factors which affected the motivation of students. Conclusions Combined applications of PBL and CBS have advantages in improving students′ learning initiative and enthusiasm, and developing the abilities of team cooperation and interpersonal communication skills. However, there are still some issues that need to be addressed.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the impact of using alanyl-glutamine dipeptide on clinical outcome for gastric cancer patients with nutritional risk after total gastrectomy. MethodsThis study was carried out in the period from March to August 2015. The nutritional risk was screened by continuous sampling method in the new hospitalized patients with gastric cancer who would undergo total gastrectomy. The patients were grouped randomly. Alanyl-glutamine was given to the experimental group patients. The clinical data of the two groups were analyzed, such as the laboratory parame-ters of nutritional status and hepatorenal function, complications of surgery, the nutrition-related hospitalization day, etc. ResultsThe preoperative data were consistent in the two groups of the included 40 cases. The results showed, in the third and seventh days after surgery, the level of plasma albumin was higher in the experimental group than in the control group〔(33.9±5.6) g/L vs. (30.8±4.0) g/L and (36.6±3.9) g/L vs. (33.9±4.2) g/L, respectively). Also, the CD4+/CD8+ cells immune index was significantly improved in the experimental group after surgery (1.7±0.7 vs. 1.2±0.3, P < 0.05). The recovery time of intestinal function〔(65.7±5.3) h vs. (71.6±7.2)h, P < 0.01)〕and nutrition-related hospitalization day〔(10.1±1.8) d vs. (11.7±1.9)d, P < 0.01)〕in alanyl-glutamine dipeptide group were shorted than that in the control group. No serious adverse drug reactions were found in the patients during the treatment period. ConclusionApplication alanyl-glutamine to the patients with nutritional risk after total gastrectomy could partly improve clinical outcome indicators.
ObjectiveTo evaluate nutritional risk of patients with esophagus cancer before operation using nutritional risk screening 2002 (NRS2002), and explore the relationship between nutritional risk score and postoperative results. MethodsWe prospectively evaluated the nutritional risk of 225 patients with esophagus carcinoma patients who were admitted in Renji Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine between March 2012 and March 2013 using NRS2002, in accordance with disease severity score, nutritional status score and age score(age≥70 years old score was 1 point, < 70 years old for 0 point). There were 136 males and 89 females with age of 64.0±8.2 years (ranged from 41 to 85 years). Postoperative results include postoperative complications, mortality, and length of hospital stay. ResultsThe number of patients with preoperative score≥3 points was 75 (33.3%), < 3 points was 150 (66.7%). The incidence rate of postoperative complications was 26.7% in the patients with NRS2002 score≥3 points, and was 12.0% in those with NRS2002 score < 3 points(P < 0.05). And the total hospital stay time was longer in the patients with NRS2002 score≥3 points than that with NRS2002 score < 3 points(29.80±7.94 d vs. 15.30±2.05 d, P < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that the preoperative NRS2002, the underlying diseases, and surgical method were risk factors for postoperative complications. ConclusionsPreoperative NRS2002 score≥3 points can predict more postoperative complications and longer hospital stay time in patients with esophagus carcinoma. It indicates that scientific nutrition support is necessary for esophagus carcinoma patients with NRS2002 score≥3 points. NRS2002 can be used as a predictive index of nutritional risk after operation of esophagus carcinoma.
ObjectiveTo introduce the progresses and applications of nutritional status assessment in hospitalized patients. MethodsThe related literatures of nutritional status assessment were reviewed. ResultsThe rates of malnutrition and nutritional risk were high in hospitalized patients worldwide. Traditional nutrition assessment tools were not in common use in all hospitalized patients. All clinical health care workers should use the most suitable tool when faced with different patients. ConclusionAll hospitalized patients should be screened for nutritional risk on admission in order to improve clinical outcomes and reduce overall treatment costs.
ObjectiveTo investigate the guidance of preoperative nutritional risk screening in perioperative nutrition support for colon cancer, in order to provide evidence for the rationally clinical application of nutrition support. MethodsNutritional risk screening was carried out in 95 hospitalized patients with colon cancer who were treated in the Liao He Oil Center Hospital from Jul. 2012 to Jul. 2014, with the nutritional risk screening 2002 score summary table. Patients were divided into nutritional risk group and non-nutritional risk group according to the screening results, and postoperative bowel function recovery and nutritional indicators were compared between patients who received perioperative nutrition support according to the screening results and those who did not. ResultsThere were 29 patients received perioperative nutrition support among 53 patients at nutritional risk and 19 patients received perioperative nutrition support among 42 patients without nutritional risk. Among 53 patients at nutritional risk, the time to first flatus, time to first defecation, hospital stay, postoperative complications rate, and postoperative recurrence/metastasis rate of patients who received perioperative nutrition support were shorter or lower than those of patients who didn't receive perioperative nutrition support (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in mortality (P≥0.05); in addition, the levels of albumin, prealbumin, and transferring on 7-day after surgery were all higher in patients received perioperative nutrition support (P<0.05). Among 42 patients without nutritional risk, there was no significant difference in time to first flatus, time to first defecation, hospital stay, postoperative complications rate, postoperative recurrence/metastasis rate, and levels of albumin, prealbumin, and transferring on 1- and 7-day after surgery between patients received perioperative nutrition support and those who did not (P>0.05). ConclusionsIt is important to evaluate the nutritional risk in hospitalized patients with colon cancer. Nutritional support is benefical to the patients with nutritional risk, but it isn't necessary to patients without nutritional risk.
