Abstract
Objective To assess nutrition and quality of life (QOL) in the patients with digestive cancer. Methods Nutritional status was assessed by patient-generated subjective global assessment (PG-SGA), laboratory testing of serum prealbumin, albumin and hemoglobin and by nutritional risk screening 2002 (NRS-2002) for 188 patients with digestive cancer on admission. The correlation of assessment with these methods was analyzed. QOL was assessed using EORTC QLQ-C30 and compared among different nutritional status. Results Using PG-SGA assessment, we found 39 patients (20.7%) in good nutritional status, 102 patients (54.3%) in mild-moderate malnutrition and 47 patients (25.0%) in severe malnutrition. The results from the evaluation of PG-SGA correlated significantly with those with laboratory testing and NRS-2002 (P<0.05). There were significant differences of serum prealbumin, albumin, hemoglobin and NRS-2001 scores among the patients in different nutritional status. The significant differences were found in physical function, role function, social function, fatigue, nausea/vomiting, pain, dyspnea, sleepless, appetite loss, financial difficulties and general health status (P<0.05) among patients in different nutritional status but not in emotion function, cognitive function, constipation and diarrhea (P>0.05). Conclusions PG-SGA might be of higher value for the assessment of nutritional status of patients with digestive cancer. A large percentage of the patients with digestive cancer on admission were in malnutrition status and nutritional status of the patients was associated closely with QOL.关键词
