ObjectiveTo explore the diagnostic efficacy of Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) in malnutrition of elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in outpatient department. MethodsOne hundred and five elderly outpatients with COPD were enrolled in the study, and their nutritional screening was carried out. The clinical and laboratory parameters of patients in the normal nutrition group (high GNRI group) and malnutrition group (low GNRI group) were compared, and the correlation analysis was conducted. The diagnostic efficacy of GNRI was evaluated based on the malnutrition universal screening tool (MUST). ResultsThe prevalence of malnutrition was high in COPD elderly outpatients. The prevalence of malnutrition in group D was 61.8%. There were significant differences between the two groups in body mass index, serum albumin, FEV1 percentage in the predicted value, 6-minute walk distance, and the number of acute exacerbations in the past year. GNRI was significantly related to the above parameters. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of GNRI were 81.8%, 83.6% and 82.9%, using MUST as the standard. ConclusionGNRI can be used for nutritional screening of COPD patients in elderly outpatients, which is simple, convenient and relatively accurate, and can be popularized in other medical institutions.
ObjectiveTo understand the impact of preoperative nutritional status on the postoperative complications for patients with low/ultra-low rectal cancer undergoing extreme sphincter-preserving surgery following neoadjuvant therapy. MethodsThe patients with low/ultra-low rectal cancer who underwent extreme sphincter-preserving surgery following neoadjuvant therapy from January 2009 to December 2020 were retrospectively collected using the Database from Colorectal Cancer (DACCA), and then who were assigned into a nutritional risk group (the score was low than 3 by the Nutrition Risk Screening 2002) and non-nutritional risk group (the score was 3 or more by the Nutrition Risk Screening 2002). The postoperative complications and survival were analyzed for the patients with or without nutritional risk. The postoperative complications were defined as early-term (complications occurring within 30 d after surgery), middle-term (complications occurring during 30–180 d after surgery), and long-term (complications occurring at 180 d and more after surgery). The survival indicators included overall survival and disease-specific survival. ResultsA total of 680 patients who met the inclusion criteria for this study were retrieved from the DACCA database. Among them, there were 500 (73.5%) patients without nutritional risk and 180 (26.5%) patients with nutritional risk. The postoperative follow-up time was 0–152 months (with average 48.9 months). Five hundreds and forty-three survived, including 471 (86.7%) patients with free-tumors survival and 72 (13.3%) patients with tumors survival. There were 137 deaths, including 122 (89.1%) patients with cancer related deaths and 15 (10.9%) patients with non-cancer related deaths. There were 48 (7.1%) cases of early-term postoperative complications, 51 (7.5%) cases of middle-term complications, and 17 (2.5%) cases of long-term complications. There were no statistical differences in the incidence of overall complications between the patients with and without nutritional risk (χ2=3.749, P=0.053; χ2=2.205, P=0.138; χ2=310, P=0.578). The specific complications at different stages after surgery (excluding the anastomotic leakage complications in the patients with nutritional risk was higher in patients without nutritional risk, P=0.034) had no statistical differences between the two groups (P>0.05). The survival curves (overall survival and disease-specific survival) using the Kaplan-Meier method had no statistical differences between the patients with and without nutritional risk (χ2=3.316, P=0.069; χ2=3.712, P=0.054). ConclusionsFrom the analysis results of this study, for the rectal cancer patients who underwent extreme sphincter-preserving surgery following neoadjuvant therapy, the patients with preoperative nutritional risk are more prone to anastomotic leakage within 30 d after surgery. Although other postoperative complications and long-term survival outcomes have no statistical differences between patients with and without nutritional risk, preoperative nutritional management for them cannot be ignored.
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.

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.
【摘要】 目的 调查胃癌患者的营养风险及营养支持应用现状。 方法 2009年9月-2010年1月，对某三甲医院普外科收治的120例胃癌住院患者营养情况进行营养风险筛查2002（nutritional risk screening 2002，NRS 2002）评估，并就营养支持应用方式进行分析。 结果 所有患者中营养不足和营养风险的发生率分别为11.7%和27.5%；在33例有营养风险患者中，有26例（78.8％）接受了营养支持；在无营养风险的87例患者中，有30例（34.5％）接受了营养支持。 结论 对有营养风险的患者进行必要的营养支持，对于减少患者住院期间感染性并发症或其他不良临床结局的发生有积极作用。NRS 2002的方法简便，适用于胃癌患者的营养风险筛查，但医护人员需要进一步加强对肠外、肠内营养指南的认识。【Abstract】 Objective To investigate the clinical situation of nutritional risk screening for hospitalized patients with gastric cancer. Methods From September 2009 to January 2010, we applied nutrition risk screening 2002 (NRS 2002) to investigate the nutritional status of 120 hospitalized gastric cancer patients in the surgery department of a tertiary hospital, and analyzed the way of nutritional support for these patients. Results Among all the patients, the incidences of undernutrtion and nutritional risk were respectively 11.7% and 27.5%. Twenty-six out of the 33 nutritional risk patients received nutrition support, and 30 out of the 87 patients without nutritional risk received nutrition support. Conclusions Nutritional support for patients with nutritional risk is important in decreasing the occurrence of in-hospital infectious complications and other bad clinical outcomes. NRS 2002 is a simple and easy tool for predicting the nutrition risk in hospitalized gastric cancer patients, but the guideline of enteral nutrition and parenteral nutrition must be reinforced among doctors and nurses.

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.
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.
