Analysis of the Effectiveness of Enteral Nutritional Support for Elderly Pa-tients Hospitalized at Advanced Ages
Objective To analyze the effect of enteral nutritional support in elderly patients hospitalized at advanced age.Methods The clinical data of 66 cases of elderly patients hospitalized in the Department of Geriatrics,Beijing Chuiyangliu Hospital from February 2022 to February 2023 were retrospective selected,and were divided into 33 cases each in the observation group and the control group according to the mode of treatment.The control group prac-ticed the intravenous route to provide nutritional support,and the observation group used enteral nutritional interven-tion.The treatment effects of the two groups were compared.Results The blood albumin(28.12±5.63)g/L,prealbumin(0.18±0.02)g/L,transferrin(1.62±0.28)g/L,and hemoglobin(128.69±15.75)g/L of the observation group were higher than those of the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(all P<0.05).Albumin transaminase(29.96±6.56)U/L,glutamine transaminase(25.52±7.65)U/L,total bilirubin(15.12±1.89)µmol/L,and blood creati-nine(100.47±15.64)µmol/L in the observation group were lower than in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(all P<0.05).The complication rate of gastrointestinal reactions in the observation group was higher than that of the control group,and the infection rate was lower than that of the control group,and the differ-ences were statistically significant(both P<0.05).Conclusion The effect of the application of enteral nutrition in the nutritional support of elderly patients hospitalized at a high age is outstanding.
