Effect of comprehensive nutrition intervention mode on outcome of patients with gastric cancer undergoing chemotherapy
Obj ective:To investigate the effect of a comprehensive nutritional intervention model on the nutritional status and quality of life of gastric cancer patients.Methods:A total of 120 gastric cancer patients hospitalized in the Oncology Department of Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University from March 2020 to March 2022 were selected for the study.Patients were randomly divided into two groups using a random number table,with 60 patients in each group.The control group received standard care,while the observation group received a comprehensive nutritional intervention model in addition to standard care.BMI,triceps skinfold thickness,and mid-upper arm circumference were measured before the intervention and after four cycles of chemotherapy.Serum protein,total serum protein,hemoglobin levels,and quality of life scores in various dimensions were also observed.Results:After the intervention,nutritional indicators in the observation group were significantly higher than those with the control group,and the quality of life scores in various dimensions were markedly higher in the observation group compared with the control group(all P<0.01).Conclusion:The comprehensive nutritional intervention model can effectively improve the nutritional status and quality of life of gastric cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy,thereby improving patient outcomes.
