Abstract:
Objective To compare diversity and diagnostic concordance of Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) with Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS2002) in evaluating nutritional status among gastrointestinal cancer patients. Methods Two hundred and twenty-three patients with gastrointestinal cancer were conveniently selected and evaluated by SGA and NRS within 48h of admission from April to October 2009 using cross-sectional study. Diversity and diagnostic concordance between SGA and NRS2002 were analyzed by McNemar paired chi- square test and Kappa test. Results All patients completed both NRS2002 and SGA. The prevalence of nutritional risk or undernutrition evaluated by NRS2002 or SGA was 61% versus 32. 3%. There was a significant difference between NRS2002 and SGA after conducting McNemar paired chi-square test (P <0. 01) but diagnostic concordance of SGA and NRS2002 was poor (Kappa = 0.368, P < 0. 01). Conclusions Both NRS2002 and SGA were feasible in evaluating nutritional status in gastrointestinal cancer patients, but there was deference between NRS2002 and SGA. NRS2002 had higher sensitivity to detect early under nutrition and was more suitable in prevention under nutrition than SGA in gastrointestinal cancer patients.
