Abstract:
Objective:To explore the impact of early postoperative hypocaloric parenteral nutrition on perioperative infectious complications in patients undergoing hepatectomy for primary hepatic carcinoma.Methods:The data of 205 patients who underwent hepatectomy for primary hepatic carcinoma in the Division of Hepatobiliary and Transplantation Surgery at Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital between February 2020 and December 2022 were collected by a single center prospective cohort study. The patients were divided into a hypocaloric group ( n=108) and a normal calorie group ( n=97) based on whether they received hypocaloric parenteral nutrition within 72 hours postoperatively. The influence of early parenteral nutrition caloric on perioperative infectious complications was analyzed. Measurement data with normal distribution were expressed as mean±standard deviation ( ± s) and compared using t-test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were expressed as M( Q1, Q3) and compared using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test. Comparison of categorical data was performed using the chi-square test or Fisher′s exact test. To adjust for confounding factors, patients were grouped for comparison based on whether they experienced infectious complications within the 30-day postoperative follow-up period. Factors that may influence postoperative infectious complications were first analyzed using univariate analysis, and variables with statistical significance were then included in multivariate analysis. Results:A total of 82 patients experiencing infectious complications, resulting in an incidence rate of 40.0%. Patients in the hypocaloric parenteral nutrition group had significantly lower rates of hyperglycemic events (17.6% vs 29.9%, P=0.038) and gastrointestinal reactions (12.0% vs 22.7%, P=0.043) compared to the normal calorie parenteral nutrition group, with no intergroup differences in other nutrition-related complications. Univariate analysis results revealed that hypocaloric parenteral nutrition, hepatocellular carcinoma, malnutrition assessed by the GLIM criteria, open surgery, major hepatectomy, perioperative hyperglycemic events, and the presence of pleural or ascitic fluid were potential influencing factors for the occurrence of infectious complications ( P<0.05). Multivariate analysis results suggested that malnutrition ( OR=2.707, 95% CI: 1.153-6.354, P=0.022), open surgery ( OR=2.103, 95% CI: 1.073-4.122, P=0.030), perioperative hyperglycemic events ( OR=2.630, 95% CI: 1.228-5.631, P=0.013), and the presence of pleural or ascitic fluid ( OR=2.714, 95% CI: 1.388-5.306, P=0.004) were risk factors for perioperative infectious complications in patients undergoing hepatectomy for primary hepatic carcinoma, while early postoperative hypocaloric parenteral nutrition ( OR=0.388, 95% CI: 0.199-0.757, P=0.006) was a protective factor. Conclusion:For patients undergoing hepatectomy for primary hepatic carcinoma, early postoperative hypocaloric parenteral nutrition may reduce the incidence of perioperative infectious complications compared to normal caloric parenteral nutrition, thereby improving patient clinical outcomes.
