Abstract:
Objective? To investigate the risks of malnutrition in patients with lung cancer during chemotherapy and to analyze their influencing factors. Methods? The inpatients with lung cancer receiving chemotherapy in the Department of Respiratory Medicine, Enze Medical Center from September 2017 to August 2018 were selected by convenient sampling. The 112 patients were divided into groups according to Nutrition Risk Screen (NRS) 2002. Their general information, diet and malnutrition risks were investigated successively. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the influencing factors to malnutrition risks of the patients during chemotherapy. Results? Totally 112 patients completed the study. 28 of them showed no risk of malnutrition, while 84 had risks of malnutrition. There were statistically significant differences in age, place of residency, household monthly income, nutritional management, tumor staging, intake of protein and fat, nausea, emesis and diarrhea between two groups with different nutrition conditions(P＜ 0.01). Logistic regression analysis revealed that age, place of residency,monthly income, nutritional management, tumor staging, intake of protein, nausea, emesis and diarrhea were the risk factors of malnutrition in patients with lung cancer during chemotherapy. Conclusions? Patients with lung cancer are at high risk of malnutrition during chemotherapy. Age, nutritional management, tumor staging, intake of protein, nausea, emesis and diarrhea are the risk factors of malnutrition in patients during chemotherapy. Effective nutritional management intervention shall be made for patients as early as possible, so as to reduce the incidence and worsening of malnutrition and improve patients' effects and quality of life.
