Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the perioperative nutritional risk of patients with colorectal cancer. Methods Totally, the nutritional risk of 144 colorectal cancer patients who were newly admitted to our hospital and were radiotherapy-naive or chemotherapy-naive were evaluated using Nutritonal Risk Screening 2002 (NRS2002 ) before operation and two weeks after operation. Meanwhile, hemoglobin, serum levels of albumin and prealbumin, total lymphocyte count were measured and the postoperative complications were observed. Results The incidence of preoperative nutritional risk was 22. 91% (33/144). The predicted incidence of postoperative nutritional risk was 43. 06% (62/144), while the actual incidence was 54. 86% (79/144) (x2 =4. 016, P < 0.05). About 10. 13% of patients whose preoperative nutritional risk score≥3 experienced complications, while only 1. 54% of patients whose preoperative nutritional risk score < 3 had complications (x2 = 3. 065, P < 0.05). Conclusions The perioperative (especially postoperative) nutrition risk is high in patients with colorectal cancer. Patients with higher nutrition risk tend to experience postoperative complications.
