Abstract:
Objective To investigate the rates of undernutrition and nutritional risks of surgical pa-tients with pancreatic tumors .Methods Totally 121 surgical patients with pancreatic tumors from Depart-ment of Surgery Beijing Hospital were enrolled in a prospective study during January 2014 to December 2015 . Patients were divided into two groups:the pancreatic cancer group ( n=90 ) and other pancreatic tumor group ( n=31 ) .Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 was used to assess the nutritional status .Other data including an-thropometric measure, body composition, blood biochemistry and clinical outcome were collected and ana-lyzed.Results Among 121 patients, the mean age was ( 61.9 ±13.6 ) years, the mean body mass index was ( 23.20 ±2.95) kg/m2 , the mean mid-upper circumference was ( 28.8 ±3.5 ) cm, the mean muscle weight was (44.6 ±7.4) kg, and the mean fat mass was (16.8 ±7.6) kg .There was no significantly differ-ence in anthropometric measurement results and body compositions between two groups ( all P>0.05 ) .In the pancreatic cancer group, albumin [ (39.0 ±4.7) g/L vs. (42.3 ±2.9) g/L, P<0.001], total protein [ (62.8 ±6.2) g/L vs.(66.3 ±2.9) g/L, P<0.001], and prealbumin [ (136.1 ±85.4) mg/L vs. (197.8 ±112.6 ) mg/L, P=0.011 ] were significantly lower than those in the other pancreatic tumor group and a higher fasting blood-glucose [ (6.45 ±2.47) mmol/L vs.(4.95 ±0.79) mmol/L, P<0.011] was found.Among all patients , the rates of undernutrition and nutritional risk were 4.1% and 78.5%, and the pancreatic cancer group had a higher rate of nutritional risk (91.1% vs.38.7%,χ2 =36.525, P<0.001). Conclusion In this prospective study , surgical patients with pancreatic cancer have a high incidence of nutri -tional risk, with low protein level and abnormal glucose metabolism .
