Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the prevalence of malnutrition in hospitalized patients with lung cancer in China using the global leadership initiative on malnutrition (GLIM) criteria.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed with 623 lung cancer patients selected from the national multi-center prospective investigation database in 2014. The diagnosis of malnutrition was according to GLIM criteria with muscle mass reduction not included. The prevalence of malnutrition in patients with lung cancer was investigated and the correlation between malnutrition diagnosis per GLIM criteria and anthropometry as well as laboratory indexes was explored.Results:Among the 623 lung cancer patients, 33.5% (209) were at nutritional risk as per Nutritional Risk Screening 2002, 17.8% (111) were malnourished as per GLIM criteria. There were significant differences in age, body weight, body mass index, arm circumference, leg circumference, grip strength, hemoglobin, albumin, total protein and prealbumin between malnutrition and non-malnutrition groups as diagnosed with GLIM criteria ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The nutritional risk and malnutrition prevalence in lung cancer patients are relatively high. The nutritional risk screening of lung cancer patients should be standardized and the GLIM criteria can be used for the diagnosis of malnutrition.
