Objective:To investigate the influence of perioperative oral nutritional supple-mentation on short-term efficacy of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) for obesity patients.Methods:The prospective study was conducted. The clinical data of 218 obesity patients who underwent LSG in the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University from January 2018 to December 2021 were selected. Patients receiving perioperative oral nutritional supplementation were allocated into the experiment group, and patients receiving perioperative conventional treatment were allo-cated into the control group, respectively. Observation indicators: (1) grouping situations of the enrolled patients; (2) postoperative situations and follow-up; (3) nutrition related indicators; (4) dietary compliance; (5) weight loss related indicators. Follow-up was conducted using telephone interview, WeChat communication and outpatient examination to detect albumin (ALB), hemoglobin (HB), dietary compliance and weight loss related indicators of patients up to February 2022. Patients were followed up once every 30 days after discharge. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was conducted using the indepen-dent sample t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range), and comparison between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Count data were described as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was performed using the chi-square test. Repeated measurement data were analyzed using the repeated ANOVA. Comparison of ordinal data was analyzed using the rank sum test. Results:(1) Grouping situations of the enrolled patients. A total of 218 patients were selected for eligibility. There were 42 males and 176 females, aged (32±9)years with body mass index (BMI) as (39±7)kg/m 2. Of the 218 patients, there were 109 patients in the experiment group and 109 patients in the control group. Gender(male, female), age, BMI, preoperative albumin (Alb), preoperative hemoglobin (Hb) were 17, 92, (33±9)years, (39±7)kg/m 2, (40.6±4.8)g/L, (141.7±13.9)g/L in the experiment group, versus 25, 84, (31±8)years, (39±8)kg/m 2, (40.9±4.2)g/L, (142.9±9.7)g/L in the control group, showing no signifi-cant difference in the above indicators between the two groups ( χ2=1.89, t=?1.52, 0.51, 0.40, 0.71, P>0.05). (2) Postoperative situations and follow-up.
