Abstract:
Objective:To systematically appraise and summarize existing evidence on enteral nutrition in patients receiving radiotherapy for head and neck cancer.Methods:Based on the 6S Pyramid of Evidence-based Resources, a systematic search was conducted to identify guidelines, expert consensuses, and evidence summaries related to enteral nutrition for radiotherapy patients with head and neck cancer published from January 2018 to September 2023. The search covered relevant websites of guidelines, websites of academic societies, and databases (in Chinese and English). Literature screening, quality assessment, and data extraction were performed independently by the researchers.Results:A total of 19 studies were included, consisting of 10 guidelines, 7 expert consensuses, and 2 evidence summaries. Four aspects and 67 items of best evidence on organizational management, nutritional screening and assessment, enteral nutritional intervention programs, and monitoring and follow-up were summarized.Conclusion:This study summarized the best evidence for enteral nutrition in patients receiving radiotherapy for head and neck cancer, which can inform the standardized nutritional management and promote the translation of evidence-based knowledge into practice.
