Abstract

Nutritional status of colorectal cancer (CC) patients affects treatment effectiveness, quality of life and patient survival time. Research objective: To determine the prevalence and some factors related to malnutrition of CC patients. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study on 103 colorectal cancer patients before surgery at the general surgery department of Thanh Nhan hospital and the general surgery department of Vinmec Times City hospital from September 2020 to May 2021. Results: The proportion of patients at risk of malnutrition or malnutrition before surgery assessed according to the PG-SGA scale was 85.44%, of which severe malnutrition accounted for 60.19% and and the BMI scale accounted for 19.42%. The factors of advanced age, female gender, lower education level than lower secondary school and stage III, IV cancer had a negative influence on the patient's nutrition (p < 0.05). Meanwhile, factors such as cancer location, treatment method, eating route and hospital treatment had no statistically significant relationship with the rate of malnutrition of patients (p>0.05). Conclusion: The study showed that preoperative colorectal cancer patients had a high rate of malnutrition. Therefore, medical staff should pay attention to screening the patient's malnutrition status in order to offer timely interventions and support.
