CURRENT STATUS OF NUTRITIONAL CARE FOR PATIENTS WITH ACUTE PANCREATITIS AT HANOI MEDICAL UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the current status of care and nutrition for patients with acute pancreatitis at Hanoi Medical University Hospital. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 113 inpatients with AP from August 2024 to July 2025. Results: Male patients accounted for 78.8% of cases, with a mean age of 49.9±13.2 years. Hypertriglyceridaemia was the most common aetiology (54.9%). Malnutrition risk was identified in 15.9% of patients by the mNUTRIC score and in 8.9% by BMI. Nutritional support was initiated within 48 hours of admission in 83.2% of patients, including 41.6% who received it within the first 24 hours. Early resumption of enteral feeding (< 3 days) was associated with a significantly shorter hospital stay compared with delayed feeding (7.9 ± 3.2 days vs 12.7 ± 4.8 days; p<0.05). Actual caloric delivery during the first 10 days was below guideline‑recommended targets. Conclusions: Patients with acute pancreatitis are at a high risk of malnutrition. Early enteral nutrition shortens hospital length of stay. Total energy and protein delivery remains below recommended targets. Timely, appropriate nutritional screening and intervention are therefore essential.
