PREOPERATIVE MALNUTRITION RATE IN STOMACH CANCER PATIENTS AT UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CENTER HCMC 2022
Main Article Content
Abstract
Preoperative malnutrition directly affects the indications for treatment and the recovery of stomach cancer patients. Therefore, patients need to be monitored and evaluated early on their nutritional status to improve treatment effectiveness. Objective: determine the preoperative malnutrition rate in stomach cancer patients according to PG-SGA at university medicine center hcmc in 2022. Subjects and methods: a cross-sectional study on 92 stomach cancer patients hospitalized within 48 hours with the indication for surgery. Results: preoperative malnutrition rate in stomach cancer patients according to pg-sga and bmi was 68.5% and 19.6%, respectively. There was a statistically significant relationship between nutritional status according to PG-SGA with education level, disease stage, serum albumin, hemoglobin, and number of lymphocytes/mm3. Conclusion: the prevalence of preoperative malnutrition according to PG-SGA in stomach cancer patients is quite high. It is necessary to conduct screening and assessment of nutritional status for patients with stomach cancer, to combine surgeons and dieticians to contribute to better nutritional interventions and increase treatment effectiveness.
