Objective:
To explore the application of NRS2002 in preoperative nutritional screening of patients with liver cancer (LC).
Methods:
60 LC patients treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Gannan Medical University (January 2018-May 2021) were chosen as the research objects, and split into group J without nutritional risk and group Q with nutritional risk according to the results of NRS2002 to compare the preoperative situation, surgery-related indexes, hematological indexes, postoperative recovery, and incidence of complications between the two groups.
Results:
Group J (n = 28) and group Q (n = 32) showed no obvious difference in preoperative situation, and patients' liver function indexes were within the normal range. The duration of surgery in group J was notably shorter compared with group Q (P < 0.05). Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), direct bilirubin (DBIL), and albumin in group J were notably different from those of group Q (P < 0.001) at 1 day after surgery. ALT and AST in group J were notably different from those of group Q at 3 days after surgery (P < 0.001). No obvious differences were observed in the hematological indexes between the two groups at 5 days after surgery (P > 0.05). The total amount of albumin infusion, postoperative hospitalization time, and hospitalization cost in group J were notably lower compared with group Q (P < 0.001). The incidence of complications in group J was notably lower compared with group Q (P < 0.05).
Conclusion:
Postoperative recovery of LC patients is closely related to their preoperative nutritional status, and those with poor nutritional status have a high incidence of postoperative complications and long recovery time. NRS2002 can effectively screen the nutritional status of patients and provide reference for prognosis evaluation.
