Zeng H, Cai A, Zhao W, Wu J, Ding Y, Zeng X. Factors and predictive model for malnutrition in poststroke disabled patients: A multicenter cross-sectional study. Nutrition 2024; 123:112423. [PMID: 38583267 DOI: 10.1016/j.nut.2024.112423] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2023] [Revised: 02/10/2024] [Accepted: 03/07/2024] [Indexed: 04/09/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although malnutrition has been shown to influence the clinical outcome of poststroke disabled patients, the associated factors and the prediction model have yet to be uncovered. OBJECTIVES This study aims to assess the current prevalence and factors associated with malnutrition in poststroke disabled patients and establish a prediction model. METHODS A multicenter cross-sectional survey among Chinese poststroke disabled patients (≥18 y old) was conducted in 2021. Information on patients' basic data, medical history, Barthel Index, dysphagia, and nutritional status was collected. A multivariable logistic regression model was used to identify the factors that influence malnutrition. Nomogram was developed and internal validation was conducted using 5-fold cross-validation. External validation was performed using the data from a preliminary survey. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA) were used to analyze the predictive value of the nomogram. RESULTS Four hundred fifty-seven cases were enrolled, with the prevalence of malnutrition as 71.77%. Age (aOR = 1.039, 95% CI: 1.006-1.078), pulmonary infection (aOR = 4.301, 95% CI: 2.268-14.464), dysphagia (aOR = 24.605, 95% CI: 4.966-191.058), total intake volume (aOR = 0.997, 95% CI: 0.995-0.999), Barthel Index (aOR = 0.965, 95% CI: 0.951-0.980), and nasogastric tube (aOR = 16.529, 95% CI: 7.418-52.518) as nutrition support mode (compared to oral intake) were identified as the associated factors of malnutrition in stroke-disabled patients (P < 0.05). ROC analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) for nomogram was 0.854 (95% CI: 0.816-0.892). Fivefold cross-validation showed the mean AUC as 0.829 (95% CI: 0.784-0.873). There were no significant differences between predicted and actual probabilities. The DCA revealed that the model exhibited a net benefit when the risk threshold was between 0 and 0.4. CONCLUSIONS Age, pulmonary infection, dysphagia, nutrition support mode, total intake volume, and Barthel Index were factors associated with malnutrition in stroke-related disabled patients. The nomogram based on the result exhibited good accuracy, consistency and values.

JPEN J Parenter Enteral Nutr 2024. [PMID: 38806291 DOI: 10.1002/jpen.2645] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2023] [Revised: 05/06/2024] [Accepted: 05/06/2024] [Indexed: 05/30/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study compared the one-time success rate of blind and endoscopy-guided postpyloric feeding tube placement after implementing a comprehensive nursing scheme of intestinal blind placement for patients with ischemic stroke. METHODS This retrospective cohort study included 179 patients with blind bedside placement and 118 with endoscopy-guided placement. The primary outcome was the one-time success rate of radiologically confirmed postpyloric placement. The secondary endpoints included the position of the tube tip, length of insertion, time of placement, and expenses. The safety endpoints were the incidence of complications caused by placement. RESULTS The results showed that the method of tube placement did not significantly affect the outcome of the first tube placement (odds ratio [OR] = 0.41; 95% CI = 0.137-1.207; P = 0.105). Compared with endoscopy-guided placement, blind placement was half the cost. We also found that a history of abdominal surgery (OR = 0.003; 95% CI = 0.000-0.059; P < 0.001) and longer intensive care unit (ICU) days (OR = 0.94; 95% CI = 0.903-0.981; P = 0.004) were inversely associated with the one-time success rate. CONCLUSION Our study suggested that blind intestinal feeding tube placement has an equivalent one-time success rate compared with endoscopy-guided placement in hospitalized patients with ischemic stroke if operators can be trained well. However, the expenses of endoscopy-guided placement were twice those of blind bedside methods. We also found that patients with abdominal surgery history and longer ICU stay were more likely to fail at the first placement. Further research is needed to replicate our single-center observations in a larger population of patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study focuses on exploring the efficacy observation, complications and nursing aspects of using enteral nutrition suspension in patients with acute ischemic stroke. METHODS This study retrospectively analyzed clinical data from 188 patients with acute ischemic stroke treated in the Neurology Department of our hospital from October 2022 to September 2023. Patients who received intermittent enteral nutrition and nursing interventions were included in the control group (n=96), while patients who received continuous enteral nutrition and nursing interventions were included in the treatment group (n=92). Relevant indicators data changes before and after treatment were recorded for each patient, along with the occurrence of complications in both groups, and statistical analysis was conducted. RESULTS The treatment group had fewer days in the ICU and total hospitalization days compared to the control group, with p < .05. Patients in the treatment group had higher levels of serum albumin and serum prealbumin than those in the control group, with p < .05. The occurrence of abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, bloating and acid reflux in the treatment group was lower than in the control group, with p < .05. There was no significant difference in the occurrence of adverse outcomes at discharge, death at discharge, cerebral hemorrhage, lung infection and gastrointestinal bleeding between the two groups (p > .05). CONCLUSION The application of enteral nutrition suspension in patients with acute ischemic stroke effectively provides the necessary nutrients, maintains nutritional balance, promotes tissue repair and recovery and reduces the length of hospital stay.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the impacts of evidence-based nursing (EBN) combined with enteral nutrition (EN) on nutritional status as well as quality of life in acute cerebral infarction (ACI) patients. METHODS In this randomized controlled cluster trial, 80 ACI patients admitted to our hospital from January 2021 to December 2022 were selected and randomly separated into study group (SG) and control group (CG), with 40 patients in each group. Patients in CG received routine nursing, and patients in the SG received EBN combined with EN. The neurological function, limb movement ability, nutritional status, anxiety and depression, incidence of complications and quality of life between two groups were compared. RESULTS After intervention, the NIHSS score in the SG was lower than that in the CG (CG = 5.62 ± 0.56, SG = 3.27 ± 0.33. p < .001). The FMA score in the SG was higher compared with the CG (CG = 52.58 ± 5.32, SG = 68.85 ± 6.87. p < .001). The Hb level, TP level and ALB level in the SG were higher relative to the CG (p < .001). The Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) scores in the SG were lower in comparison with the CG (SAS score: CG = 42.32 ± 4.25, SG = 36.28 ± 3.64; SDS score: CG = 48.27 ± 4.85, SG = 40.06 ± 4.05. p < .001). The incidence of complications in SG was lower than that in CG. Finally, we found that SF-36 scores in the SG in all dimensions were higher than those in the CG (Physiological function: CG = 70.23 ± 7.05, SG = 82.71 ± 8.26. Role function: CG = 66.28 ± 6.64, SG73.39 ± 7.36. Physical pain: CG = 70.67 ± 7.06, SG = 82.69 ± 8.29. General health: CG = 58.74 ± 5.86, SG66.62 ± 6.65. Mental health: CG = 53.68 ± 5.37, SG = 62.39 ± 6.31. Energy: CG = 60.75 ± 6.08, SG = 67.87 ± 6.78. Social function: CG = 76.25 ± 7.25, SG = 85.78 ± 8.59. Emotional function: CG = 61.23 ± 6.15, SG = 75.74 ± 7.56. p < .001). CONCLUSION EBN combined with EN can improve the nutritional status and the quality of life in ACI patients compared with the traditional routine nursing, and is suggested as a valuable strategy for clinical management of ACI.

Changes of gut microbiota under different nutritional methods in elderly patients with severe COVID-19 and their relationship with prognosis. Front Immunol 2023; 14:1260112. [PMID: 37781374 PMCID: PMC10533997 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2023.1260112] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2023] [Accepted: 08/30/2023] [Indexed: 10/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The clinical progression of individuals afflicted with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection exhibits significant heterogeneity, particularly affecting the elderly population to a greater extent. Consequently, the association between nutrition and microbiota has garnered considerable interest. Hence, the objective of this study was to gather clinical data pertaining to the influence of diverse nutritional support interventions on the prognosis of geriatric patients with COVID-19, while additionally examining the fecal microbiota of these individuals to assess the repercussions of microecological alterations on their prognostic outcomes. Results A total of 71 elderly patients diagnosed with severe COVID-19 were included in this study. These patients were subsequently divided into two groups, namely the enteral nutrition (EN) group and the parenteral nutrition (PN) group, based on the type of nutritional support therapy they received after admission. The occurrence of complications was observed in 10.4% of patients in the EN group, whereas it was significantly higher at 69.6% in the PN group (P<0.001). Furthermore, the 60-day mortality rate was 2.1% (1/48) in the EN group, while it was notably higher at 30.4% (7/23) in the PN group (P=0.001). To identify the independent predictors of 60-day mortality, stepwise logistic regression analysis was employed. Among different bacterial groups, Enterococcus_faecium (18.19%) and Pseudomonas_aeruginosa (1.91%) had higher average relative abundance in the PN group (P<0.05). However, the relative abundance of Ruminococcus was higher in the EN group. Further Spearman correlation analysis showed that Enterococcus_faecium was positively correlated with poor clinical prognosis, while Ruminococcus was negatively correlated with poor clinical prognosis. Conclusions This study shows that the changes in the composition of intestinal flora in elderly COVID-19 patients receiving different nutritional support strategies may be related to different clinical outcomes. The abundance of Enterococcus_faecium in elderly COVID-19 patients receiving PN is significantly increased and is closely related to poor clinical outcomes. It highlights the potential of microbiome-centric interventions to mitigate and manage COVID-19 in older adults with different nutritional support options.

Abstract
Recent burgeoning literature unveils the importance of gut microbiota in the neuropathology of post-stroke brain injury and recovery. Indeed, ingestion of prebiotics/probiotics imparts positive effects on post-stroke brain injury, neuroinflammation, gut dysbiosis, and intestinal integrity. However, information on the disease-specific preference of selective prebiotics/probiotics/synbiotics and their underlying mechanism is yet elusive. Herein, we examined the effect of a new synbiotic formulation containing multistrain probiotics (Lactobacillus reuteri UBLRu-87, Lactobacillus plantarum UBLP-40, Lactobacillus rhamnosus UBLR-58, Lactobacillus salivarius UBLS-22, and Bifidobacterium breve UBBr-01), and prebiotic fructooligosaccharides using a middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model of cerebral ischemia in female and male rats. Three weeks pre-MCAO administration of synbiotic rescinded the MCAO-induced sensorimotor and motor deficits on day 3 post-stroke in rotarod, foot-fault, adhesive removal, and paw whisker test. We also observed a decrease in infarct volume and neuronal death in the ipsilateral hemisphere of synbiotic-treated MCAO rats. The synbiotic treatment also reversed the elevated levels/mRNA expression of the glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), NeuN, IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-6, matrix metalloproteinase-9, and caspase-3 and decreased levels of occludin and zonula occludens-1 in MCAO rats. 16S rRNA gene-sequencing data of intestinal contents indicated an increase in genus/species of Prevotella (Prevotella copri), Lactobacillus (Lactobacillus reuteri), Roseburia, Allobaculum, and Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, and decreased abundance of Helicobacter, Desulfovibrio, and Akkermansia (Akkermansia muciniphila) in synbiotic-treated rats compared to the MCAO surgery group. These findings confer the potential benefits of our novel synbiotic preparation for MCAO-induced neurological dysfunctions by reshaping the gut-brain-axis mediators in rats.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Dysphagia is one of the most common complications of acute ischemic stroke, and prediction of dysphagia is crucial for post-stroke treatment. We aimed to identify predictors of dysphagia and swallowing function recovery following ischemic stroke and to investigate dysphagia-associated lesion location. METHODS We prospectively enrolled patients with acute ischemic stroke confirmed on diffusion-weighted imaging. All patients received swallowing evaluation within 48 h after admission. Follow-up oral intake ability was measured on 7 and 30 days after stroke onset. Voxel-based lesion-symptom mapping was performed to determine locations associated with dysphagia. RESULTS Of 126 patients included in the final analysis, 23 patients (18.3%) were classified as initial dysphagia. The presence of facial palsy (P = 0.008) and larger white matter hyperintensity (WMH) volume (P = 0.003) was associated with initial dysphagia. Initial risk of aspiration assessed by Any2 score (P = 0.001) at baseline was identified as independent predictor for dysphagia at day 7. Patients with higher Any2 score (P < 0.001), aphasia (P = 0.013), and larger WMH volume (P = 0.010) were less likely to have a full swallowing function recovery at 1 month. Acute infarcts in right corona radiata and right superior longitudinal fasciculus were correlated with impaired recovery of swallowing ability at 1 month. CONCLUSIONS Initial risk of aspiration was identified as risk factor for short-term and long-term dysphagia. Aphasia and larger WMH volume were revealed to be significant predictors for swallowing function recovery at 1 month. Right corona radiata was identified as an essential brain area for dysphagia.

Abstract
Introduction Post-stroke depression (PSD) is the most common emotional problem following a stroke, which requires early diagnosis to improve the prognosis. Gut microbiota plays important role in the pathological mechanisms of acute ischemic stroke and influences the outcome of patients. However, the relationship between PSD and gut microbiota remains unknown. Here, we explored whether the microbial signatures of gut microbiota in the patients with stroke could be an appropriate predictor of PSD. Methods Fecal samples were collected from 232 acute ischemic stroke patients and determined by 16s rRNA sequencing. All patients then received 17-Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD-17) assessment 3 months after discharge, and were further divided into PSD group and non-PSD group. We analyzed the differences of gut microbiota between these groups. To identify gut microbial biomarkers, we then established microbial biomarker model. Results Our results showed that the composition of gut microbiota in the PSD patients differed significantly from that in non-PSD patients. The genus Streptococcus, Akkermansia, and Barnesiella were significantly increased in PSD patients compared to non-PSD, while the genus Escherichia-Shigella, Butyricicoccus, and Holdemanella were significantly decreased. Correlation analyses displayed that Akkermansia, Barnesiella, and Pyramidobacter were positively correlated with HAMD score, while Holdemanella was negatively correlated with HAMD score. The optimal microbial markers were determined, and the combination achieved an area under the curve (AUC) value of 0.705 to distinguish PSD from non-PSD. Conclusions Our findings suggest that PSD patients had distinct gut microbiota compared to non-PSD patients, and explore the potential of microbial markers, which might provide clinical decision-making in PSD.
