Nutritional aspects in autoimmune diseases undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: overview and recommendations on behalf of the EBMT ADWP and Nurses Group. Front Nutr 2024; 11:1394518. [PMID: 38784130 PMCID: PMC11111942 DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2024.1394518] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2024] [Accepted: 04/29/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Autoimmune diseases (ADs) represent a heterogeneous group of conditions affecting 5-10% of the global population. In recent decades, hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT), mainly autologous, has been successfully adopted to treat patients affected by severe/refractory ADs. In this context malnutrition has a detrimental impact on relapse, mortality, infection rate, engraftment, long-term survival, and prolongation of hospitalization. However, in this population, the management of nutrition should be improved since nutritional assessment is partially performed in routine clinical practice. A panel of nurses and physicians from the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) reviewed all available evidence based on current literature and expert practices from centers with extensive experience in HSCT for ADs, on the nutritional management of ADs patients during HSCT procedure. In this context, adequate nutritional status predicts a better response to treatment and improves quality of life. Herein, a systematic and comprehensive monitoring of nutritional status before, during and after HSCT, with adequate nutritional support in the case of ADs patients, in addition to assessing the dietary requirements associated with HSCT has been covered. Moreover, given the singularity of each AD, the underlying disease should be considered for an appropriate approach. The management and evaluation of nutritional status must be carried out by a multidisciplinary team to assess the needs, monitor the effectiveness of each intervention, and prevent complications, especially in complex situations as patients affected by ADs.

Abstract
This study aimed to examine the effects of an animated Patient Decision Aid (PtDA) about dietary choices on decisional conflict and decision regret. A prospective, observational, two-group comparative effectiveness study was conducted with patients (n = 90) from a southern Taiwan oncology inpatient unit. Data included the Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST), laboratory results, 16-item Decisional Conflict Scale (sf-DCS), and 5-item Decision Regret Scale (DRSc). Data were collected at admission (T0), after the first-cycle of chemotherapy but before discharge (T1), and after the six-cycle chemotherapy protocol (T2) (around 3 months). Group A received standardized nutrition education and a printed brochure, while Group B watched a 10-minute information video during a one-on-one inpatient consultation and engaged in a values clarification exercise between T0 and T1. The percentage of women with a MUST score ≧1 in Group A sharply increased over time, but not in Group B. Decision aid usage significantly increased patients' hemoglobin and lymphocyte values over time (p < 0.05). The digital PtDA contributed to less decisional conflict and decision regret in at-risk patients and improved their nutritional well-being. Decision-aids help patients make healthcare decisions in line with their values, and are sustainable for use by busy clinicians.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early assessment of malnutrition in cancer patients is essential. This study analyzed the accuracy of the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) and the Subjective Global Assessment (SGA), in diagnosing malnutrition, considering the Patient Generated-SGA (PG-SGA) as a reference, and the impact of malnutrition on hospital days. METHODS We conducted a prospective cohort study in 183 patients with gastrointestinal, head and neck, and lung cancer. Malnutrition was assessed within 48 h, of hospital admission according to the SGA, PG-SGA, and GLIM. Accuracy tests and regression analysis were performed to assess the criterion validity of the GLIM and SGA for diagnosing malnutrition. RESULTS Malnutrition was diagnosed in 57.3% (SGA), 86.3% (PG-SGA), and 74.9% (GLIM) of the inpatients. The median of hospitalization was 6 (3-11) days, with 47% hospitalized > 6 day. The SGA presented the best accuracy (AUC = 0.832) than the GLIM (AUC = 0.632) compared to PG-SGA. Patients diagnosed with malnutrition by SGA, GLIM, and PG-SGA remained hospitalized for 2.13, 3.19, and 4.56 day more than well-nourished patients, respectively. CONCLUSION Compared to PG-SGA, the SGA presents good accuracy and adequate specificity (>80%). Malnutrition evaluated by SGA, PG-SGA, and GLIM was associated with more days of hospitalization.

Nutritional status assessed by Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment is associated with toxicity to chemoradiotherapy in women with cervical cancer: a prospective study. Eur J Clin Nutr 2022; 76:1740-1747. [PMID: 35854132 DOI: 10.1038/s41430-022-01180-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2021] [Revised: 06/22/2022] [Accepted: 06/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/08/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patient-generated subjective global assessment (PG-SGA), a validated tool for nutritional assessment, has been associated with worse clinical outcomes in patients with cancer. However, studies assessing its relationship in chemoradiotherapy outcomes are scarce. The study aimed to determine the prevalence of malnutrition according to PG-SGA and its association with the incidence of toxicity to chemoradiotherapy treatment in women with cervical cancer. METHODS In a single-centre prospective observational study, we enrolled 391 women with locally advanced cervical cancer. Patients were assessed on the day of their first chemotherapy infusion, when nutritional status was evaluated by the PG-SGA form and anthropometric measurements. Sociodemographic and clinical data were also collected. Toxicity to chemoradiotherapy was assessed weekly and toxicity-induced modification of treatment (TIMT) was defined as any serious adverse event that resulted in treatment delay, interruption, or dose reduction. Multivariate mixed-effects Poisson and Logistic regression models were performed to identify the factors contributing to the outcome number of adverse events ≥ grade 3 and TIMT, respectively. RESULTS Malnutrition was found in 47.6% of the population. Roughly 1/3 had TIMT and 54.2% experienced at least one symptom ≥grade 3. In the adjusted models, PG-SGA B and C, as well as the score ≥9 were independent predictors of the number of toxicity events ≥grade 3 and higher incidence of TIMT. CONCLUSIONS PG-SGA may represent an important assessment tool to predict toxicity outcomes in women with cervical cancer, besides being considered a simple, fast, and low-cost tool, which allows early nutritional care.

Machine Learning-Based Prediction of In-Hospital Complications in Elderly Patients Using GLIM-, SGA-, and ESPEN 2015-Diagnosed Malnutrition as a Factor. Nutrients 2022; 14:nu14153035. [PMID: 35893889 PMCID: PMC9331502 DOI: 10.3390/nu14153035] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2022] [Revised: 07/21/2022] [Accepted: 07/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Malnutrition is prevalent in elderly inpatients and is associated with various adverse outcomes during their hospital stay, but the diagnosis of malnutrition still lacks widely applicable criteria. This study aimed to investigate the association of malnutrition diagnosed with the SGA, ESPEN 2015, and GLIM criteria, respectively, with in-hospital complications in elderly patients. Method: Hospitalized patients over 65 years old who had been assessed with the SGA guideline for malnutrition at admission were retrospectively recruited from a large observational cohort study conducted in 34 level-A tertiary hospitals in 18 cities in China from June to September 2014. Malnutrition was then retrospectively diagnosed using the GLIM and ESPEN 2015 criteria, respectively, for comparison with the results of the SGA scale. The risk factors for malnutrition were analyzed using logistic regression, and the value of the three diagnostic criteria in predicting the in-hospital complications was subsequently explored using multivariate regression and the random forest machine learning algorithm. Results: A total of 2526 subjects who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria of the study were selected from the 7122 patients in the dataset, with an average age of 74.63 ± 7.12 years, 59.2% male, and 94.2% married. According to the GLIM, SGA, and ESPEN 2015 criteria, the detection rates of malnutrition were 37.8% (956 subjects), 32.8% (829 subjects), and 17.0% (429 subjects), respectively. The diagnostic consistency between the GLIM and the SGA criteria is better than that between the ESPEN 2015 and the SGA criteria (Kappa statistics, 0.890 vs. 0.590). Logistic regression showed that the risk of developing complications in the GLIM-defined malnutrition patients is 2.414 times higher than that of normal patients, higher than those of the ESPEN 2015 and SGA criteria (1.786 and 1.745 times, respectively). The random forest classifications show that the GLIM criteria have a higher ability to predict complications in these elderly patients than the SGA and ESPEN 2015 criteria with a mean decrease in accuracy of 12.929, 10.251, and 5.819, respectively, and a mean decrease in Gini of 2.055, 1.817, and 1.614, respectively. Conclusion: The prevalence of malnutrition diagnosed with the GLIM criteria is higher than that of the SGA and the ESPEN 2015 criteria. The GLIM criteria are better than the SGA and the ESPEN 2015 criteria for predicting in-hospital complications in elderly patients.

Abstract
Malnutrition is a serious problem with a negative impact on the quality of life and the evolution of patients, contributing to an increase in morbidity, length of hospital stay, mortality, and health spending. Early identification is fundamental to implement the necessary therapeutic actions, involving adequate nutritional support to prevent or reverse malnutrition. This review presents two complementary methods of fighting malnutrition: nutritional screening and nutritional assessment. Nutritional risk screening is conducted using simple, quick-to-perform tools, and is the first line of action in detecting at-risk patients. It should be implemented systematically and periodically on admission to hospital or residential care, as well as on an outpatient basis for patients with chronic conditions. Once patients with a nutritional risk are detected, they should undergo a more detailed nutritional assessment to identify and quantify the type and degree of malnutrition. This should include health history and clinical examination, dietary history, anthropometric measurements, evaluation of the degree of aggression determined by the disease, functional assessment, and, whenever possible, some method of measuring body composition.

Nutrients 2021; 13:nu13124397. [PMID: 34959948 PMCID: PMC8706251 DOI: 10.3390/nu13124397] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2021] [Accepted: 12/06/2021] [Indexed: 01/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Cancer and its therapy is commonly associated with a variety of side effects that impact eating behaviors that reduce nutritional intake. This review will outline potential causes of chemotherapy and radiation damage as well as approaches for the amelioration of the side effects of cancer during therapy. Methods: Information for clinicians, patients, and their caregivers about toxicity mitigation including nausea reduction, damage to epithelial structures such as skin and mucosa, organ toxicity, and education is reviewed. Results: How to anticipate, reduce, and prevent some toxicities encountered during chemotherapy and radiation is detailed with the goal to improve eating behaviors. Strategies for health care professionals, caregivers, and patients to consider include (a) the reduction in nausea and vomiting, (b) decreasing damage to the mucosa, (c) avoiding a catabolic state and muscle wasting (sarcopenia), and (d) developing therapeutic alliances with patients, caregivers, and oncologists. Conclusions: Although the reduction of side effects involves anticipatory guidance and proactive team effort (e.g., forward observation, electronic interactions, patient reported outcomes), toxicity reduction can be satisfying for not only the patient, but everyone involved in cancer care.
