Abstract
ABSTRACT Decades of research have provided insight into the benefits of nutritional optimization in the elective surgical patient. Patients who are nutritionally prepared for surgery enjoy reduced length of hospital and intensive care unit stays and suffer fewer complications. In the trauma and emergency general surgery patient populations, we are not afforded the preoperative period of optimization and patients often suffer longer lengths of hospital stay, discharge to nonhome destinations, and higher infectious and mortality rates. Nonetheless, ongoing research in this vulnerable and time critical diagnosis population has revealed significant outcomes benefits with the meticulous nutritional support of these patients. However, it is important to note that optimal nutritional support in this challenging patient population is not simply a matter of "feeding more and feeding earlier." In this review, we will address assessing nutritional needs, the provision of optimal nutrition, the timing and route of nutrition, and monitoring outcomes and discuss the management of nutrition in the complex trauma and emergency general surgery patient. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Literature Synthesis and Expert Opinion; Level V.

Lack of clinical benefit from preoperative short-term parenteral nutrition on the clinical prognosis of patients treated with radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer: a two-center retrospective study based on propensity score matching analysis. J Gastrointest Oncol 2024; 15:96-111. [PMID: 38482215 PMCID: PMC10932686 DOI: 10.21037/jgo-23-1000] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2023] [Accepted: 02/15/2024] [Indexed: 07/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Preoperative nutritional support studies for patients undergoing gastrointestinal (GI) surgery mostly focused on enteral nutrition (EN) or long-term (≥7 days) parenteral nutrition (PN). Some studies also found that preoperative short-term PN could improve the postoperative short-term nutritional status of tumor patients. But whether short-term PN support (1-6 days) before surgery can improve the prognosis of patients undergoing surgery for gastric cancer (GC) remains unclear. Therefore, we focused on assessing the effect of preoperative short-term PN on the outcomes of patients undergoing radical surgery for GC. Methods A retrospective analysis of 1,155 patients who underwent radical gastrectomy for GC between July 2014 and February 2019 was conducted. According to whether patients received short-term (1-6 days) PN support before surgery, patients were divided into non-PN group and PN group. After 1:1 propensity score matching (PSM), two groups of patients with similar baseline clinical characteristics were obtained. The incidence of various complications and overall survival (OS) rate were compared between the two groups, and logistic regression analysis for complications, Cox regression analysis for OS, and subgroup analysis were performed. Results Each group had 478 patients after PSM, and the clinical characteristics were balanced. There were no significant differences in overall postoperative complications (pre-PSM: P=0.495; post-PSM: P>0.99), postoperative length of stay (LOS; pre-PSM: P=0.092; post-PSM: P=0.460), or readmission rate within 30 days (pre-PSM: P=0.496; post-PSM: P=0.793) between the two groups before and after PSM. The OS of PN group before matching was lower than that of non-PN group (P=0.023), but this difference was not significant after matching (P=0.950), but the PN group's hospitalization expenses were substantially greater than those of the control group (post-PSM: P<0.001). Preoperative short-term PN support was not an independent factor in the incidence of postoperative complications (P>0.99) and OS (P=0.949). Subgroup analyses failed to identify those patients who might benefit from preoperative short-term PN support. Conclusions Preoperative short-term PN support may have no significant benefit on short-term postoperative complications or the long-term OS of patients with GC but increase hospitalization costs. It thus should not be the first choice of treatment for these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Frail older adults require nursing care following hospitalization for acute illnesses. Frailty is reversible, and appropriate nutritional management and rehabilitation during hospitalization are essential. However, optimal nutritional management for patients who are unable to obtain adequate nutrition via oral intake has not been established. We aimed to determine whether peripheral parenteral nutrition (PPN) promotes the recovery of activities of daily living (ADLs) in frail older patients. METHODS This was a retrospective, observational cohort study conducted at the General Medicine Department of Aomori Prefectural Central Hospital in Aomori, Japan. The primary outcome was recovery of the Barthel index (BI) from the beginning of rehabilitation to discharge, and the secondary outcomes were the proportion of patients transferred for rehabilitation and the nutritional status. RESULTS In total, 342 patients hospitalized during the period of April 2018 to January 2022 were included, of whom 127 (37.1%) received PPN and 215 (62.9%) did not. Contrary to our expectations, recovery of the BI was lower in the PPN group than that in the non-PPN group (12.2 (95% confidence interval (CI): 8.5-16.0) vs. 22.4 (18.8-23.0); p < 0.01). Multivariable analysis revealed PPN as an independent risk factor for poor BI recovery (mean difference = -7.3 (95% CI = -12.7 to -1.9)). CONCLUSION Nutritional management through PPN for frail older adults may not improve physical activity. The nutritional management of frail patients with inadequate oral intake remains challenging.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Among adults with cancer, malnutrition is associated with decreased treatment completion, more treatment harms and use of health care, and worse short-term survival. To inform the National Institutes of Health Pathways to Prevention workshop, "Nutrition as Prevention for Improved Cancer Health Outcomes," this systematic review examined the evidence for the effectiveness of providing nutrition interventions before or during cancer therapy to improve outcomes of cancer treatment. METHODS We identified randomized controlled trials enrolling at least 50 participants published from 2000 through July 2022. We provide a detailed evidence map for included studies and grouped studies by broad intervention and cancer types. We conducted risk of bias (RoB) and qualitative descriptions of outcomes for intervention and cancer types with a larger volume of literature. RESULTS From 9798 unique references, 206 randomized controlled trials from 219 publications met the inclusion criteria. Studies primarily focused on nonvitamin or mineral dietary supplements, nutrition support, and route or timing of inpatient nutrition interventions for gastrointestinal or head and neck cancers. Most studies evaluated changes in body weight or composition, adverse events from cancer treatment, length of hospital stay, or quality of life. Few studies were conducted within the United States. Among intervention and cancer types with a high volume of literature (n = 114), 49% (n = 56) were assessed as high RoB. Higher-quality studies (low or medium RoB) reported mixed results on the effect of nutrition interventions across cancer and treatment-related outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Methodological limitations of nutrition intervention studies surrounding cancer treatment impair translation of findings into clinical practice or guidelines.

Perioperative nutritional assessment and interventions in patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC): A systematic review. EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF SURGICAL ONCOLOGY 2023; 49:902-917.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peritoneal carcinomatosis is a catabolic state and cytoreductive surgery (CRS) is a high morbidity operation. Optimising perioperative nutrition is crucial to improve outcomes. This systematic review sought to examine literature describing clinical outcomes related to preoperative nutrition status and nutrition interventions in patients undergoing CRS with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). METHODS A systematic review was registered with PROSPERO (300326). A search of eight electronic databases was undertaken on 8th May 2022 and reported according to the PRISMA statement. Studies reporting nutrition status through use of screening and assessment tools, nutrition interventions or nutrition-related clinical outcomes for patients undergoing CRS with HIPEC were included. RESULTS Of 276 screened studies, 25 studies were included for review. Commonly used nutrition assessment tools for CRS-HIPEC patients included Subjective Global Assessment (SGA), sarcopenia assessment with computed tomography, preoperative albumin, and body mass index (BMI). Three retrospective studies compared SGA with postoperative outcomes. Malnourished patients were more likely to have postoperative infectious complications (p = 0.042 SGA-B, p = 0.025 SGA-C). Malnutrition was significantly associated with increased hospital length of stay (LOS) in two studies (p = 0.006, p = 0.02), and with overall survival in another study (p = 0.006). Eight studies analysing preoperative albumin levels reported conflicting associations with postoperative outcomes. BMI in five studies was not associated with morbidity. One study did not support routine nasogastric tube (NGT) feeding. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative nutritional assessment tools, including SGA and objective sarcopaenia measures, have a role in predicting nutritional status for CRS-HIPEC patients. Optimisation of nutrition is important for preventing complications.

Abstract
Evidence on perioperative nutrition interventions in gastrointestinal surgery is rapidly evolving. We conducted a narrative review of various aspects of nutrition support, including formula choice and route of administration, as well as duration and timing of nutrition support therapy. Studies have demonstrated that nutrition support is associated with improved clinical outcomes in malnourished patients and those at nutrition risk, emphasizing the importance of nutrition assessment, for which several validated nutrition risk assessment tools exist. The assessment of serum albumin levels has fallen out of favor, as it is an unreliable marker of nutrition status, whereas imaging evidence of sarcopenia has prognostic value and may emerge as a standard component of nutrition assessment. Preoperatively, evidence supports limiting fasting to reduce insulin resistance and improve oral tolerance. Benefits to preoperative carbohydrate loading remain unclear, whereas literature suggests preoperative parenteral nutrition (PN) may reduce postoperative complications in high-risk patients with malnutrition or sarcopenia. Postoperatively, early oral feeding is safe with benefits in time to return of bowel function and reduced hospital stay. There is a signal for potential benefit to early postoperative PN in critically ill patients, though evidence is sparse. There has also been a recent emergence in randomized studies evaluating the use of ω-3 fatty acids, amino acids, and immunonutrition. Meta-analyses have reported favorable outcomes for these supplements, though individual studies are small and with significant methodological limitations and risk of bias, emphasizing the need for high-quality randomized studies to guide clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early nutritional treatment is crucial for the care of patients with operable and advanced gastrointestinal malignancies. Therefore, much research has focused on nutritional support for patients with gastrointestinal malignancies. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the global scientific output and activity with respect to nutritional support and gastrointestinal malignancy. METHODS We searched in Scopus for publications on gastrointestinal cancer and nutritional assistance published between January 2002 and December 2021. Then, using VOSviewer 1.6.18 and Microsoft Excel 2013, we conducted bibliometric analysis and visualization. RESULTS A total of 906 documents were published between 2002 and 2021, including 740 original articles (81.68%) and 107 reviews (11.81%). China ranked first (298 publications, 32.89%), Japan ranked second (86 publications, 9.49%) and the USA ranked third (84 publications, 9.27%). The organisation with the highest number of publications was the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences & Peking Union Medical College from China, with 14 articles, followed by the Peking Union Medical College Hospital from China and the Hospital Universitari Vall d'Hebron from Spain (13 publications for each). Before 2016, most studies focused on 'nutrition support for patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery'. However, the latest trends showed that 'nutrition support and clinical outcomes in gastrointestinal malignancies' and 'malnutrition in patients with gastrointestinal cancer' would be more widespread in the future. CONCLUSIONS This review is the first bibliometric study to provide a thorough and scientific analysis of gastrointestinal cancer and nutritional support trends worldwide over the last 20 years. This study can aid researchers in decision-making by helping them understand the frontiers and hotspots in nutrition support and gastrointestinal cancer research. Future institutional and international collaboration is expected to accelerate the advancement of gastrointestinal cancer and nutritional support research and investigate more efficient treatment methods.

Abstract
Parenteral nutrition (PN) is a life-saving intervention for patients where oral or enteral nutrition (EN) cannot be achieved or is not acceptable. The essential components of PN are carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, vitamins, trace elements, electrolytes and water. PN should be provided via a central line because of its hypertonicity. However, peripheral PN (with lower nutrient content and larger volume) can be administered via an appropriate non-central line. There are alternatives for the compounding process also, including hospital pharmacy compounded bags and commercial multichamber bags. PN is a costly therapy and has been associated with complications. Metabolic complications related to macro and micronutrient disturbances, such as hyperglycemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and electrolyte imbalance, may occur at any time during PN therapy, as well as infectious complications, mostly related to venous access. Long-term complications, such as hepatobiliary and bone disease are associated with longer PN therapy and home-PN. To prevent and mitigate potential complications, the optimal monitoring and early management of imbalances is required. PN should be prescribed for malnourished patients or high-risk patients with malnutrition where the feasibility of full EN is in question. Several factors should be considered when providing PN, including timing of initiation, clinical status, and risk of complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A poor body composition (BC) has been identified as a risk factor for patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). This study was performed to assess the effect of early peripheral parenteral nutrition (PPN) on BC in patients undergoing CCR surgery within an enhanced recovery program. METHODS Patients with normal nutritional status were prospectively included between October 2016 and September 2019, randomized into two groups (PPN with periOlimel N4-E versus conventional fluid therapy) and subsequently classified according to their preoperative CT scan into high- or low-risk BC groups. Postoperative complications and length of hospital stay (LOS) were assessed. RESULTS Of the 156 patients analyzed, 88 patients (56.4%) were classified as having high-risk BC according to CT measurements. PPN led to a 15.4% reduction in postoperative complications in high-risk vs. 1.7% in low-risk BC patients. In the multivariate analysis, high-risk BC was related to an OR (95% CI) of 2 (p = 0.044) of presenting complications and of 1.9 (p = 0.066) for major complications, and was associated with an increase in LOS of 3.6 days (p = 0.039). CONCLUSIONS The measurement of patients' BC can allow for the identification of target patients where PPN has been proven to be an effective tool to improve postoperative outcomes.
