Abstract
Background: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) commonly affect older adults (aged ≥60). Treatments are often intensive, with side effects impacting patients' eating abilities and, consequently, nutritional status, which can influence treatment outcomes.
Objective: For older adults with AML/MDS: 1.What research has been conducted to describe their nutrition experiences? 2.What research has been conducted regarding the effects of nutrition experiences on physical health, psychosocial health, and quality of life (QOL)?
Methods: A scoping review was conducted using PRISMA-ScR guidelines to search on April 30, 2024 in PubMed, CINAHL, and Scopus. Criteria included English language, peer-reviewed, empirical studies with unique findings regarding nutrition for older adults (aged ≥60) with AML/MDS. Studies focusing on risk of future cancers and drug trials were excluded.
Results: Forty-two studies published from 1992-2024 met the inclusion criteria. Twenty-four articles focused on patients with AML, 16 on patients with MDS, and two reported both. Most quantitative studies were retrospective (n=20), and only five assessed nutrition over time. Nutrition experiences included: malnutrition, weight loss, sarcopenia, impaired renal function, diabetes, vitamin deficiencies, mucositis, dysphagia, decreased appetite or intake, altered taste, and gastrointestinal symptoms (e.g., nausea, diarrhea). Studies described the effects on health and QOL, including significant relationships with functional status, clinical complications, comorbidities, and mortality.
Conclusions: Patients with AML and MDS may face varied experiences with nutrition, especially related to malnutrition. Challenges may be associated with declines in physical health and QOL. Importantly, no studies in this review reported effects on psychosocial outcomes, and few reported race/ethnicity, which are recommended to measure in future studies to understand potential challenges and outcomes. The findings of this review may inform further research on nutritional health and intervention development, and effects on QOL.
