Abstract
Objective
To investigate the effect of nutrition intake method with adaptive viscosity on nutritional status of laryngeal cancer patients with dysphagia after surgery and radiotherapy (RT).
Methods
77 laryngeal carcinoma patients with dysphagia after surgery and radiotherapy were divided randomly into two groups by a random number table as study group (SG, n=39) and control group (CG, n=38). The CG received routine diet instruction and swallowing training, while the SG received oral nutritional supplementation with adaptive viscosity in additon. The body weight, body mass index (BMI), hemoglobin, albumin, prealbumin and scores of nutritional status at the end and 3 months after RT were compared between the two groups.
Results
There were 34 patients (87.2%) and 32 patients (84.2%) with nutritional status scores more than or equal to 2 at the end of RT in the two groups. At 3 months after RT, the body weight, BMI, hemoglobin, albumin, prealbumin, daily intake and nutritional status scores in the study group were significantly higher than those at the end of RT and those in the control group [(61.28±11.16) vs. (51.82±7.36), (56.44±10.69)kg; (20.57±6.13) vs. (18.81±4.43), (19.47±5.36)kg/m2; (134.87±17.86) vs. (114.68±15.25), (123.58±19.34)g/L; (40.74±7.54) vs. (36.77±5.27), (37.94±8.47)g/L; (312.83±35.83) vs. (271.56±32.82), (290.73±41.38)g/L; (2 047±126) vs. (1 512±143), (1 589±138)kcal; (2.36±0.93) vs. (3.70±1.80), (3.14±1.26); P all<0.05]. The level of the body weight and hemoglobin in the control group at 3 months after RT were significantly higher than those at end of RT [(56.44±10.69) vs. (51.56±8.34)kg, P=0.025; (123.58±19.34) vs. (113.36±16.56)g/L, P=0.023]. During 3 months, the rate of pulmonary infection was 1 (2.5%) in the study group and 6 (15.8%) in the control group and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=4.073, P=0.044).
Conclusion
Nutrition intake method with adaptive viscosity can effectively improve the nutritional status of laryngeal cancer patients with dysphagia after surgery and radiotherapy and reduce the infection rate of lung.

期刊介绍:
The Chinese Journal of Clinical Nutrition was founded in 1993. It is the first professional academic journal (bimonthly) in my country co-sponsored by the Chinese Medical Association and the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences to disseminate information on clinical nutrition support, nutrient metabolism, the impact of nutrition support on outcomes and "cost-effectiveness", as well as translational medicine and nutrition research. It is also a professional journal of the Chinese Medical Association's Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition Branch.
The purpose of the Chinese Journal of Clinical Nutrition is to promote the rapid dissemination of knowledge on nutrient metabolism and the rational application of parenteral and enteral nutrition, focusing on the combination of multidisciplinary and multi-regional field investigations and clinical research. It mainly reports on nutritional risk screening related to the indications of parenteral and enteral nutrition support, "cost-effectiveness" research on nutritional drugs, consensus on clinical nutrition, guidelines, expert reviews, randomized controlled studies, cohort studies, glycoprotein and other nutrient metabolism research, systematic evaluation of clinical research, evidence-based case reports, special reviews, case reports and clinical experience exchanges, etc., and has a special column on new technologies related to the field of clinical nutrition and their clinical applications.
