Perioperatif total parenteral nutrisyonun postoperatif morbidite ve mortalite üzerine etkileri

It is known that postoperative complication ratios at severely malnourished patients were higher than nonseverely malnourished patients according to the data in literature reviews. The goal of this prospective study is to investigate the effects of per ioperative nutritional support on postoperative morbidity and mortality in severely malnourished gastrointestinal tract cancer patients. Seventyone patients with the diagnosis of gastrointestinal tract cancer were included in this study. Subjective Global Assessment index was applied for patients' nutritional state. The patients were divided into two groups, severely malnourished (Group 1) and nonseverely malnourished (Group 2: well-nourished and mildly malnourished). The daily energy requirement of 36 patients in Group 1 was calculated and total parenteral nutrition was applied 30-35 kcal/kg/day by average for preoperative 7 days and postoperative 3 days to these 36 patients. Perioperative total parenteral nutrition was not given to 35 patients in Group 2. Patient morbidity and mortality was followed during the hospitalization period. Total morbidity was defined as; major complications, minor complications and complications related to total parenteral nutrition. Major complications occurred in 7 patients (19.41%) in Group 1 and 6 patients (17.11%) in Group 2 (p=0.80). Total morbidity was in 16 patients (44.40%) in Group 1, and 17 patients (48.57%) in Group 2 (p=0.727). Mortality was seen as one patients in each group postoperatively. In this study, it was concluded that morbidity and mortality ratio of severely malnourished patients can be decreased to the morbidity and mortality ratio of nonseverely malnourished patients with perioperative nutrition.
