Main Article Content
Abstract
Aims: To describe nutritional status and dietary pattern of patients before stomach surgery at the Thai Binh Provincial General Hospital from June 2019 to March 2020.
Methods: A scross-sectional study was conducted on 67 patients aged over 18 years who were indicated for open gastrectomy. Nutritional status was evaluated using the Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) and Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA).
Results: A rate of chronic energy deficiency was 25.4% in the admitted patients and increased to 59.7% when they were discharged. There were 80.6% of patients with mild and moderate malnutrition assessed by SGA. About 71% of the patients were at risk of malnutrition and 25.8% of malnutrition assessed by MNA. There were 19.4% of the patients with low serum albumin level (< 35 g/L). The rate of weight loss in the last 6 months was 52.2%; The average dietary energy was 1433.6 kcal; The percentage of subjects meeting the requirement for energy-generating substances was 7.5, 76.1, and 53.7%, respectively, for glucide, lipid, and protein.
Conclusion: The very high rate of malnutrition was found in the patients before stomach surgery. It is necessary to evaluate the nutritional status of the patients and give them an appropriate nutrition during hospitalization.
