Postoperative complications

Malnutrition enhances the chance of postoperative
complications in patients with esophageal cancer.
Kelsen et al., 1998
Senesse et al., 2008
Garth et al., 2010
Mariette et al., 2012

Postoperative complications delay postoperative
recovery and impair quality of life.
Viklund et al., 2005

Nutritional support can improve postoperative
outcome in patients with gastrointestinal cancer.
6
Preoperative nutritional
condition

The preoperative physiological status of the
patient is known to influence postoperative
mobidity and mortality.
Lund et al., 1990
Law et al., 1994

Pretreatment nutritional support to maintain body
weight throughout treatment could possibly
decrease postoperative complications.

Patients

In total, 400 patients with an esophageal
malignancy undergoing esophageal resection and
gastric tube reconstruction between 1996 and 2003.

Weight loss
None, < 5%, 5-10%, > 10%
BMI
< 18.5, 18.5-24.9, 25-29.9, > 30
11

Discussion

The ROC curve shows that PNI and NRI do not
make sensitive tests for predicting infectious
complications.

No correlation was found between the degree of
preoperative weight loss and BMI and the
incidence of postoperative infectious complication
rate.
18
Discussion

Takagi et al. evaluated the relationship between
preoperative immunosuppression and morbidity
and demonstrated a higher BMI in patients with
postoperative complications.

They concluded that not the nutritional state but
depression of cell-mediated immunity was related
to the complication rate in patients who received
preoperative nutritional support.
19
Conculsion

Preoperative nutritional status established by PNI,
NRI, BMI and weight loss has no predictive value
on postoperative infectious complications in
patients with an esophageal malignancy.

Discussion

In the study, NRI is described as an independent
prognostic factor for both DFS and OS, which
emphasizes the major impact of nutrition on the
outcome of esophageal cancer patients.

Several previous studies have shown that weight
loss, serum albumin level, BMI, performance
status (PS) were able to be identified as
independent prognostic factors.
30
Conclusion

This study found a major impact of baseline
nutritional status on the outcome of esophageal
cancer patients treated by definitive
radiochemotherapy.

NRI was an independent prognostic factor of both
DFS and OS.

32
Purpose

To evaluate the effect of an intensive nutritional
support (INS) program under the guidance of a
dietician on postoperative outcome in patients
with esophageal cancer.
33
Patients
65 patients with
esophageal
cancer
37 patients who underwent an
esophagectomy between January
2006 and February 2009 were
included in the control group.
28 patients who underwent an
esophagectomy between March
2009 and April 2010 were included
in the INS intervention group.
34
Nutritional treatment

nutritional goals
orally

the nutritional
goals orally

Results

Preoperative weight change
P=0.048 unadjusted
Adjusted: non-significant
With NAT
P=0.002 unadjusted
P=0.009 adjusted
38
Results
The adjusted odds ratio
after surgery was 0.23
(95% CI: 0.05–0.97;
P=0.045)
The adjusted odds ratio
undergoing NAT was 0.14
(95% CI: 0.23–0.89;
P=0.037)
39
Results
Patients undergoing NAT
ICU/MCU stay: P=0.049
Hospital stay: P=0.04
40
Discussion

Dietary intervention is especially beneficial in
patients who received NAT.

The longer time between diagnosis and surgery
may have been to the advantage of the INS group.

The prevention of preoperative weight loss may
also be an explanation for the observed effect of
INS on postoperative complications in patients
receiving NAT.
41
Discussion

In the present study, patients in the INS group
were intensively guided by a dietitian without the
use of immune system modulating nutrients.

This result suggests that a lot is to gain with plain
improvement of energy and protein intake.
42
Conclusion

This study shows that INS by a dietician is
associated with preoperative weight preservation
and less severe short-term postoperative
complications in patients with esophageal cancer.
43
Summary

Nutritional status such as NRI, weight loss, serum
albumin, and performance status can be
independent prognostic factors in patients with
esophageal cancer and lead to an early specific
nutritional support.
44
Summary

Patients with esophageal cancer should have
dietary counseling once every two week, whether
in preoperative stage or in postoperative stage. As
well as the most important thing is that patients
with NAT is a high risk group that is most likely
to suffer from malnutrition, however, treating
them with INS can evidently improve their
nutritional condition, then it finally affect
prognosis positively and rise survival rate.
