Abstract

Abstract: Objective The aim of this study was to understand the nutritional status in patients with tumor and evaluate the
impact of malnutrition on clinical outcomes, then provide scientific reference for nutritional support of patients. Methods 802
patients were admitted in the period of 2014.06 to 2014.08 in 12 hospitals in Zhejiang Province. The rate of nutritional risk and
malnutrition was evaluated with nutrition risk screening 2002 (NRS 2002) and 2015 ESPEN diagnostic criteria, biochemical
indexes and nutrition therapy were recorded. Results The incidence rate of nutrition risk was 31.8% and malnutrition was 17.7%
and gastrointestinal tumor was higher than others. Weight and BMI were significantly lower in gastrointestinal tumor patients
than in non-gastrointestinal tumor patients (P<0.05); The ratio of nutrition therapy in the group of NRS 2002≥3 was 28.24%, and
6.4% in NRS 2002<3 (χ2=71.809, P<0.01). Nutrition therapy with malnutrition was 26.06% and 10.61% in well-nourished patients
(χ2=28.235, P<0.01). Patients at nutritional risk according to NRS 2002 （score≥3）prolonged hospitalization days and costs (P<0.01).
It’s the same as malnutrition except costs. Patients with malnutrition had no difference in the length of ICU and hospitalization
costs.
