Background: Elevated plasma vitamin B12 concentrations were identified as predictors of mortality in patients with oncologic, hepatic and renal diseases, elderly critically ill medical patients. The association between in-hospital adult at nutritional risk has not been assessed. Methods: In this five-year prospective study, we investigated whether high (>1000 pg/mL) are associated 1373 not-bed-ridden (Nutrition Risk Index <97.5), admitted to surgical departments. Results: Three hundred...
Abstract In recent years, whey proteins (WP) have attracted increasing attention in health and disease for their bioactive functions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the benefit WP isolate (WPI) supplementation addition nutritional counseling malnourished advanced cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy (CT). a single‐center, randomized, pragmatic, parallel‐group controlled trial ( ClinicalTrials.gov : NCT02065726), 166 with mixed tumor entities candidate or CT were randomly assigned...
Objective. Serum prealbumin is a recognized marker of malnutrition, but its role in the prognosis patients with SSc has not yet been investigated. The aim present multicentre prospective study was to investigate association between and mortality, independent clinical features, cohort outpatients.
The assessment of nutritional intakes during hospitalization is crucial, as it known that status tends to worsen the hospital stay, and this can lead negative consequences malnutrition. International guidelines recommend use parenteral nutrition (PN) in hypophagic, non-surgical patients at risk, with contraindications enteral nutrition. However, date, there are no published data regarding either energy intake or objective measurements associated patient population. aim present exploratory...
10098 Background: The benefit of systematic use oral nutritional supplements (ONS) in addition to counseling head and neck cancer (HNC) patients undergoing radiotherapy (RT) has not still been properly assessed. Methods: In a single-center, randomized, pragmatic, parallel-group controlled trial (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02055833; February 2014 - August 2016), 159 newly diagnosed HNC suitable for RT regardless previous surgery induction chemotherapy were randomly assigned combination with...
Background: The aim of the present prospective study (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02111538) was to assess prognostic value phase angle (PhA), derived from bioimpedance vectorial analysis (BIVA), in patients affected by systemic amyloid light-chain (AL) amyloidosis.Methods: One hundred-twenty seven consecutive newly diagnosed, treatment-naïve with histologically confirmed AL amyloidosis were enrolled. Nutritional assessment including BIVA-derived PhA performed before treatment...
11597 Background: In cancer patients protein-calorie imbalances are responsible for decreased lean body mass and, in turn, worse clinical outcome. We evaluated the prognostic value of a new composition parameter (creatinine height index [CHI]) obtained from bioimpedance vectorial analysis-derived cell and its association with nutritional functional status. Methods: Data Italian German based on information previous prospective cohort studies were used. Multivariable models (adjusted age,...
