Changes in nutritional management after gastrointestinal cancer surgery over a 12-year period: a cohort study using a nationwide medical claims database.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Nutritional management in patients after gastrointestinal cancer surgery has changed throughout the 2000s. However, its evolution has not been formally studied. This study aimed to evaluate changes in nutritional management using real-world data.

Methods

Patient data from 2011 to 2022 were extracted from a nationwide medical claims database. Patients were divided into four groups based on their year of hospital admission: period I, 2011-2013; II, 2014-2016; III, 2017-2019; IV, 2020-2022. For each period, feeding routes in all patients and prescribed doses of parenteral energy and amino acids in fasting patients during postoperative days (POD) 1-7 were determined. The results of the four different periods were compared using statistical trend tests.
