Early intravenous branched-chain amino acid-enriched nutrition supplementation in older patients undergoing gastric surgery: a randomized clinical trial.
Background: The initiation time and formula for supplemental parenteral nutrition after surgery require optimization, especially in older patients undergoing major gastrointestinal surgery. This study aimed to assess the effect of early supplementation with a branched-chain amino acid (BCAA)-enriched formula (BAF) on short-term postoperative outcomes in older patients undergoing gastric surgery.
Methods: This single-center, prospective, double-blinded, randomized clinical trial was conducted from March 10, 2020, to September 15, 2022. Patients aged 65-80 years with gastric cancer scheduled for curative resection were assessed for eligibility and randomly allocated to a high-proportion BCAA (HBCAA) (early supplementation with the BAF) or control (routine nutrition) group. The primary outcome was the standardized length of hospital stay (LOS).
Results: A total of 150 patients were randomized. Thirteen patients were excluded due to the resection of other organs, presence of metastasis, or withdrawal of consent. Finally, we included 70 and 67 patients in the HBCAA and control groups, respectively (mean age: 70.5 ± 4.2 years; 96 men [70.1%]). The standardized LOS was significantly shorter in the treatment group than in the control group (median [interquartile range]: 8.0 [7.8, 8.0] vs. 8.5 [8.0, 9.0] days; mean difference, 0.38; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.02-0.74 days; P < .001). Patients in the HBCAA group showed better gastrointestinal function with faster defecation (4.0 [3.6, 5.0] vs. 5.0 [4.0, 5.5] days; mean difference, 0.6 days; 95% CI, 0.26-0.94 days; P < .001) and semi-liquid diet initiation (8.0 [7.5, 8.0] vs. 8.0 [8.0, 8.8] days; mean difference, 0.36 days; 95% CI, 0.03-0.7 days; P < .001) and had lesser weight loss at postoperative day 5 than those in the control group did (3.5 [2.7, 6.5] vs. 4.9 [3.3, 7.6]%; mean difference, 1.23%; 95% CI, 0.27-2.19%; P = .011).
Conclusions: In this randomized clinical trial, compared with routine nutrition, early supplementation with a BAF was associated with a shorter standardized LOS in older patients undergoing gastric surgery, suggesting that it may be a favorable strategy for patients with a poor tolerance to external nutrition who are undergoing major surgery.
期刊介绍:
Nutrition Journal publishes surveillance, epidemiologic, and intervention research that sheds light on i) influences (e.g., familial, environmental) on eating patterns; ii) associations between eating patterns and health, and iii) strategies to improve eating patterns among populations. The journal also welcomes manuscripts reporting on the psychometric properties (e.g., validity, reliability) and feasibility of methods (e.g., for assessing dietary intake) for human nutrition research. In addition, study protocols for controlled trials and cohort studies, with an emphasis on methods for assessing dietary exposures and outcomes as well as intervention components, will be considered.
Manuscripts that consider eating patterns holistically, as opposed to solely reductionist approaches that focus on specific dietary components in isolation, are encouraged. Also encouraged are papers that take a holistic or systems perspective in attempting to understand possible compensatory and differential effects of nutrition interventions. The journal does not consider animal studies.
In addition to the influence of eating patterns for human health, we also invite research providing insights into the environmental sustainability of dietary practices. Again, a holistic perspective is encouraged, for example, through the consideration of how eating patterns might maximize both human and planetary health.
