Resumen
HIGUERA-PULGAR, Isabel et al. Dietary intake and nutritional status in oncology patients who start treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Nutr. Hosp. [online]. 2015, vol.32, n.3, pp.1200-1207. ISSN 1699-5198. https://dx.doi.org/10.3305/nh.2015.32.3.9315.
Background: in recent years, researching about new oral antineoplastics has progressed while its impact on dietary intake and nutritional status (NS) hasnft developed enough yet. Objectives: dietary intake and NS assessment in patients who start treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) and evaluate its impact on them. Methods: an observational, prospective-six-months study, in which were included patients starting treatment with TKI. The intake was evaluated by a 24 h dietary record and a food frequency questionnaire. The NS was evaluated by anthropometric measurements and the patient-generated Global Subjective Assessment (PG-GSA); the results were compared with the Spanish references (SENC-semFYC, 2007 and O. Moreiras, 2013). Friedman test, χ2, Wilcoxon, Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney were used in the statistical analysis. Significance p<0.05. Results: 22 patients (54.5% male) were included. At baseline, NS was adequate in 73.9% of patients according PG-GSA. Weight loss was no significant, although a high percentage of the energy and protein requirements hadnLt been reached. The caloric intake was positively related with the number of meals. Dietary habits did not change during treatment. Conclusion: dietary intake did not reach nutritional requirements at baseline. The TKI donLt seem to affect the patientLs intake and nutritional status. The research about these parameters before starting treatment could prevent future complications and it would guide the dietary advice.
