Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: To assess the nutritional status of patients with gastrointestinal cancer before surgery at Military Hospital 103, according to GLIM criteria. Subjects and methods: a cross-sectional, descriptive study on 55 patients with gastrointestinal cancer before selective surgery, at the Department of Gastroenterology Surgery, Military Hospital 103, from January 2023 to January 2024. Nutritional status was assessed in patients before surgery, using GLIM criteria. General information, disease status, anthropometrics, and some test indicators were also collected. Results: Among the study subjects, 60% of patients had malnutrition according to GLIM criteria. In multivariate logistic regression analysis of factors affecting nutritional status in patients, MAMC and NLR were independent predictors of malnutrition. Conclusions: Preoperative gastrointestinal cancer patients had a high rate of malnutrition according to GLIM. MAMC and NLR were independents predictors of malnutrition.
