摘      要：AIM： To investigate the potential role of perioperative nutrition in reducing complications and mortality in malnourished gastrointestinal cancer patients. METHODS： Four hundred and sixty-eight elective moderately or severely malnourished surgical patients with gastric or colorectal cancers defined by the subjective global assessment （SGA） were randomly assigned to 7 d preoperative and 7 d postoperative parenteral or enteral nutrition vs a simple control group. The nutrition regimen included 24.6±5.2 kcal /kg per d non-protein and 0.23±0.04 g nitrogen /kg per d. Control patients did not receive preoperative nutrition but received 600±100 kcal non-protein plus or not plus 62 ± 16 g crystalline amino acids postoperatively. RESULTS： Complications occurred in 18.3% of the patients receiving nutrition and in 33.5% of the control patients （P= 0.012）. Fourteen patients died in the control group and 5 in those receiving nutrition. There were significant differences in the mortality between the two groups （2.1% vs 6.0%, P=0.003）. The total length of hospitalization and postoperative stay of control patients were significantly longer （29 vs 22 d, P=0.014） than those of the studied patients （23 vs 12 d, P= 0.000）. CONCLUSION： Perioperative nutrition support is beneficial for moderately or severely malnourished gastrointestinal cancer patients and can reduce surgical complications and mortality.
