          Abstract

          Resumen Introducción La desnutrición corresponde al déficit de energía y nutrimentos. Contribuye con mayor número y gravedad de complicaciones en diversas enfermedades. En procedimientos quirúrgicos, la desnutrición se ha relacionado con infecciones intrahospitalarias e incremento en mortalidad. Se ha postulado que una valoración nutricional adecuada identifica de forma oportuna el riesgo de desarrollar complicaciones. Objetivo Identificar la frecuencia de riesgo de desnutrición preoperatoria y sus efectos en pacientes sometidos a intervención quirúrgica por patología gastrointestinal. Material y métodos Estudio clínico observacional, descriptivo y retrospectivo, que incluye la totalidad de expedientes de pacientes que fueron intervenidos por cirugía gastrointestinal de enero a diciembre de 2016. La asociación entre variables con el desenlace primario se realizó mediante análisis de regresión logística. Resultados Se incluyeron 138 expedientes. La frecuencia de riesgo de desnutrición preoperatoria fue del 4%. El grupo con riesgo de desnutrición tuvo una mediana de estancia hospitalaria de cinco vs dos días en el grupo sin riesgo (p = 0.014). No se observaron diferencias estadísticas en complicaciones postquirúrgicas. La hipoproteinemia es el principal factor sérico relacionado con la existencia de desnutrición preoperatoria (OR 5.91, IC 95% 1.12-31.1, p = 0.036). Finalmente, la presencia de riesgo de desnutrición preoperatoria se asoció con estancia hospitalaria prolongada (OR 1.33, IC 95% 1.07-1.64, p = 0.008) Conclusiones La existencia de riesgo de desnutrición preoperatoria se relaciona con estancia hospitalaria prolongada en pacientes intervenidos por cirugía gastrointestinal. Estudios subsecuentes deberán enfocarse en implementar estrategias nutricionales que incidan en menor tiempo de estancia en hospital.

          Abstract Introduction Malnutrition consists of deficit of energy and nutrients. It can contribute to increase the number and severity of complications of the disease. Among surgical procedures, malnutrition its related with nosocomial infections and higher mortality. It has been postulated that an adequate nutritional assessment reduces the risk of developing complications. Objective To determine the prevalence of preoperative malnutrition and it’s effects in patients undergoing surgery for gastrointestinal pathology. Material and methods This is a clinical observational, descriptive and retrospective chart review of patients who underwent gastrointestinal surgery from January 2016 to December 2016. The association between risk factors and main outcome was analyzed with logistic regression analysis. Results Our population consisted of 138 files of patients who underwent gastrointestinal surgery. The prevalence of malnutrition was 4%. The group at risk of preoperative malnutrition had a median hospital length of stay of 5 vs 2 days in the group without risk (p = 0.014). There were non-statistical significant differences in post-surgical complications. Hypoproteinemia is the main serum biomarker related to the existence of preoperative malnutrition (OR 5.91, 95% CI 1.12-31.1, p = 0.036). It was identified that the existence of risk of preoperative malnutrition is related to prolonged hospital stay (OR 1.33, 95% CI 1.07-1.64, p = 0.008) Conclusions The evidence of risk of preoperative malnutrition is related to prolonged hospital stay in patients who underwent gastrointestinal surgery. Subsequent studies should focus on nutritional interventions that could shorten hospital length of stay.

          Comparison of five malnutrition screening tools in one hospital inpatient sample.

          The purpose of this study is to compare five commonly used malnutrition screening tools against an acknowledged definition of malnutrition in one hospital inpatient sample. Early identification and intervention of malnutrition in hospital patients may prevent later complications. Several screening tools have reported their diagnostic accuracy, but the criterion validity of these tools is unknown. A cross sectional study. We compared quick-and easy screening tools [Malnutrition Screening Tool (MST), Short Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire (SNAQ) and Mini-Nutritional Assessment Short Form (MNA-SF)] and more comprehensive malnutrition screening tools [Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST) and Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS-2002)] to an acknowledged definition of malnutrition (including low Body Mass Index and unintentional weight loss) in one sample of 275 adult hospital inpatients. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were determined. A sensitivity and specificity of ≥ 70% was set as a prerequisite for adequate performance of a screening tool. According to the acknowledged definition of malnutrition 5% of patients were at moderate risk of malnutrition and 25% were at severe risk. The comprehensive malnutrition screening tools (MUST, NRS-2002) and the quick-and-easy malnutrition screening tools (MST and SNAQ) showed sensitivities and specificities of ≥70%. However, 47% of data were missing on the MUST questionnaire and 41% were missing on MNA-SF. The MNA-SF showed excellent sensitivity, but poor specificity for the older subpopulation. The quick-and-easy malnutrition screening tools (MST and SNAQ) are suitable for use in an hospital inpatient setting. They performed as well as the comprehensive malnutrition screening tools (MUST and NRS-2002) on criterion validity. However, MUST was found to be less applicable due to the high rate of missing values. The MNA-SF appeared to be not useful because of it low specificity. Insight in what is the most valid and practical nutritional screening tool to use in hospital practice will increase effective recognition and treatment of malnutrition. © 2011 Blackwell Publishing Ltd.

            Desnutrición hospitalaria

            Identificar la desnutrición es fundamental en el ambiente hospitalario para evitar o minimizar la repercusión en la evolución clínica de los enfermos e la asociación con mayores complicaciones, mayor tiempo de estancia hospitalaria e incremento en la mortalidad, y eso está asociado a costos aumentados para la institución y la sociedad. Los objetivos dese estudio fueran descreer la epidemiologia de la desnutrición hospitalaria, los tipos de desnutrición, la respuesta orgánica al ayuno, la evolución clínica del enfermo con desnutrición e las consecuencias de la desnutrición en las diferentes etapas de la vida, para tanto, realizamos una revisó sobre desnutrición hospitalaria. Encontramos que la prevalencia de desnutrición es elevada en el ambiente hospitalario, la desnutrición influencia factores genéticos, metabólicos y hormonales del organismo humano y conlleva a efectos perjudiciales desde el desarrollo fetal intrauterino hasta la vida adulta. Hay también diferentes tipos de desnutrición, siendo la diferenciación importante para decidir el mejor tratamiento. También, encontramos la desnutrición está relacionada con la inflamación. Cuando la inflamación es crónica y de grado leve a moderado (como el fallo de un órgano, cáncer pancreático, obesidad, artritis reumatoide o sarcopénica) se puede utilizar el término "enfermedad crónica relacionada con de la desnutrición", y, cuando la inflamación es aguda y de grado severo (infección grave, quemaduras, trauma o lesión en la cabeza cerrada), el término "enfermedad aguda o lesiones relacionadas con la desnutrición" es preferido. Por último, el paciente con desnutrición tiene peor evolución clínica que el paciente que presenta un adecuado estado de nutrición.

              Surgical stress response: does endoscopic surgery confer an advantage?

              H Kehlet (1999)
              "Open" surgical procedures are followed by profound changes in endocrine metabolic function and various host defense mechanisms, impaired pulmonary function, and hypoxemia. These physiologic changes are supposed to be involved in the pathogenesis of postoperative morbidity. Endoscopic surgery, mostly studied during laparoscopy, when compared with similar open operations, has no important effects on classic endocrine metabolic responses but may slightly reduce inflammatory responses and various immune functions, although the data are not consistent. In contrast, most data show improvement of postoperative pulmonary function and less hypoxemia with endoscopic operation. The slight modification of surgical stress responses by endoscopic surgery is in contrast to the common, though not universal, demonstration of less pain, shorter hospital stay, and less morbidity after endoscopic surgery. In conclusion, endoscopic surgery has so far not been demonstrated to have important modifying effects on classic endocrine metabolic responses and only a slight inhibitory effect on various inflammatory responses, but with improved pulmonary function and less hypoxemia. More data are needed from major operations where differences are more likely to be found. The clinical consequences of these findings in relation to all over surgical outcome remain to be defined, but effective pain treatment, stress reduction by other techniques, and provision of an active rehabilitation program with early mobilization and oral feeding may be more important than the choice between an endoscopic technique versus "open" operation per se to improve outcome.
