BACKGROUND: Postoperative rehabilitation of elderly patients with gastric cancer has always been the focus of clinical attention. Whether the intervention by a full-course nutritional support team can have a positive impact on the postoperative immune function, nutritional status, inflammatory response, and clinical outcomes of this special population has not yet been fully verified. AIM: To evaluate the impact of full-course nutritional support on postoperative comprehensive symptoms in elderly patients with gastric cancer. METHODS: This is a retrospective study, including 60 elderly gastric cancer patients aged 70 years and above, divided into a nutritional support group and a control group. The nutritional support group received full postoperative nutritional support, including individualized meal formulation, and intravenous and parenteral nutrition supplementation, and was regularly evaluated and adjusted by a professional nutrition team. The control group received routine postoperative care. RESULTS: After intervention, the proportion of CD4+ lymphocytes (25.3% ± 3.1% vs 21.8% ± 2.9%, P < 0.05) and the level of immunoglobulin G (12.5 G/L ± 2.3 G/L vs 10.2 G/L ± 1.8 G/L, P < 0.01) were significantly higher in the nutritional support group than in the control group; the changes in body weight (-0.5 kg ± 0.8 kg vs -1.8 kg ± 0.9 kg, P < 0.05) and body mass index (-0.2 ± 0.3 vs -0.7 ± 0.4, P < 0.05) were less significant in the nutritional support group than in the control group; and the level of C-reactive protein (1.2 mg/L ± 0.4 mg/L vs 2.5 mg/L ± 0.6 mg/L, P < 0.01) and WBC count (7.2 × 109/L ± 1.5 × 109/L vs 9.8 × 109/L ± 2.0 × 109/L, P < 0.01) were significantly lower in the nutritional support group than in the control group. In addition, patients in the nutritional support group had a shorter hospital stay (10.3 d ± 2.1 d vs 14.8 d ± 3.6 d, P < 0.05) and lower incidence of infection (15% vs 35%, P < 0.05) in those of the control group. CONCLUSION: The intervention by the nutritional support team has a positive impact on postoperative immune function, nutritional status, inflammatory response, and clinical outcomes in elderly patients with gastric cancer.
