Background: A reasonable and standardized dietary plan and procedure can help patients recovering quickly from lung cancer surgery. The aim of this study is to optimize the diet plan and procedure mainly based on medium chain triglyceride (MCT) diet and explore its clinical advantages for postoperative lung cancer patients.
Methods: From October 2023 to December 2023, a total of 156 patients were collected, who underwent lung cancer surgery in Lung Cancer Center, West China Hospital of Sichuan University. The patients were randomized into MCT group (76 cases) and routine diet (RD) group (80 cases). Clinical symptoms, biochemical index, postoperative hospitalization time and cost, dietary satisfaction and hospitalization comfort between the two groups were analyzed.
Results: The mean anus exhausting time in MCT group [24.00 (9.75, 36.97) h] was significantly shorter than that in RD group [28.50 (24.00, 48.00) h] (P<0.001). And the incidence of dizziness (18.42%), nausea and vomiting (6.58%) in MCT group were remarkably lower than those in RD group (51.25%, 31.25%) (P<0.001). Hospitalization comfort score in MCT group [(16.74±1.70)] was significantly higher than that in RD group [(14.83±2.34)] (P=0.016). Meanwhile, the average hospitalization cost in MCT group [(39,701.82±8105.47)¥] showed an obvious decrease compared with RD group [(44,511.79±9593.19)¥] (P=0.007).
Conclusions: Optimizing the dietary plan and procedure mainly based on MCT diet for postoperative lung cancer patients can help the recovery of gastrointestinal function and improve hospitalization comfort, which promoted overall postoperative rehabilitation of patients with lung cancer surgery.
【中文题目：肺癌患者术后饮食种类与方案 对其住院舒适度和康复的影响】 【中文摘要：背景与目的 肺癌术后合理、规范的饮食方案与流程有助于患者快速康复。本研究旨在通过优化以中链甘油三酯（medium chain triglyceride, MCT）为主的饮食方案与流程，探讨其对肺癌患者术后康复的临床优势。方法 收集2023年10月至2023年12月在四川大学华西医院肺癌中心行肺癌手术的患者共156例，其中MCT组76例和常规饮食（routine diet, RD）组80例，分析比较两组患者术后临床症状、生化指标、术后住院时间及费用、膳食满意度与住院舒适度等指标的差异。结果 术后肛门排气时间MCT组为24.00（9.75, 36.97）h，显著短于RD组的28.50（24.00, 48.00）h（P<0.001）；MCT组头晕和恶心呕吐发生率分别为18.42%和6.58%，显著低于RD组的51.25%和31.25%（P<0.001, P<0.001）；MCT组住院舒适度评分为（16.74±1.70）分，显著高于RD组的（14.83±2.34）分（P=0.016）；MCT组平均住院费用为（39,701.82±8105.47）¥，显著低于RD组的（44,511.79±9593.19）¥（P=0.007）。结论 肺癌患者术后以MCT为主的饮食方案与流程优化有助于促进患者胃肠功能的恢复，提高住院舒适度并加速术后康复。 】 【中文关键词：肺肿瘤；中链甘油三酯饮食；膳食满意度；住院舒适度】.
