“…Hervorzuheben ist die prognostische Relevanz des krankheitsassoziierten Gewichtsverlusts (unbeabsichtigter, signifikanter Gewichtsverlust > 10% des Ausgangsgewichts in 6 Monaten oder alternativ > 5% in 3 Monaten), der sowohl als Einzelparameter [7] als auch als Bestandteil verschiedener Scores zur Diagnostik einer Malnutrition zum Einsatz kommt, z.B. im Subjective Global Assessment [8], Nutritional Risk Index [9], Nutritional Risk Score [10] oder im Innsbruck Nutrition Score [11].…”

Malnutrition as Prognostic Factor Malnutrition is a common problem occurring in patients with chronic or severe disease. Prevalence of hospital malnutrition ranges between 20 and 60%, depending on the method and criteria used in order to determine nutritional status. Nutritional status is known to worsen during hospital stay which is partly due to poor recognition by the medical staff. Clinical malnutrition however is generally associated with increased morbidity and mortality in acute disease – such as stroke or hip fracture – as well as in chronic disease – such as liver failure or chronic renal failure – and has serious implications for recovery from illness and surgery. Length of hospital stay is longer in malnourished patients which in turn implies substantial higher costs. Therefore, nutritional assessment should be part of every medical examination in order to recognize malnutrition early and initiate nutritional therapy if necessary.

Cancer cachexia update in head and neck cancer: Definitions and diagnostic features

et al. 2014

Cachexia is a profoundly debilitating wasting syndrome that affects patients with head and neck cancer and often contributes to their demise. A comprehensive literature search was performed up to April 2013 using PubMed, the Cochrane Library, CINAHL, and the Google search engine. For the meta-analyses, pooled prevalence estimates were calculated with a confidence interval of 95% (95% CI) by using random effects modeling. In this review, we outlined the unique challenges of cancer cachexia among patients with head and neck cancer by reviewing its impacts on quality of life (QOL), morbidity, and mortality. We explored the prevalence of different clinical markers of cachexia at the time of diagnosis and before and after treatment. Finally, we present updates regarding the diagnosis of cancer cachexia and recent findings, such as cardiac dysfunction that warrant clinical attention to more carefully identify patients at risk and potentially lead to better outcomes.

Stellenwert eines Ernährungsscores bei Patienten mit fortgeschrittenen Karzinomen im Kopf-Hals-Bereich

Abstract: The results indicate the necessity of objective and reproducible diagnosis and control of malnutrition. The scoring system used may provide a useful and yet simple tool for assessing individual indications for timely nutritional support.
