摘要

Malnutrition is a common condition in hospitalized patients that is often underdiagnosed and undertreated. Hospital malnutrition has multifactorial causes and is associated with negative clinical and economic outcomes. There is now growing evidence from clinical trials for the efficiency and efficacy of nutritional support in the medical inpatient population. Since many medical inpatients at nutritional risk or malnourished are polymorbid (i.e., suffer from multiple comorbidities), this makes the provision of adequate nutritional support a challenging task, given that most of the clinical nutrition guidelines are dedicated to single diseases. This review summarizes the current level of evidence for nutritional support in not critically ill polymorbid medical inpatients.

Evolution of Nutritional Status after Early Nutritional Management in COVID-19 Hospitalized Patients

Dorothee Bedock, Julie Couffignal, Pierre Bel Lassen, Leila Soares, Alexis Mathian, Jehane P. Fadlallah, Zahir Amoura, Jean-Michel Oppert, Pauline Faucher

Summary: This study found that 28.6% of COVID-19 patients were malnourished 30 days after discharge, compared to 42.3% at admission. Early nutritional management helped some malnourished patients recover a normal nutritional status after discharge, but being transferred to intensive care units and high oxygen requirement during hospitalization were strong predictors of poor nutritional outcome.

Nutritional Care in Children with Cystic Fibrosis

Elena Mariotti Zani, Roberto Grandinetti, Daniela Cunico, Lisa Torelli, Valentina Fainardi, Giovanna Pisi, Susanna Esposito

Summary: Patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) are prone to malnutrition and growth failure due to malabsorption caused by chloride transport derangement. Optimal nutritional care and support are crucial for improving clinical outcomes and life expectancy. This report analyzes the nutrition support in CF patients of different ages, focusing on the relationship with growth, nutritional status, disease outcomes, and the use of CFTR modulators. Early nutrition support in CF should aim at achieving optimal nutritional status to support growth and development in children and maintain it in adulthood. This involves a high calorie, high-fat diet, pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy, and adequate supplementation of fat-soluble vitamins. Supplemental enteral feeding may be needed when oral intake is insufficient. CFTR modulators have positive effects on nutritional status, including weight gain, BMI improvement, pulmonary function, and reduction of exacerbations. Challenges remain in developing new drugs to transform CF into a treatable chronic disease with specialized multidisciplinary care.

How to best use procalcitonin to diagnose infections and manage antibiotic treatment

Philipp Schuetz

Summary: PCT can help differentiate bacterial from non-bacterial infections and inflammation states, particularly in respiratory illness. PCT-guided antibiotic stewardship has been shown to reduce antibiotic exposure and associated side-effects in patients with respiratory infection and sepsis. Patient-specific decisions regarding antibiotic usage should consider clinical situation, pretest probability for bacterial infection, severity of presentation, and PCT test results.

Inflammation and Nutrition: Friend or Foe?

Franziska Stumpf, Bettina Keller, Carla Gressies, Philipp Schuetz

Summary: The interplay between inflammation and nutrition has attracted significant attention recently. Inflammation has been identified as a critical factor in disease-related malnutrition, leading to anorexia, reduced food intake, muscle catabolism, and insulin resistance. Inflammation also affects the response to nutritional treatment, with patients with high inflammation showing no response and patients with lower inflammation levels showing a response. This may explain the conflicting results of nutritional trials.

Determinants of Treatment Toxicity in Patients with Soft Tissue Sarcomas

Katja A. Schonenberger, Emilie Reber, Karin Schlappi, Annic Baumgartner, Zeno Stanga, Attila Kollar

Summary: Soft tissue sarcomas are rare malignant tumors, and treatment decisions are typically based on patient and tumor characteristics. However, there is limited data on the impact of patient characteristics on clinical outcomes, particularly nutritional status. Body composition, including changes during treatment, has been found to be important in predicting toxicity and mortality. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between treatment toxicity and body composition in sarcoma patients undergoing palliative chemotherapy. Results showed that nutritional status, muscle thickness, and comorbidity were significantly associated with overall toxicity, highlighting the need for routine implementation of nutritional screening and therapy in cancer patients.

Summary: The optimal treatment of infections in the elderly population is challenging due to less specific clinical symptoms and signs. Elderly patients have a weaker immune response to infection and may be at risk of both over- and undertreatment. The use of biomarkers, particularly procalcitonin (PCT), has shown potential in assessing the risk of septic complications and guiding antibiotic treatment decisions in elderly patients.
