Resumo: | ObjectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the influence of nutritional status on the quality of life of a cohort of cancer patients submitted to chemotherapy. MethodsPatients receiving chemotherapy for the first time in a University Hospital in Pelotas (RS), Brazil, were evaluated prospectively. Their nutritional risk was determined by the Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment scores and their quality of life by the World Health Organization’s quality of life questionnaire, administered at the beginning and end of the study. ResultsOne hundred and forty-three patients were studied, 76.2% being females. The prevalence of malnutrition at baseline was 14.0%. The present study found that malnourished patients had a poor quality of life. The nutritional risk of 41.6% of the patients increased after chemotherapy. A significant association was found between the presence of symptoms and increased nutritional risk (p<0.001). Additionally, there was a significant negative correlation between physical domain and nutritional risk scores, showing that quality of life increases as nutritional risk decreases. ConclusionNutritional risk is inversely associated with quality of life in cancer patients after chemotherapy. Early nutritional interventions could minimize the side effects of treatment with a positive impact on quality of life. |

MétodosAvaliaram-se prospectivamente pacientes em quimioterapia de um hospital universitário de Pelotas (RS), Brasil. O estado nutricional foi avaliado por meio dos escores obtidos pela Avaliação Subjetiva Global Produzida Pelo Paciente e a qualidade de vida foi avaliada a partir da versão abreviada do questionário de qualidade de vida da Organização Mundial da Saúde. A Avaliação Subjetiva Global Produzida Pelo Paciente e o questionário de qualidade de vida foram aplicados no início e no final do estudo. ResultadosForam avaliados 143 pacientes, dos quais 76,2% eram mulheres. A prevalência de desnutrição na avaliação inicial foi de 14,0%. Observou-se que, tanto no início quanto no final do estudo, os pacientes desnutridos apresentaram pior qualidade de vida. Houve aumento do risco nutricional em 41,6% dos pacientes. Foi encontrada associação significativa entre a presença de sintomas e o aumento do risco nutricional (p<0,001). Além disso, houve correlação negativa estatisticamente significativa entre a variação dos escores do domínio físico e risco nutricional, evidenciando que conforme o risco nutricional diminui, melhora a qualidade de vida. ConclusãoConclui-se que as modificações no risco nutricional estão associadas a mudanças na qualidade de vida em pacientes com câncer. Sugere-se que o acompanhamento multidisciplinar desses pacientes poderia minimizar os efeitos colaterais do tratamento, diminuindo o risco de desnutrição, com repercussões positivas na qualidade de vida.Núcleo de Editoração – PUC-Campinas2023-08-29info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/article/view/9409Brazilian Journal of Nutrition; Vol. 23 No. 5 (2010): Revista de NutriçãoRevista de Nutrição; Vol. 23 Núm. 5 (2010): Revista de NutriçãoRevista de Nutrição; v. 23 n. 5 (2010): Revista de Nutrição1678-9865reponame:Revista de Nutriçãoinstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)instacron:PUC_CAMPenghttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/article/view/9409/6781Copyright (c) 2023 Lúcia Rota BORGES, Silvana Iturriet PAIVA, Denise Halpern SILVEIRA, Maria Cecília Formoso ASSUNÇÃO, Maria Cristina GONZALEZhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRota BORGES, Lúcia Iturriet PAIVA, SilvanaHalpern SILVEIRA, Denise Formoso ASSUNÇÃO, Maria Cecília GONZALEZ, Maria Cristina2023-08-29T14:38:47Zoai:ojs.periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br:article/9409Revistahttp://www.scielo.br/rnPRIhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/nutricao/oai||sbi.submissionrn@puc-campinas.edu.br1678-98651415-5273opendoar:2023-08-29T14:38:47Revista de Nutrição - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)false |
