Objective: We retrospectively examined factors affecting controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score 1 year after surgery in gastric cancer patients.
Methods: Subjects were 50 patients with gastric cancer who underwent gastrectomy with curative intent between May 2015 and May 2018, received Nutrition Support Team intervention postoperatively, had no recurrence 1 year after surgery, and had CONUT scores assessed before and 1 year after surgery. Changes in the CONUT score 1 year after surgery and factors associated with the CONUT score were retrospectively analyzed.
Results: It was suggested that oral energy intake at discharge was an independent factor affecting the CONUT score 1 year after surgery.
Discussion: Perioperative nutritional management may affect medium- to long-term nutritional status in patients with gastric cancer.
