Abstract

Objective: Assess the improvement of cluster enteral nutrition treatment for head and neck cancer patients. Methods: 104 participants was invested to join our study from December 2016 to December 2018. They were randomly assigned to intervention group and control group in study beginning. For intervention group, we provide additional cluster enteral nutrition treatment to them. In the process, we use the questionnaires, interview and follow-up to collect the data of them, the questionnaires included Scored Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment and Nutritional risk screening. The data shows the changing of nutrition status of participants in the process. Result: Base on albumin and transferrin of participants, the intervention had better improvement than that of control group (1.97±0.24 vs 1.61±0.20, 56.72±2.33 vs 50.17±2.01). In dietary assessment, intervention group had higher score than control group (11.34±1.61 vs 9.04±1.35). But in nutritional risk assessment, the change gap was not significant in the result. In different complications, the most of complication was nausea and vomiting in the participants [16 (30.77%) vs 7 (13.46%)]. Conclusion: the cluster enteral nutrition treatment had strongly influence for nutrition status of head and neck cancer patients. Moreover, the patients of intervention group had better nutrition status after cluster enteral nutrition treatment. Besides, the cluster enteral nutrition treatment provide better restore to head and neck cancer patients.
