RESUMO

Malnutrition, a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with cancer has been assessed by different criteria and methods. The aim of this study was to compare subjective, anthropometric and laboratorial methods as predictors of morbidity and mortality. Seventy-four patients (45 men, 29 women) with a mean (SD) age 62.8 (10.2) years who underwent esophagectomy (n=19), gastrectomy (n=43) and pancreatectomy (n=12) were assessed using PG-SGA, classic anthropometry, APM and laboratory methods. Forty-three (58%) patients experienced weight loss greater than 10% in 6 months. Twenty-five, 34 and 15 patients had SGA-A, B and C respectively, the mean (SD) of DAPM was 13 (3.5) mm and NDAPM was 12 (3.6) mm. Mean levels (SD) albumin was 3.8 (0.5) g/dL, and hemoglobin was 12.5 (1.8) g/dL. The mean (SD) hospital stay was 34 (29) days for cases and 23 deaths (13) days for survivors (NS). The SGA-B was significantly associated with higher mortality (n=12) compared to category C (n=10) and A (n=2, Fisher exact test, p <0.001). Patients with a mean (SD) of DAPM below 10.8 (3.7) mm had more deaths than those with mean (SD) greater than 14 (3) mm (t student, p <0.001). The area under the ROC curve (95%) for ASG-PPP was 0.75 (0.64 to 0.87, p <0.001) and 0.74 (0.61 to 0.87, p <0.001) for the DAPM. None of the methods was significantly related to hospital stay, but nutritional assessment of these patients by the PG-SGA and DAPM allowed reliably predicting mortality.
