This study aimed to compare the nutritional status of pediatric patients with hematological malignancies and solid tumors.
A total of 74 pediatric cancer patients were assessed for anthropometric status, biochemical profiles, and dietary intake.
The prevalence of undernutrition was higher among patients with solid tumors as reflected in their lower dietary intakes of energy and nutrients compared with patients with hematological malignancies.
Adequate dietary intake is important for pediatric cancer patients, but nurses need to pay more attention to the diets of patients with solid tumors as compared with those with hematological malignancies.
本研究旨在比较血液系统恶性肿瘤患儿与实体肿瘤患儿的营养状况。
共对74名儿科癌症患者进行了人体测量状况、生化指标和饮食摄入量评估。
实体肿瘤患者中营养不良的患病率更高,这体现在与血液系统恶性肿瘤患者相比,他们的能量和营养素饮食摄入量较低。
充足的饮食摄入对儿科癌症患者很重要,但与血液系统恶性肿瘤患者相比,护士需要更加关注实体肿瘤患者的饮食。
