This narrative synthesis aims to examine the dietary intake, diet quality, and dietary preferences of pediatric cancer patients during cancer treatment. Thirteen studies were eligible for review. Studies mostly investigated nutrient intake, with 7 reporting on children's food intake. There was consensus among studies, which reported suboptimal fruit and vegetable intake and a preference for savory, carbohydrate-based foods. Results suggest that pediatric cancer patients consume a limited variety of foods, with a high intake of noncore foods. Future research should aim to examine dietary food data against dietary guidelines to assess adequacy and variety within core food groups.
本叙述性综述旨在研究癌症治疗期间儿科癌症患者的饮食摄入、饮食质量和饮食偏好。有 13 项研究符合审查条件。这些研究主要调查了营养摄入情况,其中 7 项报告了儿童的食物摄入情况。有研究报告称,患儿水果和蔬菜摄入不足,偏爱咸的、含碳水化合物的食物,这些研究结果一致。结果表明,儿科癌症患者所食用的食物种类有限,非核心食物摄入较高。未来的研究应针对膳食食物数据对照膳食指南进行,以评估核心食物组内的充足性和多样性。
