This retrospective study aimed to obtain information on the nutritional maintenance effects of Ninjin'yoeito (NYT) in elderly patients with chronic wasting diseases.
Changes in body weight and serum levels of total protein and albumin were investigated in patients who received NYT for chronic wasting diseases for more than six months in Mito Medical Centre, University of Tsukuba-Mito Kyodo General Hospital, Mito, Japan, from April 2009 to October 2019.
During the study period, 11 patients (median age: 75 years) received NYT for six months or more. The median administration period of NYT was 14 months. The body weight and serum levels of total protein and albumin at the time of the last observation were not significantly different from those at the beginning of NYT administration ( = 0.176, = 0.766 and = 0.550, respectively).
This study suggested the possibility of maintaining nutritional condition by administering NYT in elderly patients with chronic wasting disease of various aetiologies. More evidence will be required to confirm these results.
本回顾性研究旨在获取关于人参保胃方（NYT）在慢性消耗性疾病老年患者中维持营养状况效果的信息。
在日本筑波大学三德综合医院三岛医疗中心，2009 年 4 月至 2019 年 10 月期间，对接受 NYT 治疗慢性消耗性疾病超过 6 个月的患者进行体重和血清总蛋白及白蛋白水平变化的调查。
在研究期间，有 11 名患者（中位年龄：75 岁）接受 NYT 治疗超过 6 个月。NYT 的中位治疗期为 14 个月。最后一次观察时的体重及血清总蛋白和白蛋白水平与 NYT 开始时相比无显著差异（分别为 = 0.176、 = 0.766 和 = 0.550）。
本研究提示在各种病因的慢性消耗性疾病老年患者中，给予 NYT 可能具有维持营养状况的效果。需要更多证据来证实这些结果。
