About this study

Official title: The Effect of Parenteral Nutrition Supplement Versus Enteral Nutrition Alone on Nutrition Status After Esophagectomy: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial

Malnutrition is common in esophagus cancer patients, especially after surgery therapy. Whether parenteral supplement with enteral nutrtion is benificial for patients after esophagectomy is controversial, when compared with enteral nutrition alone. In this study, the investigators are to examine the effect of enteral nutrition supplemented with parenteral nutrtion on nutrition status after esophagectomy.

Being tested
Parenteral supplement with enteral nutrition for patients after esophagectomy, Enteral Nutrition alone for patients after esophagectomy
Keywords

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. postoperative laboratory parameters changes for nutrition assessment compared to preoperation

    plasma albumin, prealbumin, transferrin, retinaldehyde-binding protein, total lymphocytes counts

    Measured: from one day before surgery to the 7th postoperative day

  2. postoperative body composition change compared to preoperation measurement

    postoperative body composition is compared to preoperation, bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy is used for measurement of body composition

    Measured: from one day before surgery to the 7th postoperative day
