What is being measured

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

  1. risk of malnutrition

    Nutrition Rsik Screening 2002 is used to assess the risk of malnutrition.

    Measured: Week 0

  2. risk of malnutrition

    Nutrition Rsik Screening 2002 is used to assess the risk of malnutrition.

    Measured: Week 12

  3. BMI

    Body mass index is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to adult men and women. It equals to weight divided by height square.

    Measured: Week 0

  4. BMI

    Body mass index is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to adult men and women. It equals to weight divided by height square.

    Measured: Week 12

  5. albumin

    level of serum albumin

    Measured: Week 0

  6. albumin

    level of serum albumin

    Measured: Week 12

  7. Quality of Life (QOL)

    The QOL was measured by the European Organization for Research and Treatment quality of life version 3 questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) simplified Chinese version. It contains five functional scales (physical, role, cognitive, emotional, and social), three symptoms scales (fatigue, pain, and nausea and vomiting), a global health scale, a number of single items assessing additional symptoms commonly reported by cancer patients (dyspnea, appetite loss, insomnia, constipation, and diarrhea) and financial impact of the disease. For most items, four response categories from 1 (not at all) to 4 (very much) are employed; two items (overall health, overall quality of life) have response categories ranging from 1 to 7. A high scale score represents a higher response level. Thus a high score for a functional scale, the global health status or overall QOL represents a high or healthy status or a high QOL; however, a high score for the symptom scales represents a high level of symptom.

    Measured: Week 0

  8. Quality of Life (QOL)

    The QOL was measured by the European Organization for Research and Treatment quality of life version 3 questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) simplified Chinese version. It contains five functional scales (physical, role, cognitive, emotional, and social), three symptoms scales (fatigue, pain, and nausea and vomiting), a global health scale, a number of single items assessing additional symptoms commonly reported by cancer patients (dyspnea, appetite loss, insomnia, constipation, and diarrhea) and financial impact of the disease. For most items, four response categories from 1 (not at all) to 4 (very much) are employed; two items (overall health, overall quality of life) have response categories ranging from 1 to 7. A high scale score represents a higher response level. Thus a high score for a functional scale, the global health status or overall QOL represents a high or healthy status or a high QOL; however, a high score for the symptom scales represents a high level of symptom.

    Measured: Week 12

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. physical function status

    Using Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group to assess the physical function.

    Measured: Week 0

  2. physical function status

    Using Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group to assess the physical function.

    Measured: Week 12

  3. Knowledge-Attitude-Practice

    Knowledge Scale composes of 10 questions and 10 scores for each question. Attitude and Practice Scale have 5 questions. Each question is rated as A、B、C. A represents 20 score and B is 10 score.

    Measured: Week 12
