Suboptimal Intake of Nutrients after Esophagectomy with Gastric Tube Reconstruction
Esophagectomy with gastric tube reconstruction results in a variety of postoperative nutrition-related complaints that can impair nutritional intake and nutritional status. The aim of this study was to determine to what extent patients reached the recommended intake of various nutrients at 6 and 12 months after esophagectomy. It was also analyzed whether a suboptimal intake could be explained by the most clinically significant nutrition-related complaints after esophagectomy. In a prospective cohort study (2002 to 2006), the nutrient intake of 96 patients, recorded in preprinted nutritional diaries, was compared with the recommended energy intake in The Netherlands and Recommended Dietary Allowance of protein and micronutrients.
