Abstract 2120P

Background

Malnutrition is frequent, but underdiagnosed consequence of gastrectomy. Nutritional status is an important factor influencing optimal recovery after treatment. The aim of the present study was to assess the prevalence of micronutrient deficiencies post gastrectomies.

Methods

Between January 2022 and January 2023, 115 patients post gastrectomy had micronutrient screening including vitamin B12, vitamin D, folate, ferritin and albumin. Patients with any micronutrients deficiency were invited for a follow-up and rehabilitation (nutrient rich diet, supplements). Descriptive statistics and t-tests.

Results

Patients’ characteristics were as follow: 64.3% women and 35.6% men; median age 58 [30-81]; median follow-up period 19 months [2-24]; proportion of patients with deficiency in vitamin B12, vitamin D, folate, ferritin and albumin were 5.2%,40%,10.4%, 23.4% and 20.9%, respectively. We observed significant improvement in several indicators (vitamin B12 156→357mmol/l, vitamin D 24.6→69.4mmol/l, folate 2.7→9.6mmol/l, ferritin 16.4→92.2mmol/l, albumin 2.2→3.0mmol/l, p=0.01).

Conclusions

This study defined the prevalence of micronutrient deficiencies post gastrectomy. Appropriate nutritional intervention based on findings micronutrients deficiency led to improve quality of life.
