To investigate the postoperative nutritional status and the feature analysis of patients with pancreatic cancer.

From January 2015 to June 2018, 149 patients with tumors were enrolled into present study. including 105 cases of pancreatic cancer (pancreatic cancer group) and 44 cases of other tumors (control group). Statistical analysis were performed by using SPSS 19.0 software. Measurement data, such as biochemical indicators, anthropometric and nutritional indicators were expressed as (±s), and were examined by using independent t test. Count data such as sex, type of pancreatic cancer and first symptom of patients were examined by chi square test. A P value <0.05 was considered as statistically significant difference.

For 105 patients with pancreatic cancer, the first symptoms accounted for the highest is epigastric pain (51.43%), secondly is abdominal distension (12.38%), thirdly is jaundice (11.43%); Compared with the control group, the arm medium circumference and riceps skinfold thickness in pancreatic cancer group significantly increased, but the grip strength significantly decreased(P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the level of Hb, ALB, TP and PAB in pancreatic cancer group significantly decreased, but TG and TC level significantly increased, with significant difference(P<0.05). Compared with the nutritional group, the length of stay and hospitalization expenses of the malnutrition group significantly increased, but the karnofsky performance status score significantly decreased, with significant difference(P<0.05).

Compared with the other cancer patients, the incidence of malnutrition such as low ALB, in patients with the pancreatic cancer is high with poor prognosis.
