Dietary inflammatory index and unfavorable dietary patterns associated with ischemic stroke in China
Abstract
Background and objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a fish oil-enriched food for special medical purposes (FSMP, ProSure) compared to an oncology-specific enteral nutrition product (TPF-T).
Methods and study design: This multicenter, randomized, open-label, non-inferiority phase III trial (NCT05301556) included patients with gastrointestinal tumors scheduled for surgery and at high risk for malnutrition. Participants were randomized 1:1 to receive either FSMP or TPF-T as a sole nutritional source from 4±2 days before surgery to 9±3 days postoperatively. The primary endpoint was the change in serum pre-albumin levels from baseline to 9±3 days post-surgery (non-inferiority margin: 20.807 mg/L).
Results: Of the 325 patients randomized (FSMP: n = 162; TPF-T: n = 163), FSMP demonstrated non-inferiority to TPF-T in maintaining serum pre-albumin levels in the perioperative patients (least square [LS] mean differ-ence: 6.9 mg/L, 95% CI: -5.0 to 18.8). FSMP showed a greater reduction in serum triglycerides (LS mean difference: -0.133 mmol/L, 95% CI: -0.239 to -0.027, p = 0.014), while comparable changes in other lipid parameters, serum albumin, body weight, or grip strength from baseline to 9±3 days post-surgery, and the length of hospital stay were observed between groups (all p >0.05). The most common treatment-emergent adverse events were gastrointestinal disorders, including abdominal distension (FSMP: 17.3% vs. TPF-T: 18.4%), di-arrhea (21.0% vs.…
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 2 of 5 (High · randomized trial). Randomized trials of a reasonable size are the strongest single-study design. Reported size: 325 participants or records.
