[Analysis of the Effect of Nutritional Status on Pain Treatment in Cancer Patients Using Oral Opioid Analgesics].

In cancer patients, pain control is reportedly affected by the quality of their nutritional status as the disease progresses. We conducted a study of patients who were continuously using oral opioid analgesics for the treatment of cancer pain at Chibaken Saiseikai Narashino Hospital from September 2020 to August 2022. Patient characteristics and pain treatments were compared between the well-nourished group(mGPS 0 or 1, n=20)and poorly nourished group(mGPS 2, n=47).
