Background: Nutritional status is one of the important factors determining the short- and long-term outcomes of surgery in cancer. This study aimed to assess the prognostic role of preoperative controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) patients.
Methods: A total of 101 iCCA patients who underwent hepatectomy between 2015 and 2018 at the Srinagarind Hospital, Khon Kaen University, were included in this retrospective study. Patients were classified according to the CONUT score. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to determine the correlation between clinicopathological features and overall survival.
Results: Patients were categorized into normal nutrition (n = 40 or 39.5%), mild (n = 54 or 53.5%), and moderate-severe malnutrition (n = 7). Patients with high CONUT scores had significantly shorter survival (HR 2.55, 95% CI 1.04-6.25, p = 0.04). In multivariable analysis, tumor size (HR = 2.58, p < 0.01), the growth pattern of mass forming combined with periductal (HR = 4, p < 0.01), lymph node metastasis (HR = 7.20, p < 0.01) and high CONUT score (HR = 4.71, p = 0.01) were independent factors for poor survival of iCCA patients.
Conclusion: The preoperative CONUT score is a simple prognostic factor to predict the outcomes of iCCA patients undergoing hepatectomy.

Background: Maternal hemoglobin (Hb) is related to nutritional status, and it widely fluctuates during pregnancy. However, the relationship between Hb and blood pressure (BP) during pregnancy is unclear. This study aimed to estimate the associations between maternal Hb in various trimesters and its changes with BP during pregnancy.

Background: Despite the integration of iron supplementation into routine antenatal care programs as a nutritional intervention to prevent anemia in pregnant women, the use of this supplement for the recommended duration remains low in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Evidence on maternal compliance with iron supplementation at the SSA level is lacking and most of the previous studies have been limited to specific geographic areas. Therefore, the current study used large population survey data from 35 SSA countries to estimate the pooled prevalence of non-adherence and its determinants.

In the context of personalized and precision medicine, simultaneous monitoring of different forms of vitamins A and E and their metabolites could help us better understand the status of vitamins A and E in the body. The aim of this study was to establish a method for simultaneous determination of 13 kinds of vitamins A and E and their metabolites in human serum. Serum samples were directly detected by LC-MS/MS after deproteinization.

This two-phase study aims to develop the Turkish version of the German Eating Behavior Scale (SEV-Tr), and to investigate the potential associations of eating behaviors with nutritional and health status. In the first phase, the original scale was adapted to the Turkish language and its validity and reliability were assessed in 299 healthy individuals aged 19-64 years. In the second phase, the SEV-Tr was retested in a study population of 110 healthy individuals, aged 19-64 years, and the potential associations between the SEV-Tr score, anthropometrical and biochemical measurements, and other eating behaviors assessed by the Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire (TFEQ-Tr21) were examined.
