Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| risk of malnutrition | Week 0 | Nutrition Rsik Screening 2002 is used to assess the risk of malnutrition. |
| BMI | Week 0 | Body mass index is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to adult men and women. It equals to weight divided by height square. |
| albumin | Week 0 | level of serum albumin |
| Quality of Life (QOL) | Week 0 | The QOL was measured by the European Organization for Research and Treatment quality of life version 3 questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) simplified Chinese version. It contains five functional scales (physical, role, cognitive, emotional, and social), three symptoms scales (fatigue, pain, and nausea and vomiting), a global health scale, a number of single items assessing additional symptoms commonly reported by cancer patients (dyspnea, appetite loss, insomnia, constipation, and diarrhea) and financial impact of the disease. For most items, four response categories from 1 (not at all) to 4 (very much) are employed; two items (overall health, overall quality of life) have response categories ranging from 1 to 7. A high scale score represents a higher response level. Thus a high score for a functional scale, the global health status or overall QOL represents a high or healthy status or a high QOL; however, a high score for the symptom scales represents a high level of symptom. |
