Abstract：Objective To analyze the effect of nutrition intervention combined with enteral nutrition pump on nutri-tional status and quality of life of patients with thoracic esophageal cancer based on nutritional risk screening 2002(NRS-2002)scale.Methods A total of 120 patients with thoracic esophageal cancer admitted to author's hospital from August 2022 to July 2024 were reviewed,they were divided into experimental group(n=62)and control group(n=58)accord-ing to the nutrition intervention mode.The control group received conventional intervention with enteral nutrition pump,the experimental group received nutrition intervention on the basis of control group based on NRS-2002 scale.The pa-tient-generated subjective global assessment(PG-SGA)scale scores,nutritional indicators[hemoglobin(Hb),albumin(ALB)and prealbumin(PA)],European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Question-naire-C30(EORTC QLQ-C30)scores and complications were compared between the two groups.Results After interven-tion,PG-SGA scale scores of both groups were lower than those before intervention,and the experimental group got a lower score compared to the control group(all P＜0.05).After intervention,the levels of Hb,ALB and PA of patients in both groups were higher than those before intervention,and the levels were higher in experimental group(all P＜0.001).After intervention,EORTC QLQ-C30 scores of patients in all dimensions were higher than those before inter-vention,and the experimental group got higher scores compared to the control group(all P＜0.05).The total incidence of complications of patients showed no statistically significant difference between the two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion Combined the use of nutrition intervention based on NRS-2002 and enteral nutrition pump can improve nutritional status of patients with thoracic esophageal cancer,and enhance the quality of life with safety.
