The Claim

A structured, proactive nutritional care model delivered via a digital follow-up platform is associated with a 24 percentage point increase in GLIM-defined malnutrition remission at 12 months after radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer compared to standard care.

In plain English

Patients who received structured nutritional care through a digital platform after stomach cancer surgery had a 24 percentage point higher rate of recovery from malnutrition at 12 months than those who received standard care.

See the scientific wording

A structured, proactive nutritional care model delivered via a digital follow-up platform is associated with a 24 percentage point increase in GLIM-defined malnutrition remission at 12 months after radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer, with 58.0% of patients achieving remission compared to 34.0% in those receiving standard care, suggesting that intensive, monitored nutritional support improves long-term nutritional recovery in this population.

Why this might work

A digital system tracks food intake and body changes, and when it detects low protein or weight loss, it prompts quick corrections. This ensures the body gets enough protein to build and keep muscle, while also lowering harmful inflammation. With more muscle and less inflammation, the body recovers from malnutrition and regains normal health.

  1. Study: Structured proactive nutritional care delivered via a digital follow-up platform is associated with better postoperative outcomes in gastric cancer patients after radical gastrectomy

    Patients who got regular nutritional advice through a digital app after stomach cancer surgery were more than twice as likely to recover from malnutrition one year later compared to those who only got basic follow-up care.
