The Claim

Higher engagement with a digital nutritional follow-up platform is associated with a dose-response improvement in nutritional outcomes after radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer, with each 10-point increase in composite engagement score linked to a 28% higher odds of GLIM-defined malnutrition remission and reduced muscle loss.

In plain English

Patients who interact more frequently with a digital nutritional follow-up platform after stomach cancer surgery have a higher likelihood of recovering from malnutrition and losing less muscle mass, with each 10-point increase in platform usage corresponding to a 28% higher chance of malnutrition remission.

Why this might work

When patients follow a digital nutrition plan, they eat more protein at the right times, which tells their muscles to stop breaking down and start rebuilding. The system also catches early signs of weight loss or low protein in the blood and fixes them fast, stopping inflammation from eating away muscle. This keeps the body strong enough to handle cancer treatment without delays.

  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 used the digital app more often after stomach cancer surgery were much more likely to recover from malnutrition and keep more muscle than those who didn’t use it much. The more they logged in and followed the app’s advice, the better their recovery.
