Assessments will be conducted at 4 time points (first and final week of radiotherapy, 4 and 12 weeks postradiotherapy). The primary outcome will be a nutritional status assessment. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethics approval from all relevant bodies has been granted. Study findings will be disseminated widely through peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:47:57 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36391 Tue 07 Apr 2020 15:11:35 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34984 Tue 03 Sep 2019 18:01:58 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35773 Thu 21 Nov 2019 12:56:59 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:1481 1 kg lost) or weight stable (≤1 kg lost) after an 8 week nutrition intervention period. Group survival duration (Kaplan Meier) and QoL (EORTC QLQ-C30) were compared. Predictors of weight stability were determined using logistic regression analysis. Results: Patients with weight stabilisation survived longer from baseline (log rank test 5.53, P=0.019). They also reported higher QoL scores (P=0.037) and a greater mean energy intake (P<0.001) at Week 8 than those who continued to lose weight. The absence of nausea and vomiting (OR 6.5, P=0.010) and female gender (OR 5.2, P=0.020) were independent determinants of weight stabilisation. Conclusions: Weight stabilisation over an 8 week period in weight-losing patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer was associated with improved survival duration and QoL.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:28:12 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:127 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:43:11 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20 7.4 L) for each of the prediction equations compared with measured TBW. Conclusions: At a group level, TBWca-underweight is the best predictor of measured TBW in patients with cancer cachexia. For an individual however, the limits of agreement are wide for all prediction equations and are unsuitable for use. Practitioners need to be aware of the limitations of using TBW prediction equations for individuals.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:42:07 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38504 n = 18) from five Australian hospitals delivered a period of routine care and following a randomly determined order each site received training and began delivering the EAT Intervention. A 20% random stratified sample of audio-recorded consultations (control n = 196; intervention n = 194) was coded by trained, independent, raters using a study specific checklist and the Behaviour Change Counselling Inventory. Intervention adherence and competence were examined relative to apriori benchmarks. Differentiation was examined by comparing control and intervention sessions (adherence, competence, non-specific factors, and dose), via multiple linear regression, logistic regression, or mixed-models. Results: Achievement of adherence benchmarks varied. The majority of sessions attained competence. Post-training consultations were clearly distinct from routine care regarding motivational and behavioural, but not generic, skills. Conclusions: Although what level of fidelity is "good enough" remains an important research question, findings support the real-world feasibility of integrating EAT into dietetic consultations with HNC patients and provide a foundation for interpreting treatment effects.]]> Mon 09 May 2022 16:20:26 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51357 Fri 01 Sep 2023 13:45:52 AEST ]]>
