A mixed-method prospective study was
conducted. Multivariate analysis and qualitative interviews were performed to
identify factors associated with ONS intake and patient compliance.Of 162 gastrointestinal cancer patients
provided with an ONS prescription, the median of mean ONS intake is 250.00
(IQR,125.00-333.72)kcal/d, and the median of mean patient compliance was 50.00%(IQR,25.00%-90.48%).
Multivariate analysis indicated that BMI<18.5kg/m2 (β=-0.20,P=0.01) andgiven an explicit daily
prescribed amount of ONS (β=0.20,P=0.004) were significant factors associated
with more ONS intake.
