Objective To systematically review the efficacy of enteral nutrition combined with parenteral nutrition (EN+PN) and enteral nutrition alone (EN) in gastric cancer patients undergoing gastrectomy. Methods PubMed, EMbase, CNKI and WanFang Data databases were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of EN+PN and EN in gastric cancer patients undergoing gastrectomy from inception to September 25th, 2021. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of the included studies. Meta-analysis was then performed by using RevMan 5.3 software. Results A total of 23 RCTs were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that compared to EN group, EN+PN group had a shorter hospital stay (MD=−1.75, 95%CI −2.45 to −1.05, P<0.000 1) and a lower risk of postoperative complications (RR=0.55, 95%CI 0.46 to 0.66, P<0.000 1). However, there was no statistical difference in the first exhaust time between the two groups. Conclusion The current evidence shows that EN+PN may contribute to reducing the incidence of postoperative complications and shortening the length of hospital stay in gastric cancer patients. Due to the limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high-quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusions.
