Parenteral Hydration in Patients With Advanced Cancer: A Multicenter, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Randomized Trial.

PURPOSE: The vast majority of patients with cancer at the end of life receive parenteral hydration in hospitals and no hydration in hospice, with limited evidence supporting either practice. In this randomized controlled trial, we determined the effect of hydration on symptoms associated with dehydration, quality of life, and survival in patients with advanced cancer. [...]

Hydration in Advanced Cancer: Can Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis Improve the Evidence Base? A Systematic Review of the Literature.

CONTEXT: Decisions surrounding the administration of clinically assisted hydration to patients dying of cancer can be challenging because of the limited understanding of hydration in advanced cancer and a lack of evidence to guide health care professionals. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) has been used to assess hydration in various patient groupings, but evidence for its [...]

FLUID INTAKE AND THE RISK OF BLADDER CANCER: RESULTS FROM THE SOUTH AND EAST CHINA CASE-CONTROL STUDY ON BLADDER CANCER

Although several studies have assessed the association between total fluid intake, specific drinks and bladder cancer, no firm conclusions can yet be drawn. Four hundred thirty two bladder cancer cases and 392 frequency matched hospital-based controls recruited in the South and East of China between October 2005 and June 2008 were interviewed on their intake [...]

“The Meaning of Parenteral Hydration to Family Caregivers and Patients With Advanced Cancer Receiving Hospice Care. “

CONTEXT: In the U.S., patients with advanced cancer who are dehydrated or have decreased oral intake almost always receive parenteral hydration in acute care facilities but rarely in the hospice setting. OBJECTIVES: To describe the meaning of hydration for terminally ill cancer patients in home hospice care and for their primary caregivers. METHODS: Phenomenological interviews [...]

ARTIFICIAL HYDRATION THERAPY FOR TERMINALLY ILL CANCER PATIENTS: A NURSE-EDUCATION INTERVENTION.

The Japanese Society of Palliative Medicine has developed a clinical guideline to minimize the large variation in clinical practice of artificial hydration therapy for terminally ill cancer patients. The primary aim of this preliminary study was to explore the effects of a five-hour interactive workshop based on the guideline of nurses' knowledge, confidence, self-reported practice, [...]

BIOELECTRICAL IMPEDANCE PHASE ANGLE CHANGES DURING HYDRATION AND PROGNOSIS IN ADVANCED CANCER.

INTRODUCTION: We wished to determine bioelectrical impedance (BIA) correlates before hydration or changes during hydration and determine if these changes were prognostically important. METHODS AND MATERIALS: Fifty eligible patients underwent BIA measurements 3 consecutive days. Laboratory studies (electrolytes, creatinine, and hemoglobin) on day 1; weights and vital signs were recorded. Kaplan-Meier survival estimates were made [...]

ENVIRONMENTAL AND NUTRITIONAL FACTORS SIGNIFICANTLY ASSOCIATED WITH CANCER OF THE URINARY TRACT AMONG DIFFERENT ETHNIC GROUPS.

A high incidence rate of urinary tract cancer in the Acre District among the Jewish population compared with the non-Jewish population has been studied. The dietary and environmental factors identified and the possible mechanisms of the protective effect that may be conferred by fluid intake, olives and olive oil, cumin, and pepper (chili pepper and [...]

DRINKING, MICTURITION HABITS, AND URINE CONCENTRATION AS POTENTIAL RISK FACTORS IN URINARY BLADDER CANCER.

Investigation of micturition and drinking habits in urban (n = 475) and rural (n = 156) working populations demonstrated less frequent micturition, decreased fluid intake, and a higher urine concentration in the urban as compared to the rural group. All these differences were significant (P less than .01) by multivariate analysis, adjusting for age and [...]
