Abstract:【Objective】To explore the effect of routine balanced total nutrient preparation combined with whey protein-enhanced nutritional support on the nutritional status and immune function of patients with severe traumatic brain injury (STBI). 【Methods】The clinical data of 90 STBI patients receiving nasogastric feeding in our hospital from May 2021 to June 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into the enhanced group (n=46) and the routine group (n=44) according to different nutritional support methods. The routine group was given nutritional support with routine balanced total nutrient preparation, while the enhanced group was given nutritional support with routine balanced total nutrient preparation combined with whey protein enhancement. Before and after intervention, the nutritional status [Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) score], serum nutritional indicators [total protein (TP), prealbumin (PA), albumin (Alb)], immune indicators [immunoglobulin A (IgA), immunoglobulin M (IgM), immunoglobulin G (IgG)], prognosis and incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.【Results】After intervention, the MNA scores of both groups were higher than those before intervention, and the enhanced group was higher than the routine group, with a statistically significant difference (P<0.05). After intervention, the levels of TP, PA and Alb in both groups were higher than those before intervention, and the enhanced group was higher than the routine group, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). After intervention, the levels of IgA, IgM and IgG in the enhanced group were higher than those in the routine group, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). The length of hospital stay in the enhanced group was shorter than that in the routine group, with a statistically significant difference (P<0.05); after intervention, the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score of the enhanced group was lower than that of the routine group, and the Activity of Daily Living (ADL) score was higher than that of the routine group, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions in the enhanced group and the routine group was 32.61% (15/46) and 38.64% (17/44) respectively, with no statistically significant difference (P>0.05).【Conclusion】Routine balanced total nutrient preparation combined with whey protein-enhanced nutritional support can improve the nutritional status of STBI patients, enhance immune function, promote the recovery of neurological function, improve the ability of daily living, and has good safety.
