Abstract
Background: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for gastric cancer is increasingly performed worldwide due to its efficacy and safety. This study aimed to assess the evidence of the impact of early vs. delayed feeding after ESD on quality of care, which remains to be fully determined. Methods: Electronic databases (PubMed, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, EMBASE) and the trial registries (the World Health Organization International Clinical Trials Platform Search Portal and ClinicalTrials.gov) were searched for studies performed prior to September 2020. Study selection, data abstraction, and quality assessment were independently performed using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation approach. Self-rated satisfaction and hospital stay were chiefly analyzed. Results: Two randomized controlled trials (239 patients) were included. The early and delayed post-ESD feeding groups had similar rates of post-ESD bleeding (risk ratio 1.90, 95% CI 0.42 to 8.63; I2 = 0%). Early post-ESD feeding resulted in increased patients' satisfaction in comparison to delayed post-ESD feeding (standard mean difference (MD) 0.54, 95% CI 0.27 to 0.81; I2 = 0%) and reduced the length of hospital stay (MD -0.83, 95% CI -1.01 to -0.65; I2 = 0%). Conclusion: Early post-ESD feeding was associated with increased patients' satisfaction and reduced hospital stay in comparison to delayed feeding, while the rate of complications did not differ to a statistically significant extent. As we must acknowledge the limited number of reviewed studies, various trials regarding the quality of care are further needed to determine the benefits of early feeding after ESD.
