Disease Associated Underweight Clinical Trial
Official title:
Effects of Oral Nutrition Supplements in Children With Disease Associated Underweight
The purpose of this study is to test whether the provision of ONS to malnourished children
across Europe, in addition to standard counselling, will improve weight gain and other
outcomes.
The hypothesis to be tested is:
• Supplementation with ONS in malnourished paediatric patients will lead to increased WFH
gain, as well as less malnutrition related complications (e.g. infections).
Primary outcome • The change in BMI z-score over the intervention period of 3 months
Secondary outcomes
• The change in WFH-weight for height (z-scores) over the intervention period of 3 months
