Malnutrition Clinical Trial
Official title:
Investigation of the Effectiveness and Efficiency of a Structural Clinical Nutrition Support by an Interdisciplinary Nutrition Support Team at the University Hospital Tübingen
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness and efficiency of a structural clinical nutrition support by an interdisciplinary Nutrition Support Team. To do this we examine nutritional management and its economic impact as well as the nutritional status of patients of University Hospital Tübingen before and after the implementation of a Nutritional Support Team.
In German hospitals disease related malnutrition is a major problem. Malnutrition is known
to be associated with decreased quality of life, altered body composition as well as
increased length of hospital stay. Guidelines recommend the installation of Nutrition
Support Teams (NST) to combat this situation. However, the majority of German hospitals
lacks a NST.
In the present study, we want to examine the effectiveness and efficiency of a Nutrition
Support Team (NST) in an University hospital with 1500 beds. To do this we investigate the
nutritional management, its economic impact and patient related data before and after
NST-implementation. Examinations include a structural analysis of the hospital with regard
to nutritional procedures and a patient-based analysis.
Patients are recruited from three representative normal wards and two intensive care units.
Here we identify patients with risk for malnutrition with the help of nutritional screening
tools (NRS 2002 [Nutritional Risk Screening]; NUTRIC [Nutritional Risk in the critically
ill] Score).This is performed within the first three days after admittance. The patients
with risk for malnutrition (NRS 2002 of 3 or more than 3, NUTRIC Score of 4 or more than 4)
are included for further investigations. These include anthropometric measurements ,
assessment of body composition, evaluation of nosocomial infection and decubitus rate,
quality of life (SF-12 questionnaire), length of hospital stay, evaluation of mortality
risk, organ function and severity of illness as well as economic factors. Most examinations
are repeated weekly depending from the length of stay in hospital.
All this examinations and evaluations will be collected at two time points. Before and after
the implementation of a nutritional support team. That means we have two groups: group A-
before NST-implementation (n=420) and group B - after NST-implementation (n=420).
After the whole data collection we want to compare the results of the two groups.
