Oral Nutritional Supplement for the Patient With or at Risk of Malnutrition

Malnutrition Clinical Trial

Official title:
Intervention With Oral Nutritional Supplement (ONS) for the Patient With or at Risk of Malnutrition

Clinical Trial Summary

In case of acute and chronic illness nutritional problems are widespread, and a reduced dietary intake in combination with effects of catabolic disease rapidly lead to malnutrition. A high prevalence of protein energy malnutrition in patients has been reported. A close relation between malnutrition and re-admission rate, cost of hospital care in terms of length of stay in hospital as well as mortality has been documented. A Cochrane review of the use of oral nutritional supplementation suggested that oral nutrition not only provided nutrients, but also has significant improvements on psychological and social functions, possibly through enhancing sensation of taste and flavor which is an important mediator of pleasure and well-being. Therefore, an oral option of nutrition is always considered as the first choice of nutritional intervention, in particular in situations where nutritional interventions, such as assisted feeding, are difficult, time-consuming and demanding due to advanced morbidity and slow responses. In this randomized controlled trial, the investigators will explore the gaps of nutritional needs and the potential use of nutrition supplementation in the management of malnutrition among patients in Hong Kong. The investigators aim to improve the nutrient intakes and the nutritional status of participants through a specially formulated oral nutrition supplement titled "Fresubin® Powder Fibre" to reverse malnutrition status due to acute and chronic illness. Fresubin® Powder Fibre is a nutritionally complete powder product to be reconstituted in different caloric densities (1.0 to 1.5 kcal/ml) and containing high quality protein and vitamin D for the dietary management of participants with or at the risk of malnutrition.
