A retrospective study based on Thai data from Nutrition Day study (nD). Comparing clinical outcome between malnourished patients who were prescribed oral nutrition supplement along with hospital diet and those without oral nutrition supplement.
Hospital-based case management programs and home hospitalization services following the risk stratification model of Kaiser Permanente and Kings Fund select an estimated 5% of older individuals living in the community who are at high risk of hospitalization and adverse outcomes. The objective of these services is to avoid deterioration and hospital admissions or visits to the emergency services by regular follow-up, proactive home visits and support of self-care . The prevalence of malnutrition in patients selected using this model of care is unknown.
Carbon-12 and carbon-13 are naturally-occurring isotopes that are found in exhaled breath. Investigators have proved that the 13CO2/12CO2 breath delta value (BDV) changes in subjects who were in negative energy balance then fed a positive energy balance meal. Measuring one liter of exhaled breath daily may be a more convenient way to measure negative or positive energy balance in patients receiving intravenous nutrition.
The overall objective of the study is to investigate the effect of energy- and protein enriched home delivered meals vs. habitual diet in malnourished patients suffering from cancer on various endpoints.
Children living with HIV from sub-Saharan Africa often present with severe malnutrition. In severe malnutrition, metabolic and/or gut structural derangement may lead to inadequate antiretroviral (ARV) absorption and/or erratic drug levels. The greater surface area to weight ratio in severely malnourished children could also place them at higher risk of under dosing compared to children with mild to moderate malnutrition. However, limited data are available on the pharmacokinetics of ARVs in severely malnourished children. This study addressed this critical gap in knowledge by evaluating the PK of zidovudine (ZDV), lamivudine (3TC), and lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r) in severely malnourished children living with HIV, compared to children with normal nutrition to mild malnutrition living with HIV.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of a perioperative nutrition strategy using oral nutritional supplements (ONS) on postoperative complications and improvement in body weight in malnourished patients who underwent gastrectomy.
