Extra nutrition after hospital discharge for higher-risk patients
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at whether continuing nutritional support after you leave the hospital can reduce death risk and help you recover better—like improving strength, frailty, and daily functioning. It targets people who are at higher risk of poor nutrition during/after their hospital stay.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be an adult (18 or older) and currently a hospital patient.
- You need to agree in writing to take part in the study.
- You must be found to have high nutrition risk (NRS score of 3 or more).
- Your poor nutrition risk must be partly due to either recent weight loss or eating much less before hospital admission.
- You should not be discharged to a nursing home and should be able to eat food by mouth (no need for feeding you through a tube long-term).
- You should not be in certain emergency/high-acuity situations (for example, ICU-level COVID hospitalization) and should not be near the end of life.
