Nutrition support for ICU survivors moving to a ward
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests if a special nutrition program helps people who have been in the ICU recover better when they move to a regular hospital ward. It looks at how well your body uses food and if this improves your recovery.

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.
This trial tests whether a high-protein diet or standard protein diet is better for critically ill patients who are at risk for refeeding syndrome (dangerous shifts in fluids and minerals when starting nutrition after starvation). The goal is to see which type of nutrition helps recovery.
