Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Nutritional Support Team
Access to a Computerized Clinical Decision Support System (CCDDS)
Automatic CCDSS will alert physician for each case of malnourished using an algorithm based on age, sex, weight and size of each hospitalized children.
Education of Healthcare workers
Education of the hospital staff to evidence-based practices in malnutrition care will be proposed in the experimental arm. Specific training will be targeted on participants according to their function.
Local assistance by a dietician
Assistance will be conducted locally by a local dietician. Periodic multidisciplinary meetings will be attended by the hospital staff belonging to the intervention arm, including the analysis of clinical incidents related to nutrition care.
