Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Rationale:

The objective of this study was to investigate whether a new energy dense food concept, on order 24 hours a day, would lead to a minimum 75% intake of nutritional needs in patients at nutritional risk. The investigators target was for 70% of patients to reach 75% of their energy and protein requirements.

Methods:

An intervention study was conducted with inclusion of 40 patients at nutritional risk, according to the NRS-2002 criteria. The food concept consisted of 36 small delicious dishes. Patients could choose food from both the new concept and the ordinary patient buffet. The investigators monitored patients' nutritional requirements and daily nutritional intake.

Intervention Type DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

The study was a 12 weeks intervention trial with inclusion of 40 patients at nutritional risk, according to the NRS-2002 system.

All included patients received nutritional counseling and information about the new food concept by a clinical dietician.

Recording of the dietary intake was carried out on a daily basis over a period of 3 to 7 days, with nutritional registration forms filled in by the nurse and/or the patient.
