Brief Summary

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

Malnutrition increases the risk of complications and predisposes ti infections through impaired immune response and wound healing. Healthcare costs related to the management of malnourished patients is estimated to be more than double the amount spent managing non- malnourished

The objective of this study is to examine the effect of newly developed energy and nutrients-dense beverage product on the nutritional status among patients at risk of malnutrition.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Malnutrition is a complex state described as a deficiency of energy, protein and other nutrients causing measurable adverse effect on body tissue, function and clinical outcome.

Oral nutritional supplementation has in multiple individual trials and meta-analyzes shown an increased total energy intake and protein intake in patients in hospital settings as well as in the community.

The largest producer of dairy products in Norway, TINE AS released a new milk based energy- and nutrient dense product, called E+. The initiative behind this was Haukeland University Hospital and the municipality of Bergen. The product were developed to prevent malnutrition in the elderly and patients with a low food intake and high energy requirements.

The overall contribution to this study will be to provide new insight on how to offer malnourished patients the best available treatment.
