Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Micronutrients contain important nutritional components such as vitamins, minerals and other nutrients that are essential for maintaining normal functions of the body. Micronutrient deficiencies affect at least half of children under five years of age. In a study conducted in pediatric oncology patients, micronutrient deficiency was shown to have a frequency of 74%, and selenium deficiency in particular negatively affected clinical outcomes. Contrary to recommended nutrient intakes (RNI) and expert opinion for healthy children, evidence-based recommendations for micronutrient requirements in critically ill children are not available. However, in pediatric palliative care, if the nutritional history indicates inadequate nutritional intake and/or growth indicates malnutrition, nutritional deficiencies that may have systemic effects, such as iron and vitamin B12 deficiency, need to be investigated.
This article aims to fill the gap in the literature by determining the micronutrient levels of pediatric palliative care patients hospitalized in the Pediatric Palliative Care Clinic. The research aims to contribute to a better understanding of the nutritional needs of patients in pediatric palliative care and to direct treatment approaches more effectively.
