Lactoferrin and Lysozyme Supplementation for Long-term Diarrhea Sequelae
Children in low- and middle-income countries who are hospitalized for diarrhea and also have malnutrition are at high risk for illness and death in the 6 months period following treatment for diarrhoea despite receiving current guideline recommended diarrhea management (such as oral rehydration solution, or "ORS"). This study will test …
Impact of an Early and Extended Rehabilitation Program Combining Individually Tailored Nutrition and Physical Activities on Patient Outcomes After Invasive Mechanical Ventilation and Vasopressor Therapy in the ICU
The NUTRIREA-4 trial will test the hypothesis that an individually tailored rehabilitation program combining nutritional therapy, physiotherapy, and physical activity and started early in the ICU then continued uninterruptedly throughout the post-ICU stay and at home after hospital discharge improves the long-term outcomes of critical-illness survivors, compared to usual care. …
Evidence-based Practice in the Management of Gastric Tube Placement in Children
This multi-center quality improvement project aims to enhance gastric tube placement practices for children by systematically reviewing the latest evidence. The project team will identify gaps between current practices and best evidence, analyze barriers to implementing evidence-based guidelines, and develop strategies to facilitate their integration into clinical settings. The focus …
A Trial Testing a Two-way SMS Platform to Recognize and Prevent Wasting Among HIV-infected and HIV-exposed Uninfected Children in Kenya
The goal of this study is to test if a two-way text-message (SMS) maternally administered malnutrition monitoring system (MAMMS) that delivers infant and young child feeding (IYCF) education and supports caregivers in monitoring their child's nutritional status at home can improve nutritional outcomes for HIV-exposed children. The aims include 1) …
Effectiveness of Small-Quantity vs Medium-Quantity Lipid-Based Nutrient Supplements for Prevention of Undernutrition in Children 6-12 Months
Nutrition is essential for a child's growth, brain development, and protection from disease. While breastmilk provides the best nutrition for young infants, children older than six months may not get all the nutrients they need from breastmilk and regular foods alone. For this reason, some children receive special nutrient supplements …
Effect of Continued Nutritional Support at Hospital Discharge on Mortality, Frailty, Functional Outcomes and Recovery
This study is to compare the sustained post-discharge nutritional support to reach individual energy and protein goals to usual care home nutrition in medical patients at nutritional risk.
The SAM Project: Science Against Malnutrition Project
This prospective multicenter longitudinal study aims to investigate the prevalence, pathogenesis, and prognosis of pulmonary hypertension in patients with end-stage renal disease undergoing chronic hemodialysis. The research seeks to identify specific clinical factors and biomarkers like angiopoietin-2 that contribute to the development of this condition, while evaluating the prognostic value …
Implementation of Nutritional Efforts on Discharged Older Patients
The aim of the study is to implement a nutritional treatment when discharging older patients at risk of malnutrition. Data collected in the study will include an assessment of whether a combination of nutritional treatment and a liaison team reduces the risk of readmissions and mortality, improves nutritional status, physical …
Early Detection of Malnutrition in Oncology Patients and Elderly Patients
The project is a national, prospective, multicenter, non-interventional pilot project of malnutrition screening in the Czech Republic. The main goal of the project is to methodically prepare, implement and evaluate a pilot project that will verify the suitability of the proposed procedure for the early detection of malnutrition in oncology …
Nutritional Status and Patient Characteristics Upon Length of Stay, Clinical Outcome, and Survival in Older Hospitalized Patients
Disease-related malnutrition (DRM) describes undernutrition or imbalances in energy, protein, or other nutrient-needs, caused by a concomitant disease. Nutritional status plays a vital role in the fate of hospitalized patients, and DRM is associated with loss of function and decreased survival. DRM is a common condition in patients with acute …
