New treatment option for Malnutrition
Official title Improving Nutritional Adequacy of ICU Survivors in a Prospective Interventional Way: the Bright Side Study
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06023251
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- The objective is to increase caloric adequacy in patients who survived critical illness and are admitted to the ward by the use of a pro-active inclusive nutritional strategy including supplemental parenteral and/or enteral nutrition and/or oral nutritional supplements guided by indirect calorimetry. This enables the investigators to address, within a clinical/scientific context, a recently demonstrated but until now relatively neglected 'dark side' of patient care at UZ Brussel, comparable to limited global evidence : iatrogenic malnutrition of ICU survivors.
