Fortified Hospital Food as Nutritional Support (DHH)
Positive Effect of Fortified Hospital Food on Nutritional Intake in Patients at Nutritional Risk. A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Background:
The investigators have previously documented that patients at nutritional risk lack sufficient energy and protein intake. In 2009 the investigators conducted a non-randomized historically controlled intervention study of 40 patients at nutritional risk. The study indicated that a tailored food concept increased nutritional intake in this patient group.
The objective of the current study is therefore to investigate these findings in a randomized clinical trial. Our target is for 75% of patients in the intervention group to reach 75% of their energy and protein requirements.
Methods:
The study will compare standard nutritional care (control group) with tailored nutritional care (the possibility to order small energy and protein-enriched dishes called "Delights of Herlev Hospital"). 96 patients at nutritional risk, according to the NRS-2002 criteria, will be included in the study.

Maatregel Beschrijving |
Tijdsspanne |
|---|---|---|
|
The primary endpoint was the percentage of patients reaching >75% of their protein and energy requirements.
Tijdsspanne: Energy and protein intake will be calculated on an average of 3 and up to 7 days of dietary. Number of days of food intake recording depends on how long the patient is hospitalized.
|
The patients energy requirement will be estimated both from the factorial method and by Harris and Benedicts formula. Protein requirement will be 18E% of the energy requirement. Recording of the dietary intake will be carried out on a daily basis over a periode of minimum 3 days and maxium 7 days |
Energy and protein intake will be calculated on an average of 3 and up to 7 days of dietary. Number of days of food intake recording depends on how long the patient is hospitalized.

Tijdsspanne |

|
handgrip strength
Tijdsspanne: at day 3, 5 and 7
|
Handgrip strength (HGS)will be measured with a Jamar Digital Hand Dynanometer.
HGS will only be measured in the right hand because the right hand i significantly stronger in right-handed subjects and there is no significant difference between the two sides in left-handed subjects.
Subjects will be encouraged to perform maximal contractions three times with a 15-s interval and the average value will be recorded.

Tijdsspanne: Patient und energy and protein intake will be followed during hospitalization from enrollment in the study and until discharge or up to 7 days
