| Abstract | OBJECTIVE: Up to 60% of hospitalized patients are undernourished. We studied the impact of nutritional therapy on quality of life and food intake. METHODS: Undernourished patients were randomized into two groups. The nutritional therapy group (NT group) received individual nutritional counseling and interventions, including oral nutritional supplements if appropriate, by a dietitian. The oral nutritional supplement group (ONS group) received oral nutritional supplements in addition to hospital meals without further instruction or counseling. Study duration was 10 to 15 d. At baseline and before discharge (time point 1) we measured energy and protein intakes and quality of life. Quality of life was measured again 2 mo after discharge (time point 2). RESULTS: Energy and protein intakes increased between baseline and time point 1 in both groups (P=0.001). The NT group (n=18) met the energy requirements at time point 1 by 107% and of protein by 94%, the ONS group (n=18) by 90% and 88%, respectively. Hospital meals alone did not cover the requirements. From baseline to time point 1, quality of life increased in both groups. Quality of life increased further in the NT group from time point 1 to time point 2 (P=0.016), but not in the ONS group. CONCLUSION: Both interventions caused a significant increase in energy and protein intakes and quality of life. In the NT group every patient received an efficacious individualized intervention. In contrast, the 7 of 18 patients in the ONS group who did not consume ONS had no intervention at all. Therefore, undernourished patients should be counseled individually by a dietitian. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
