What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

Researchers at a Danish hospital are measuring how common protein-energy wasting and obesity are among people receiving dialysis. The study includes about 105 dialysis patients and uses body measurements, blood tests, and diet records to classify each person's nutritional state. The goal is to understand how these two conditions overlap in this population.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If researchers map how often wasting and obesity occur together in dialysis patients, clinics could improve nutrition screening and tailor dietary support for this group.
What could go wrong
This study only observes patients at one Danish hospital, so the numbers may not reflect dialysis populations elsewhere. It cannot show whether any nutrition treatment works.
