NCT ID NCT07183098
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study followed 193 patients at high risk of malnutrition who were admitted to a rehabilitation hospital. Researchers tracked whether specialized nutritional care affected hospital readmission rates, emergency visits, and other health outcomes three months after discharge. The goal was to understand the clinical and economic impact of nutritional support in this vulnerable group.
