Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study

Summary

This trial tests whether having clinical dietitians take the lead on nutrition care—rather than waiting for referrals—can help adult medical inpatients at risk of malnutrition. Researchers will compare a dietitian-driven model with usual care on three hospital wards, measuring length of stay, readmissions, nutritional intake, and quality of life. The study aims to see if this proactive approach improves outcomes and lowers costs.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
a dietitian-driven nutritional care model where clinical dietitians lead screening, planning, and treatment on hospital wards
What this could lead to
If effective, this approach could become a standard way to organize hospital nutrition care, potentially reducing hospital stays and healthcare costs.
What could go wrong
This is a single-center study with a before-after design, so results may not apply to other hospitals. The model may not improve outcomes or could be harder to implement than expected.
