Readmission and mortality in malnourished, older, hospitalized adults treated with a specialized oral nutritional supplement: A randomized clinical trial
Open accessAbstract
BACKGROUND: Hospitalized, malnourished older adults have a high risk of readmission and mortality. OBJECTIVE: Evaluation of a high-protein oral nutritional supplement (HP-HMB) containing beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate on postdischarge outcomes of nonelective readmission and mortality in malnourished, hospitalized older adults. DESIGN: Multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial. SETTING: Inpatient and posthospital discharge. PATIENTS: Older (≥65 years), malnourished (Subjective Global Assessment [SGA] class B or C) adults hospitalized for congestive heart failure, acute myocardial infarction, pneumonia, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. INTERVENTIONS: Standard-of-care plus HP-HMB (n = 328) or a placebo supplement (n = 324), 2 servings/day. MEASUREMENTS: Primary composite endpoint was 90-day postdischarge incidence of death or nonelective readmission. Other endpoints included 30- and 60-day postdischarge incidence of death or readmission, length of stay (LOS), SGA class, body weight, and activities of daily living (ADL). RESULTS: The primary composite endpoint was similar between HP-HMB (26.8%) and placebo (31.1%). No between-group differences were observed for 90-day readmission rate, but 90-day mortality was significantly lower with HP-HMB relative to placebo (4.8% vs. 9.7%; relative risk 0.49, 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.27 to 0.90; p = 0.018). The number-needed-to-treat to prevent 1 death was 20.3 (95% CI: 10.9, 121.4). Compared with placebo, HP-HMB resulted in improved odds of better nutritional status (SGA class, OR, 2.04, 95% CI: 1.28, 3.25, p = 0.009) at day 90, and an increase in body weight at day 30 (p = 0.035). LOS and ADL were similar between treatments. LIMITATIONS: Limited generalizability; patients represent a selected hospitalized population. CONCLUSIONS: Although no effects were observed for the primary composite endpoint, compared with placebo HP-HMB decreased mortality and improved indices of nutritional status during the 90-day observation period.

“Yet, recent large randomized controlled trials (RCT) over the last five years have provided important new evidence showing that nutritional support can reduce morbidity and other complications in polymorbid patients, which may help us to answer these question and formulate evidence-based recommendations [8,9].”

“According to the NOURISH study, a multicenter RCT which included 652 malnourished inpatients, high protein bHMB ONS may not yield a difference when compared with placebo on readmission rates, but may help with the maintenance of muscle mass during hospital stay and result in a significant decrease in post-discharge mortality (90-day mortality was 4.8% in the IG vs. 9.7% in the CG; RR 0.49, 95% CI”

“However, in most RCTs on intervention with ONS, the sip feeds were given for at least three months [9,120e124], whereas individualized nutritional support (which might include ONS where necessary) was usually carried out for longer periods (e.g.four months in the study by Persson et al. [119], or six months in the studies of Feldblum et al. [116], Casals et al. [118], Bonilla-Palomas et al. [126],”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
