Individualized Nutritional Intervention During and After Hospitalization: The Nutrition Intervention Study Clinical Trial
Abstract
Objectives To test the hypothesis that individualized nutritional treatment during and after discharge from acute hospitalization will reduce mortality and improve nutritional outcomes. Design Randomized, controlled trial. Setting Internal medicine departments. Participants Two hundred fifty-nine hospitalized adults aged 65 and older at nutritional risk were recruited and randomized according to hospitalization ward into one intervention and two control groups during hospitalization. Intervention Group 1 (intervention group) received individualized nutritional treatment from a dietitian in the hospital and three home visits after discharge. Group 2 received one meeting with a dietitian in the hospital. Group 3 received standard care. Groups 2 and 3 were combined into a single group that served as the control group in the analysis. Measurements Mortality, health status, nutritional outcomes, blood tests, cognition, emotional, and functional parameters were assessed at baseline and after 6 months. All participants were contacted monthly. Results The overall dropout rate was 25.8%. After 6 months, rise in Mini Nutritional Assessment score, adjusted for education and hospitalization ward, was significantly higher in the intervention group than in the control groups (3.01 ± 2.65 vs 1.81 ± 2.97, P =.004) mainly on the subjective assessment part (0.34 ± 0.86 vs. -0.04 ± 0.87, P=.004). The only laboratory parameter for which a difference was observed between the groups was albumin; 9…

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.
