Due to the absence of data about their role in food intake, it is necessary to evaluate the contribution of these products to the estimated needs of hospitalized patients. Methods: This is a prospective longitudinal study with hospitalized patients over 18 years of age, admitted to a public university hospital, who were given oral nutritional supplements, according to clinical guidelines. Food intake was quantified throughout the period such products were prescribed. Results: 805-day food intake follow-up and record of 128 patients, who took supplements for 6.4 days on average. The use of nutritional supplements demonstrated a significant contribution to the input of both energy (1576 kcal/day versus 1263 kcal/day, p<0.001) and protein (68.7 g/day versus 50.3 g/day, p<0.001). Conclusions: Nutritional supplements help increase food intake and achieve nutritional goals when prescribed in a hospital setting.info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSociedad Chilena de Nutrición, Bromatología y ToxicologíaRevista chilena de nutrición v.47 n.4 20202020-08-01text/htmlhttp://www.scielo.cl/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0717-75182020000400597en10.4067/S0717-75182020000400597 |
