Adherence
Systematic dietary intervention during hospitalization for ischemic stroke significantly improves dietary patterns, specifically increasing unsaturated fatty acid (UFA) and fruit/vegetable consumption, compared to standard care.
If you or a loved one has had an ischemic stroke, ask for a systematic dietary consultation during the hospital stay. This structured guidance significantly improves the quality of diet (more fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats) compared to standard care, setting a better foundation for recovery.
ModerateSupportsMEDIUM confidence
This study showed that systematic dietary intervention during hospitalization improves the dietary patterns of ischemic stroke patients.
Why this rating
Before-and-after study with a control group, but monocenter, small sample size (n=34 per group), and short follow-up (6 months).
