Multidisciplinary nutritional care reduces nutritional deterioration and increases community discharge rates in hip fracture patients.
Hip fracture patients benefit from a team approach to nutrition, including a dietician who monitors their energy needs regularly. This helps them leave the hospital directly to their community rather than to other facilities.
GoodSupportsHIGH confidence
Multidisciplinary nutritional care reduced nutritional deterioration during admission (5.4 vs. 20.5 %; p= 0.049), and increased the rate of discharge directly back to the community (48.0 vs. 17.6 %; p=0.012) in a pragmatic intervention study [53].
Why this rating
Cites a pragmatic intervention study with significant p-values.
