Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this academic lead study is to explore the ideal nutritional support strategy for patient with acute severe stroke.
Detailed Description
Of high mortality and morbidity, severe stroke is associated with devastating damages in neurologic, respiratory, circulatory and many other systems. The outcomes of patients with severe stroke depend largely on medical strategies on acute stage, especially on nutritional support management. Unfortunately, clinical evidence are sparse and the ideal initial feeding strategy remains disputable. The IF-STROKE study aims to provide reliable data on the effects of modified full enteral feeding (target recruitment 200) and permissive underfeeding in patients with acute severe stroke (target recruitment 200) compared to full enteral feeding (target recruitment 200). Patients presenting with acute (\<72h) severe stroke (GCS ≦ 12 or NIHSS ≧ 11) and dysphagia (defined by Water Swallowing Test) will be randomly assigned to full enteral feeding, modified full enteral feeding, or permissive underfeeding treatment for 7 days.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Severe stroke occurred in 7 days.
- •GCS ≤12 or NIHSS≥
- •Any cases of profiles #3 through 5 in Water Swallowing Test or with disorder of consciousness.
- •Plan to receive enteral feeding for at least 7 days.
- •Informed consent.
Exclusion Criteria

Arms & Interventions
Full enteral feeding
The caloric goal of the first day is one-third of caloric requirements, the second day is half of caloric requirements, the third day is 70-100% and sustained for 1 week. Protein requirements are calculated at 1.2 to 1.5 g per kilogram of body weight per day.
Intervention: Initial enteral feeding
Modified full enteral feeding
Consistent with full enteral feeding plan, preventively add metoclopramide or mosapride everyday to improve gastrointestinal (GI) motility.
Intervention: Initial enteral feeding
Modified full enteral feeding
Consistent with full enteral feeding plan, preventively add metoclopramide or mosapride everyday to improve gastrointestinal (GI) motility.
Intervention: metoclopramide or mosapride
Permissive underfeeding
The caloric goal of the first day is one-third of caloric requirements, the second day is 40-60% and sustained for 1 week. Protein requirements are calculated at 1.2 to 1.5 g per kilogram of body weight per day.
Intervention: Initial enteral feeding
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Rate of patients with death or major disability (modified Rankin scale score ≥3)
Time Frame: 3 months after enrollment
modified Rankin scale score, with score ranging from 0 (normal) to 6 (death), was used to evaluate the functional outcomes after stroke.
Secondary Outcomes

- The scores of National Institute of Health stroke scale(7 days after enrollment)
- Glasgow Coma Scale(7 days after enrollment)
- modified Rankin scale(3 months after enrollment)
- Barthel index(3 months after enrollment)
- The incidence of treatment intolerance(7 days after enrollment)
- The incidence of serious adverse events(3 months after enrollment)
- The incidence of adverse events That are related to treatment(3 months after enrollment)
