详细描述
The purpose of this pilot study is to determine the effect of 3 months use of enhanced Oral Nutritional Supplementation (ONS) on muscle accretion and functional performance in malnourished elderly patients. The objectives of this study are to determine feasibility of recruitment, adherence to intervention and retention of the sample, as well as the capacity of subjects to complete functional and muscle mass measures for a planned multi-centre Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT).

研究组 & 干预措施
Standard of Care
Standard of care could include liberalized diet consisting of 3 meals and snacks served daily or the standard oral nutrition supplementation (ONS) routinely used in the hospital, as prescribed by the medical team.These routine meals and snacks are the "standard of care."
Ensure
Patients randomized to Enhanced Oral Nutritional Supplementation (ONS) will receive the standard of care hospital menu (3 meals and snacks per day) plus 2 cans of Ensure (or similar product) per day while in hospital and will continue 2 cans per day of Ensure when discharged home until they have been receiving the enhanced ONS for a total of 90 days.
干预措施: Ensure (Dietary Supplement)
结局指标
主要结局
Hospital Readmission Rate
时间窗: 90 days
The number of participants who are re-admitted to hospital within 90 days of randomization. This healthcare utilization outcome will be used to determine the cost-benefit of enhanced Oral Nutritional Supplementation.
次要结局
- Successful recruitment(1 year)
- Adherence to treatment(90 days)
