Publishing protocols promotes transparency and reproducibility. The scope methods of for nutrition- diet-related randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have not been investigated yet. Map the landscape interventions research. We conducted a meta-research nutrition-and RCT published between January 2012 March 2022, in any language, targeting human participants, evaluating nutrition isolated or combined. A systematic search literature was six online databases. Bibliometric information, study...
Critical illness induces hypermetabolism and hypercatabolism, increasing nutrition risk (NR). Early NR identification is crucial for improving outcomes. We assessed four screening tools (NSTs) complementarity with the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria in critically ill patients.
Background Muscle wasting is associated with worse outcomes in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. We assessed the association of calf circumference (CC) measurements clinical COPD patients referred to an outpatient rehabilitation program (PRP). Methods In this single‐center, retrospective study, we analyzed demographic and data ( spirometry tests, comorbidities, exacerbations, dyspnea scoring, exercise capacity, quality‐of‐life scores, BMI, CC measurements, all‐cause...
Abstract Background Despite its correlation with skeletal muscle mass and predictive value for adverse outcomes in clinical settings, calf circumference is a metric underexplored intensive care. We aimed to determine whether adjusting low adiposity provides prognostic superior unadjusted measurement care unit (ICU) mortality other critically ill patients. Methods In secondary analysis of cohort study across five ICUs, we assessed patients within 24 h ICU admission. adjusted body index (BMI)...
Abstract Background Body mass index (BMI) presents prognostic value in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and despite its limitations capturing malnutrition, use is common to assess nutritional status. We aimed confirm the association between BMI in‐hospital outcomes acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD) inaccuracy diagnosing malnutrition. Methods diagnosed malnutrition using Subjective global assessment (SGA), Academy Nutrition Dietetics–American Society for Parenteral Enteral...
Abstract Background and Aims Nutrition societies recommended remote hospital nutrition care during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic. However, pandemic's impact on quality is unknown. We aimed to evaluate association between first COVID‐19 wave time start achieve therapy (NT) goals of critically ill patients. Methods A cohort study was conducted in an intensive unit (ICU) that assisted patients with May 2020 April 2021. The lasted approximately 6 months, dietitians prescribed...
Abstract Background & Aims The landscape of nutrition research has changed over the past decades. We aimed to map or diet-related interventions research, using data from randomised controlled trial (RCT) protocols published in last decade. Methods This meta-research study examined RCT journals indexed PubMed, Embase, Cinahl, Web Science, PsycINFO, Global Health Database between January/2012 and March/2022. Two reviewers independently screened titles abstracts check eligibility one...
Background and objectives: Journal articles describing randomised controlled trials (RCTs) are not optimally reported, often missing crucial details that ensure transparency reproducibility. We aimed to estimate the frequency of reproducible transparent research practices in a sample recently published nutrition- or diet-related RCTs. Methods: conducted meta-research RCTs journals indexed on Pubmed. used validated search strategy identify eligible between June 2021 2022. Two reviewers...
