Aim: The aim of our study was to evaluate a hypercaloric sweet milk-based oral nutrition supplement in a prospective 3-day study designed to assess the taste preferences of this oral nutritional supplement (ONS) in malnourished inpatients and the influence on adherence in daily intake. Methods: A total of 46 in patients with recent weight loss were included in this study. One flavor (chocolate, vanilla or strawberry) was administered each day in a random way to each patient during 3 consecutive days. In the first 3 days, patients were asked to fill 2 questionnaires intended for reflecting ONS tolerance and acceptance. Results: Sweet was better for chocolate flavor (3.9 ± 2.4 points) than for vanilla flavor (2.7 ± 2.3 points; p < 0.02) and strawberry flavor (3.1 ± 2.3 points; p < 0.01). Chocolate flavored ONSs were rated as having more aftertaste (3.4 ± 2.1 points) than vanilla (2.4 ± 2.1 points; p < 0.01) and strawberry (2.6 ± 1.5 points; p < 0.03). Patients who chose chocolate took a total of 20.7 ± 20.9 average bricks during hospitalization (1.95 ± 0.2 per day), patients who chose vanilla took 18.6 ± 21.0 bricks (1.90 ± 0.7 per day) and finally patients who chose strawberry took 14.5 ± 13.5 bricks during admission (1.78 ± 0.1 per day; p < 0.01). Conclusions: The taste preferences of all the ONSs are similar although the consumption is high in chocolate flavored ONS during hospitalization. Sweetness may have influenced this finding.

Abstract: The aim of our study was to evaluate a hypercaloric sweet milkbased oral nutrition supplement in a prospective 3 day-study designed to assess the taste preferences of this oral nutritional supplement (ONS) in elderly malnourished out-patients and the influence on adherence in daily intake during two months.A total of 28 out-patients with recent weight loss were included in this study. One flavour (chocolate, vanilla or strawberry) was administered each day in a random way during three consecutive days. In the first three days, patients were asked to fulfill two questionnaires in order to reflect ONS tolerance and acceptance. Sweet and aftertaste were better for chocolate flavour than for vanilla or strawberry flavours. Patients who chose vainilla took a total of 96.3+7.4 average bricks during outpatient followup (1.60+0.3 per day), patients who chose chocolate took 76.8+15.0 bricks (1.28+0.8 per day) and patients who chose strawberry bricks taken 60.3+19.5 bricks (1.10+0.7 per day), with a significant difference with vainilla flavour (p <0.01). The improvement of weight (vanilla +1.0+0.8 kg vs chocolate +0.5+0.8 kg vs 0.6+1.0 kg:p=0.03), tricipital skinfols (vanilla +1.5+0.3 mm vs chocolate +1.1+0.4 mm vs 0.7+0.3 mm:p=0.03), prealbumin levels (vanilla +4.2+0.8 mg/dl vs chocolate +3.9+0.7 mg/dl vs +3.6+1.0 mg/dl:p=0.01) and transferrin levels (vanilla +100.0+21.8 mg/dl vs chocolate +75.5+18.8 mg/dl vs 63.8+14.1 mg/dl:p=0.03) was higher in patients treated with vanilla ONS than chocolate or strawberry ONS. The three flavoured ONS taste preferences are similar although the consumption is high in vanilla flavoured ONS.

Background: The association between oral nutritional supplement use and nutritional parameters among patients with nondialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD-ND) with or at high risk of undernutrition/protein-energy wasting has not been previously studied. The definition of patient subgroups most likely to benefit from oral nutritional supplementation (ONS) is also an area where more research is needed. Objective: To assess nutritional parameter trajectories among patients with CKD-ND prescribed oral nutritional supplements in British Columbia, and to compare trajectories by nutritional phenotype. Design: Longitudinal cohort study, pre-post design. Setting: Multidisciplinary CKD clinics across British Columbia. Patients: A total of 3957 adult patients with CKD-ND, who entered multidisciplinary CKD clinics during 2010 to 2019, met criteria for oral nutritional supplement prescription based on dietitian assessment, and received ≥1 oral nutritional supplement prescription. Measurements: Longitudinal nutritional parameters, including body mass index (BMI), serum albumin, serum bicarbonate, serum phosphate, and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR). Methods: Using linear mixed models, slopes for nutritional and inflammation parameters were assessed in the 2-year periods before and after the first oral nutritional supplement prescription. Hierarchical cluster analysis was applied to identify nutritional phenotypes using baseline data, and slope analysis was repeated by cluster. Results: In the pre-oral-nutritional-supplement period, declines in BMI (−0.87 kg/m2/year, 95% confidence interval [CI]: −0.99 to −0.75), albumin (−1.11 g/L/year, 95% CI: −1.27 to −0.95), and bicarbonate (−0.49 mmol/L/year; 95% CI: −0.59 to −0.39), and increases in NLR (+0.79/year; 95% CI: 0.60 to 0.98) and phosphate (+0.05 mmol/L/year; 95% CI: 0.04 to 0.06) were observed. Following oral nutritional supplement prescription, there were statistically significant increases in BMI slope (+0.91 kg/m2/year, P < .0001), albumin slope (+0.82 g/L/year, P < .0001), and phosphate slope (+0.02 mmol/L/year, P = .005), as well as a decline in NLR slope of −0.55/year ( P < .0001). There was no significant change in bicarbonate slope. Cluster analysis identified 5 distinct phenotypes. The cluster with the highest mean baseline NLR and lowest mean BMI demonstrated the greatest number of improvements in nutritional parameter slopes in the post-oral-nutritional-supplement period. Limitations: Possibility of residual confounding. Data on dietary intake, muscle mass, and nutritional scoring systems were not available in the registry. Conclusions: Among patients with CKD-ND prescribed oral nutritional supplements, there were improvements in nutrition/inflammation parameters over time following the first ONS prescription. The heterogeneity in response to ONS by cluster subgroup suggests an individualized approach to nutritional management may be beneficial.

Objective This study develops the nutrition supplement plan after weighing, and research how to supply nutrition in this important time on the basis of the dietary nutrition adjustment in pre-competition. Formulate the nutrition supplement plan for women’s wrestlers by quantized, and evaluate this plan. Methods To prepare for the key players of the 13th National Games, a 16-week daily dietary adjustment was conducted according to the results of a nutrition survey on the slow-fall-weight control phase before the competition. Routine dietary adjustment was proved by changes in body composition and improvement of anaerobic capacity. The plan was developed, that includes weighing meals, liquid nutritional supplements and inorganic salts solutions after weighing, on the basis of the regulation on nutrition. Results The balance between the total daily dietary intake and its ratio can make the athlete achieve the ideal effect of weight control in the normal training. Comparing the indicators before and after 16 weeks, it was found that after the athlete's diet was basically balanced and reasonable the body weight decreased significantly, the fat-free body weight remained unchanged, the body fat percentage decreased significantly, and the anaerobic capacity increased significantly. After weighing during the competition nutritional supplement plan can be executed, and the total body water, urine protein, urine specific gravity can be restored to normal levels developed, that includes weighing meals, liquid nutritional supplements and inorganic salts solutions after weighing, on the basis of the regulation on nutrition. Conclusions This study through the understanding of the basic nutritional status of athletes before the game, according to the conditions of each athlete to give the corresponding dietary guidance, and use 16 weeks to supervise the implementation. Athletes' dietary structure and nutrient intake change significantly, and then the nutrition achieves balanced and reasonable. To investigate the nutritional situation this time, that combined with the characteristics of energy supply and nutritional, which for wrestling athletes, worked out the nutritional supplement plan after weighing by quantitative data. This plan can be performed well; the effect of supplement is improved obviously; and on discomfort appeared during the game by the athletes who performed it. This study is a preliminary exploration of the nutritional supplement plan for athletes during the important recovery phase of the game. Follow-up research will involve more projects in order to promote this special period to other weight-level projects eventually.

Background: Oropharyngeal dysphagia is a prevalent risk factor for malnutrition in older patients and both conditions are related to poor outcome. For the management of (risk of) malnutrition in patients with oropharyngeal dysphagia pre-thickened oral nutritional supplements are available. Objective: The objective of the study is to describe tolerance parameters (stool frequency and incidence and intensity of gastrointestinal symptoms), study product intake (compliance), product appreciation and product properties of a pre-thickened oral nutritional supplement compared to a manually-thickened standard oral nutritional supplement. Design: A randomized, open label, controlled, parallel group study. Setting: participants were recruited through nine general practices in Ireland, one nursing home in The Netherlands, and one hospital in Germany. Participants: Fifty patients requiring oral nutritional support (twenty-four of fifty cases (48%) with dysphagia) were divided into two groups: test group (N = 27) and control group (N = 23). Intervention: During four weeks the test group received a ready-to-use, low volume (125 mL), and energy dense pre-thickened oral nutritional supplement, and the control group a manually-thickened iso-caloric oral nutritional supplement (200 mL) with a similar viscosity. Measurements: Compliance and stool frequency were recorded daily, evaluation of the product appreciation and properties and gastrointestinal tolerability were assessed with questionnaires. Results: Incidence and intensity of gastrointestinal symptoms was not statistically different between groups. Pre-thickened oral nutritional supplement scored significantly better on compliance in week 4 (p = 0.019), on thickness appreciation by patients (day 14, p = 0.035) and on product properties evaluation by carers (appearance, preparation time, ease of preparation and change in thickness, all p < 0.001) compared to the manually-thickened ONS. Conclusion: These results substantiate the use of pre-thickened oral nutritional supplement for the dietary management of patients in need of nutritional support and with oropharyngeal dysphagia.

Model Of Practice

Oral nutritional supplements may be prescribed for the management of disease-related malnutrition, but there is a large variety of nutritionally differing products available. ONS prescribing in primary care is an area of uncertainty for GPs and prescribing of ONS on the NHS in England and Wales in 2018/2019 was over £150000000. Clinically appropriate prescribing of oral nutritional supplements is supported by the use of validated malnutrition screening tools to assess the patient's risk of malnutrition. Local prescribing formularies promote the use of cost-effective oral nutritional supplements products in primary care which are often not available for use in secondary care. A new medicines management model of practice which uses pharmacy technicians, with clinical support from a dietitian, to address inappropriate oral nutritional supplements prescribing in primary care is described here. The model maximises the skills within the medicines management team and promotes a food first, aging-well approach to managing malnutrition in primary care.

Large trials assessing oral nutritional supplements (ONS) and dietary advice (DA) in primary care are lacking. This study examined effects of ONS + DA versus DA on intake, weight, QoL, healthcare use and satisfaction in malnourished free-living older people. Three hundred and eight people (71.5 ± 10.7y) were randomised to receive ONS + DA (n154) or DA (n154) for 12 weeks. At baseline, 4, 8, 12 weeks, intake, weight, QoL, healthcare use and satisfaction were measured. ONS + DA group (mean daily intake ONS 480 kcal; 21 g protein; 80% compliance) had significantly greater total energy and protein intakes (+401 kcal/d, p < 0.001; +15 g/d, p < 0.001) and weight gain (+0.8 kg; p < 0.001) compared to DA. QoL improved in both groups over time with a significant improvement in index with ONS + DA (p = 0.009). Significantly more participants found ONS + DA made a difference for them (p = 0.011), but no differences were found between groups using Euroqol. Compared to DA, healthcare use reduced with ONS + DA, (HCP visits by 34%, emergency admissions 50%, LOS 62%). Acceptability of both interventions was high (ONS 96%, DA 95%), with significantly more participants satisfied with ONS (89%) than DA (73%) (p = 0.009). This trial in primary care indicates that ONS are acceptable, make a difference to patients, significantly improve intake and weight, and reduce health care use with potential savings.

And Function

Disease-related malnutrition is usually caused by the joint action of the underlying disease itself and dietary deficiency. The consequences of malnutrition, if left untreated, are serious, causing a marked decline in physical and psychological health and function, and an increased rate of complications and decreased effectiveness of the medical treatments. In case a functional gastrointestinal tract is present, the recommended form of nutritional management is the use of oral nutritional supplements. However, just like to any other therapy, compliance to oral nutritional supplements is highly influenced by the consistency, taste, smell, volume consumed, and side effects. The aim of the present case report is to illustrate that nutritional management is a successful and effective treatment option of disease-related malnutrition when the selection of the oral nutritional supplement takes into consideration patient’s preferences as well.
