Nutritional factors and pressure injury risk in hospitalised patients post-stroke.

Objective: This study aimed to analyse the nutritional factors and pressure injury (PI) risk in hospitalised patients post-stroke.

Method: The research employed a descriptive observational method in which patients ≥18 years of age were followed for six days. Nutritional evaluation was based on anthropometric and dietary factors.

Night fasting as an alternative to improve nutritional support and glycaemic control in hospitalised patients with exclusive enteral nutrition.

Background: Enteral nutrition (EN) assists in the nutritional status of hospitalised patients unable to feed orally. The aim of this study was to determine which method-continuous EN or discontinuous EN, a diet in which the infusion is discontinued for 4h during the night,-is more effective in meeting nutrient recommendations and improving glycaemic control and biochemical parameters related to protein anabolism.

Methods: Patients were divided into two groups: discontinuous (EN administered in mL/h, 18h/day, 4-h night fasting) and continuous (EN administered in mL/h, 22h/day).

Low Food Consumption Interferes with the Nutritional Status of Surgical Patients with Neoplasia of the Gastrointestinal Tract.

Unlabelled: Nutritional support strongly influence the nutritional status of the surgical neoplastic patients. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of food consumption on the perioperative nutritional status of hospitalized patients with neoplasia of the upper (UGIT) and lower (LGIT) gastrointestinal tract.

Method: Observational, longitudinal, and prospective study.

Dysphagia, Immobility, and Diet Acceptance: Main Factors Associated with Increased Risk of Pressure Injury in Patients Hospitalized after Stroke.

Objective: To determine the predisposing factors for PI in patients hospitalized after stroke.

Methods: This 7-day longitudinal study followed up with patients hospitalized after stroke. Assessments included mobility, nutrition, and the presence of dysphagia and anemia.

Association of anemia and malnutrition in hospitalized patients with exclusive enteral nutrition.

Introduction: enteral nutrition therapy maintains and/or regains the nutritional status of the common patient in hospital settings, where anemia and malnutrition are food related and are very common diseases.

Objective: to determine and associate the presence of anemia and malnutrition in hospitalized patients with exclusive enteral nutrition.

Methods: a prospective, cross-sectional study with patients receiving exclusive enteral nutrition up to 72 hours after hospitalization.
