- Disease-related undernutrition is a serious issue in European hospitals but is often overlooked, prompting the Council of Europe in 1999 to gather data on hospital nutrition programs through a network of national experts.
- The review identified five major challenges in hospital nutritional care: unclear responsibilities, insufficient education, limited patient influence and knowledge, poor cooperation among staff, and lack of management involvement.
- To address these challenges, a coordinated effort from national authorities and hospital personnel is essential for improving nutritional care and support for patients.
Article Synopsis
- Patients with liver cirrhosis and minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) may experience impaired driving capabilities, which were assessed through a controlled study using psychometric tests and on-road evaluations.
- Out of 48 evaluated patients, those with MHE scored significantly lower in driving performance compared to both cirrhotic patients without MHE and healthy controls, particularly in categories like car handling and cautiousness.
- The study indicated that 5 out of 14 patients with MHE required intervention during driving tests to prevent accidents, highlighting the potential risks associated with driving for these patients.
Disease-related undernutrition is significant in European hospitals but is seldom treated. In 1999, the Council of Europe decided to collect information regarding Nutrition programmes in hospitals and for this purpose a network consisting of national experts from 12 of the Partial Agreement member states was established. The aim was to review the current practice in Europe regarding hospital food provision, to highlight deficiencies and to issue recommendations in improve the nutritional care and support of hospitalised patients.
