Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Susan Trang"
- Susan Trang’s research primarily focuses on the cost-effectiveness and nutritional implications of feeding practices for vulnerable populations, particularly infants with very low birth weight and their hospital care costs associated with different types of milk fortifiers.
- Recent findings indicate that human milk-based fortifiers (HMBF) may lead to higher tertiary neonatal costs compared to bovine milk-based fortifiers (BMBF), which necessitates deeper evaluation of economic and health outcomes for infants born under critical weight thresholds.
- Additionally, Trang has contributed to assessing the nutritional quality of hospital meals, revealing critical insights into food industry efforts to reduce sodium in packaged foods, emphasizing the importance of nutrition in patient care and public health strategies.
