Brief summary

This study was a double-blind randomized controlled trial conducted to assess the effectiveness of high protein liquid dietary supplementation in malnourished hospitalized patients. The patients were assessed for their nutritional status based on ESPEN 2015 criteria. Patients who experienced malnutrition will be divided into 2 groups, namely the control group which was given a normal protein liquid diet, while the intervention group was given high protein liquid diet supplementation as much as 2 bottles (200 mL) per day for 7-10 days. Furthermore, the nutritional status of the patient was assessed.

Interventions

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENTa hospital formula of normal protein liquid diet supplementation

group 1 (control group) who will get a hospital formula of normal protein liquid diet supplementation (40 grams per 1000 mL)

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENTa hospital formula of high protein liquid food supplementation

group 2 (intervention group) will get a hospital formula of high protein liquid food supplementation (60 grams per 1000 mL) as much as 2 bottles (each bottle contains 200 mL)
