- Nut consumption for the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 25-Sep-2015
Nuts contain a number of nutritional attributes which may be cardioprotective. A number of epidemiological studies have shown that nut consumption may have a beneficial effect on people who have cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors. However, results
- Nutrient-enriched formula milk versus human breast milk for preterm infants following hospital discharge
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Sep-2008
Preterm infants are often growth-restricted at hospital discharge. Feeding infants after hospital discharge with nutrient-enriched formula milk instead of human breast milk might facilitate "catch-up" growth and improve development.
- Nutrient-enriched formula versus standard term formula for preterm infants following hospital discharge
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 13-Feb-2012
Preterm infants are often growth-restricted at hospital discharge. Feeding infants after hospital discharge with nutrient-enriched formula rather than standard term formula might facilitate "catch-up" growth and improve development.
- Nutrition support for bone marrow transplant patients
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 13-May-2014
This is an update of the original Cochrane review published in Issue 2, 2002. Bone marrow transplantation involves administration of toxic chemotherapy and infusion of marrow cells. After treatment, patients can develop poor appetite, mucositis and gastro
- Nutritional advice for improving outcomes in multiple pregnancies
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Nov-2015
Multiple pregnancies are associated with higher rates of perinatal mortality and morbidity than singleton pregnancies, mainly due to an increased risk of preterm birth. Because fetal outcome is best at a particular range of maternal weight gain, it has be
- Nutritional advice in pregnancy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 28-Oct-2008
Background pending.
- Nutritional interventions for liver-transplanted patients
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-Jul-2012
Malnutrition is a common problem for patients waiting for orthotopic liver transplantation and a risk factor for post-transplant morbidity. The decision to initiate enteral or parenteral nutrition, to which patients and at which time, is still debated. Th
- Nutritional interventions for preventing and treating pressure ulcers
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Jun-2014
Pressure ulcers affect approximately 10% of people in hospitals and older people are at highest risk. A correlation between inadequate nutritional intake and the development of pressure ulcers has been suggested by several studies, but the results have be
- Nutritional interventions for reducing gastrointestinal toxicity in adults undergoing radical pelvic radiotherapy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Nov-2013
Across the developed world, an estimated 150,000 to 300,000 people are treated annually with pelvic radiotherapy and 80% will develop gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms during treatment. Acute GI symptoms are associated with a greater risk of chronic, often d
- Nutritional interventions for reducing morbidity and mortality in people with HIV
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 27-Feb-2013
Adequate nutrition is important for optimal immune and metabolic function. Dietary support may, therefore, improve clinical outcomes in HIV-infected individuals by reducing the incidence of HIV-associated complications and attenuating progression of HIV d
- Nutritional interventions for treating foot ulcers in people with diabetes
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Jul-2020
Foot ulcers in people with diabetes are non-healing, or poorly healing, partial, or full-thickness wounds below the ankle. These ulcers are common, expensive to manage and cause significant morbidity and mortality. The presence of a wound has an impact on
- Nutritional screening for improving professional practice for patient outcomes in hospital and primary care settings
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Jun-2013
Given the prevalence of under-nutrition and reports of inadequate nutritional management of patients in hospitals and the community, nutritional screening may play a role in reducing the risks of malnutrition. Screening programmes can invoke costs to heal
- Nutritional supplementation for hip fracture aftercare in older people
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Nov-2009
Older people with hip fractures are often malnourished at the time of fracture, and have poor food intake subsequently.
- Nutritional supplementation for stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-Nov-2012
Individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and low body weight have impaired pulmonary status, reduced diaphragmatic mass, lower exercise capacity and higher mortality than those who are adequately nourished. Nutritional support may be
- Nutritional supplements for patients being treated for active visceral leishmaniasis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Mar-2018
Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a disease caused by a parasite, which can lead to death if untreated. Poor nutritional status hastens the progression of VL infection, and VL worsens malnutrition status. Malnutrition is one of the poor prognostic factors id
- Nutritional supplements for people being treated for active tuberculosis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 4-Oct-2011
Tuberculosis and malnutrition are linked in a complex relationship. The infection may cause undernutrition through increased metabolic demands and decreased intake, and nutritional deficiencies may worsen the disease, or delay recovery by depressing impor
- Nutritional support for acute kidney injury
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Jul-2012
Treatment for acute kidney Injury (AKI) primarily relies on treating the underlying cause and maintaining the patient until kidney function has recovered. Enteral and parenteral nutrition are commonly used to treat nutritional disorders in AKI patients, h
- Nutritional support for critically ill children
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Feb-2009
Nutritional support in the critically ill child has not been well investigated and is a controversial topic within paediatric intensive care. There are no clear guidelines as to the best form or timing of nutrition in critically ill infants and children.
- Nutritional support for head-injured patients
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Aug-2008
Head injury increases the body's metabolic responses, and therefore nutritional demands. Provision of an adequate supply of nutrients is associated with improved outcome. The best route for administering nutrition (parenterally (TPN) or enterally (EN)), a
- Nutritional support for liver disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Apr-2012
Weight loss and muscle wasting are commonly found in patients with end-stage liver disease. Since there is an association between malnutrition and poor clinical outcome, such patients (or those at risk of becoming malnourished) are often given parenteral
