Official title

Nutrition Strategies and Malnutrition Assessment Management Systems for Preventing Malnutrition in Children With Solid Tumors: an Exploratory Intervention Study

Overview

The purpose of this study is to establish a standardized nutrition intervention procedure for children with solid tumors, and to explore the effectiveness and clinical applicability of standardized nutrition management and short peptide-based enteral nutrition intervention for improving the nutritional status of children with malignant solid tumors. After admission, patients in the intervention group will receive standardized nutrition management provided by a nutrition support team composed of dietitians, nutritionists, clinicians, and nursing teams. Basic information, including diet, enteral and parenteral nutrition, nutritional status and clinical data, will be collected during the study.

Interventions

  • Dietary supplement Standardized nutritional management
    The children will follow the five-step treatment principle of malnutrition. Diet + nutrition education is the basic way, which is successively promoted to diet + oral nutrition supplement, enteral nutrition, partial enteral nutrition + supplementary parenteral nutrition, and total parenteral nutrition. When a nutritional treatment does not meet 60% of the target energy requirements for 3 to 5 days, the upper step of the treatment can be selected. For infants or newborns, when 75-80% of the targe
  • Dietary supplement Standardized nutritional management + short peptide ONS
    During the study period, an additional 3 months of short peptide ONS enteral nutrition intervention is expected to be performed in children enrolled from Dec 1, 2024 to Feb 28, 2025 to explore the improvement of the nutritional status of the children. Short peptide type ONS 30ml/(kg.d) will be taken orally for children under 3 years old, and 20ml/(kg.d) for children over 3 years old. Due to conditional restrictions, standardized nutritional management + short peptide ONS intervention is only car
