Official title
THE COMPARATIVE EFFECTIVENESS OF 7 VERSUS 21 HOME-DELIVERED MEDICALLY TAILORED MEALS TO IMPROVE MALNUTRITION RISK IN MALNOURISHED PATIENTS WITH HEART FAILURE: A RANDOM ORDER CROSSOVER FEEDING TRIAL (MEDIMEALS)
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This protocol is designed to compare the effectiveness of two dietary intervention doses for patients with heart failure (HF) and malnutrition risk or malnutrition at hospital discharge. This random order crossover design will provide evidence as to whether the provision of dinner meals alone versus all 3 daily meals to patients' homes is more effective at improving malnutrition risk score, and secondarily unplanned emergency department visits and readmissions.
