Study Notes

Cost Effectiveness of Specialized Enteral Nutritional Formulas

Enteral nutrition (EN) aims to enhance the body's physiological capabilities of digestion, absorption, metabolism, and repair.
EN products can be categorized into four categories: intact/modeled formula, elemental formula, disease-specific formula, and immune-modulating formula.
High fat, low carb, high protein specialized enteral nutritional formulas (HF-LC-HP SENF) are helpful for patients with different diseases.
HF-LC-HP SENF can increase the ratio of total cholesterol (TC) and/or low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)/triglyceride (TG), and albumin levels, while reducing the levels of hemoglobin A1c, fasting blood glucose, TG, alanine transaminase, aspartate transaminase, and total protein levels.
These specialized feeding strategies may also enhance nutrient absorption, decrease inflammatory responses, and induce mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) recruitment.

Economic Evaluations and Models

Economic evaluation models can help manage medical care risks.
Both decision tree and Markov models provide informative clinical, economic, and resource allocation data.
Decision tree and Markov models can help in the decision-making process.
The major advantages and disadvantages of both types of models were addressed within this study.
Their structural superiority compared to other models was evident.
Economic evaluations are increasingly being conducted in the nutrition field.
Enteral nutrition's cost-effectiveness and evidence of outcomes need to be better addressed due to high heterogeneity in critically ill patients, causing increased healthcare costs.
