    Study Notes

    Evidences Supporting Specialized Enteral Nutritional Formulas

    • Preoperative nutritional support may lead to better perioperative outcomes.
    • Carbohydrate-rich drinks, electrolyte solutions, dietary education, and counseling with or without low-nutrient supplements may be considered.
    • Postoperative early enteral feeding should be delivered with specialized formulas, including those low in carbohydrate and high in fat, with fibers and protein, enriched with other special prebiotics, probiotics, glutamine, arginine, EPA, and DHA.

    Clinical Studies and Trials

    • The increase in age-related changes and sarcopenia in the elderly increases the need for nutrients such as proteins, vitamins, and minerals in the diet.
    • There is an increase in the need for vitamin D, which is an important factor in the etiology of muscle weakness and falls.
    • The food and nutritional status knowledge and practices of the elderly are not generally sufficient.
    • Diets commonly used by the elderly are not suitable for meeting their nutrition needs, with excessive fat and inadequate protein energy, vitamin, and mineral content.
    • Enteral formula options, which are nutritionally characterized by calorie-dense, rich in protein and micronutrients, and designed for existing clinical conditions, have increased.

    Metabolic and Physiologic Effects

    • Nutritional support can change metabolism and enhance rehabilitation.
    • Nutrient-dense food is crucial for pre-frail patients with long-term hospitalization.
    • Early enteral nutrition with low fermentable enteral nutrition can improve outcomes during hospitalization.

    Geriatric Patients

    • Dietary insufficiency is associated with prolonged hospital stay, higher costs, and poorer outcomes in elderly patients.
    • Protein-calorie malnutrition is common in the elderly, but many are unaware of it.
    • Decreased physical activity and muscle mass loss start after the age of 50 and accelerate especially after the age of 70.
    • Loss of muscle mass, sarcopenia, can affect balance and increase the risk of falls.
    • Sarcopenia is associated with an increase in morbidity, premature mortality, loss of independence, increased long-term dependency, decreased quality of life, and increased hospital admissions.

    Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses

    • No systematic reviews of high protein, low carbohydrate breast milk formulations or those of formula with mixed high protein and plant fat were located.
    • The current guidelines for consideration of the value of high protein, low carbohydrate, and high protein enteral feeds for preterm or critically ill infants generally have utilized traditional systematic review techniques.
    • A systematic review with meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials compared the effects of high protein and normal protein feeds in preterm and low birth weight infants, demonstrating no significant differences in growth outcomes.
