Context:

  • Prospective study in a 350-bed university hospital.

  • Exclusion of ICU patients, those with cognitive impairments, or on other forms of nutrition support.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the utilization of oral nutritional supplements.
  • To analyze the reasons for prescribing these supplements.
  • To determine the impact on patients' caloric and protein intake.

Summary:

  • 77 patients were analyzed; mean age 74.8 years, predominantly women.
  • Hematology and internal medicine departments most frequently prescribed supplements, mainly for kwashiorkor.
