    Area of Science:

    • Clinical Nutrition
    • Medical Informatics
    • Computational Medicine

    Background:

    • Accurate assessment of patient nutritional requirements is crucial for effective clinical management.
    • Individualized nutritional support can lead to better patient outcomes compared to standardized regimens.
    • Existing methods for calculating nutritional needs may be time-consuming or less precise.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a pocket computer program for predicting patient nutritional requirements at the bedside.
    • To assess the program's accuracy in estimating energy and nitrogen needs.
    • To evaluate the program's utility in managing patients requiring nutritional support.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a program for the Sharp PC-1500 pocket computer.
    • Bedside prediction of nutritional requirements across diverse clinical conditions.
    • Correlation analysis of predicted versus measured energy and nitrogen requirements.
    • Clinical application in the management of over 100 patients.

    Main Results:

    • The program demonstrated good correlation between predicted and measured energy and nitrogen requirements.
    • Successful application of the program in the management of more than 100 patients.
    • Facilitated individualized nutritional calculations for patient treatment.

    Conclusions:

    • The pocket computer program is a valuable tool for predicting patient nutritional needs at the bedside.
    • Individualized nutritional assessment using this program leads to more appropriate patient management.
    • The program offers potential financial benefits by optimizing nutritional support and reducing reliance on standard feeding regimens.
