“Both the Training and the Coffee Afterwards Mattered a Lot”—Factors of Importance in a Complex Intervention After Acute Hospitalization: Perspectives of Older Adults With Frailty Open
Rationale Older adults with frailty often face functional decline and limitations in doing everyday activities after being discharged from acute hospital admission affecting their health and quality of life. However, engaging them in train…

Negative outcomes occur early among geriatric patients with early signs of dysphagia in an acute care setting Open
Early SD were associated with mortality after 18 mo, but readmissions were mostly pronounced within 90 d. Early dysphagia screening in older patients in general is relevant in the acute care setting as part of nursing care activities.

Muscle mass evaluation in patients with intestinal failure or insufficiency: Comparison of methods Open
The findings of this study show limited agreement between CC-corr and AMC on the study population in question, however the agreement was better when using CC without adjusting for BMI. Thus, it is dubious if CC-corr can serve as a proxy me…

The accuracy of estimating equations for total resting energy expenditure in hospitalized patients Open
HB, MSJ, and Schofield equations all underestimate energy expenditures with higher variations in patients at nutritional risk. In patients with BMI≥30, energy expenditures are overestimated. Considerations are to measure energy expenditure…

Healthcare Professionals' Perspectives on the Impact of a Multicomponent Intervention for Older People With Frailty Discharged From Hospital–A Theory‐Based Evaluation Open
Rationale Older people with frailty are at high risk of functional decline, readmissions, and other adverse health outcomes, after acute hospitalisation. Interventions should focus on strength training and nutrition, but knowledge is neede…

Implementation of nutritional care in hospitals: A qualitative study of barriers and facilitators using implementation theory Open
Background Disease‐related malnutrition is prevalent among hospitalised patients, but not all patients achieve the needed nutritional care. At a Danish University Hospital, focus has been on implementing nutritional practices based on clin…

Are nutritional sufficiency of ≥75% energy and protein requirements relevant targets in patients at nutritional risk? - A one month follow-up study Open
The results of this study indicate that an energy intake ≥75% of estimated requirement among patients at nutritional risk has a preventative effect regarding mortality within one month, but not for readmissions.
