Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

The goal of this stepped wedge cluster randomized trial is to compare nutritional care after discharge to an intervention in children term born - 18 years old discharged with newly initiated nutritional care. The main question it aims to answer is: To investigate whether a tailored nutritional care follow-up program in children who are being discharged from the hospital with nutritional support improves nutritional intake and status as well as feeding behavior and quality of life (QoL) in children and their parents. Furthermore, the effect on parental stress, anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress (PTSD) as well as QoL will be assessed with and without a tailored nutritional care follow-up program
