Nutrition Strategies and Malnutrition Assessment Management Systems for Preventing Malnutrition in Children With Solid Tumors: an Exploratory Intervention Study

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Dietary supplement
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

The purpose of this study is to establish a standardized nutrition intervention procedure for children with solid tumors, and to explore the effectiveness and clinical applicability of standardized nutrition management and short peptide-based enteral nutrition intervention for improving the nutritional status of children with malignant solid tumors. After admission, patients in the intervention group will receive standardized nutrition management provided by a nutrition support team composed of dietitians, nutritionists, clinicians, and nursing teams. Basic information, including diet, enteral and parenteral nutrition, nutritional status and clinical data, will be collected during the study.

Treatments
Experimental: Standardized nutrition management(+ short peptide ONS) Group
The children in this group will be given standardized nutrition management after admission. They will follow the five-step treatment principle of malnutrition. Diet + nutrition education is the basic way, which is successively promoted to diet + oral nutrition supplement, enteral nutrition, partial enteral nutrition + supplementary parenteral nutrition, and total parenteral nutrition. When a nutritional treatment does not meet 60% of the target energy requirements for 3 to 5 days, the upper step of the treatment can be selected. For infants or newborns, when 75-80% of the target amount cannot be reached for 3-5 days, the upper step of the treatment can be selected.~During the study period, an additional 3 months of short peptide oral nutritional supplements (ONS) is expected to be performed in children enrolled from December 1, 2024 to February 28, 2025 to explore the improvement of the nutritional status of the children.
No_intervention: Control group
Clinical variables, biochemical markers, dietary data, and physical activity data will be collected at baseline and at each visit (admission to hospital, 1, 2, 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months after diagnosis).
