" 04/01/1999 - "The provision of nutritional support supplemented with key nutrients to patients with critical illness resulted in a decrease in infectious complications when compared with patients receiving standard nutritional support and a significant reduction in overall hospital stay.

"
3.	Malnutrition (Nutritional Deficiencies) 11/01/1986 - "Nutritional assessment has three main aims: to define the type and severity of malnutrition; to identify high risk patients; to monitor the efficacy of nutritional support. " 01/01/2019 - "Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is an effective and safe method for nutritional support in patients with malnutrition and impossibility of oral intake with an estimated survival higher than the months that require enteral nutrition beyond four weeks. " 04/03/2018 - "The use of ONS is particularly cost-effective in certain subgroups of age (frail elderly), nutritional status (previous malnutrition) and underlying disease (hip fracture, abdominal surgery, etc.).On the other hand, there are additional difficulties to evaluate the effect of nutritional support in different healthcare settings (community, nursing home, hospital) since the economic burden in one environment often has an impact on another (for example: hospital readmissions). " 01/01/2018 - "Given the association of 6-month nutritional support with improved anthropometrics and decreased percentage of malnourished patients, our findings indicate that increased awareness of nutritional status and nutritional support is essential for the care of neurologically impaired children with potential benefit of identifying early feeding/swallowing related signs of malnutrition." 01/01/2021 - "Presence of compromised gastrointestinal function in malnourished children is critical given that alterations such as malabsorption and increased intestinal permeability directly interfere with efficacy of nutritional support and recovery from malnutrition.

5.	Sepsis (Septicemia) 01/01/2020 - "Current guidelines (ESPEN and ASPEN) recognise a lack of clear evidence demonstrating the beneficial effect of nutritional support during sepsis, raising the question: why, given the perceived low efficacy of nutritionals support, are there no high-quality clinical trials on the efficacy of permissive underfeeding in sepsis?
