Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
In this study, we aim to reduce the burden of malnutrition in cancer patients by implementing and evaluating an improved nutritional support, using digital communication and registration tools during the clinical pathway. The project targets a group of patients with a high frequency of malnutrition, due to cancer and the subsequent therapy, where knowledge on the efficient and cost-effective treatment is scarce. The effect of the improved nutrition support will be evaluated in a randomised controlled trial, and the primary endpoint is the prevalence of malnutrition. The long-term goal is to benefit the patients by increasing the completion rate of cancer treatment, reducing the infection rate, need for antibiotics, the total length of hospital stays and number of non-elective re-admissions, and thus increasing the patients' quality of life and survival. The project will be patient-orientated and result in a sustainable approach for the management of malnutrition.
