Hospitalized, malnourished older adults have a high risk of readmission and mortality.
Evaluation of a high-protein oral nutritional supplement (HP-HMB) containing beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate on postdischarge outcomes of nonelective readmission and mortality in malnourished, hospitalized older adults.
Multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial.
Inpatient and posthospital discharge.
Older (≥65 years), malnourished (Subjective Global Assessment [SGA] class B or C) adults hospitalized for congestive heart failure, acute myocardial infarction, pneumonia, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Standard-of-care plus HP-HMB (n = 328) or a placebo supplement (n = 324), 2 servings/day.
Primary composite endpoint was 90-day postdischarge incidence of death or nonelective readmission. Other endpoints included 30- and 60-day postdischarge incidence of death or readmission, length of stay (LOS), SGA class, body weight, and activities of daily living (ADL).
The primary composite endpoint was similar between HP-HMB (26.8%) and placebo (31.1%). No between-group differences were observed for 90-day readmission rate, but 90-day mortality was significantly lower with HP-HMB relative to placebo (4.8% vs. 9.7%; relative risk 0.49, 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.27 to 0.90; p = 0.018). The number-needed-to-treat to prevent 1 death was 20.3 (95% CI: 10.9, 121.4). Compared with placebo, HP-HMB resulted in improved odds of better nutritional status (SGA class, OR, 2.04, 95% CI: 1.28, 3.25, p = 0.009) at day 90, and an increase in body weight at day 30 (p = 0.035). LOS and ADL were similar between treatments.
Limited generalizability; patients represent a selected hospitalized population.
Although no effects were observed for the primary composite endpoint, compared with placebo HP-HMB decreased mortality and improved indices of nutritional status during the 90-day observation period.
住院的营养不良老年人再入院和死亡风险很高。
评估一种含β-羟基-β-甲基丁酸的高蛋白口服营养补充剂(HP-HMB)对营养不良的住院老年人出院后非选择性再入院和死亡结局的影响。
多中心、随机、安慰剂对照、双盲试验。
住院期间及出院后。
年龄≥65岁、营养不良(主观全面评定法[SGA]为B级或C级)、因充血性心力衰竭、急性心肌梗死、肺炎或慢性阻塞性肺疾病住院的成年人。
标准治疗加HP-HMB(n = 328)或安慰剂补充剂(n = 324),每日2份。
主要复合终点为出院后90天内死亡或非选择性再入院的发生率。其他终点包括出院后30天和60天内死亡或再入院的发生率、住院时间(LOS)、SGA分级、体重和日常生活活动能力(ADL)。
HP-HMB组(26.8%)和安慰剂组(31.1%)的主要复合终点相似。90天再入院率在组间未观察到差异,但HP-HMB组90天死亡率相对于安慰剂组显著降低(4.8%对9.7%;相对风险0.49,95%置信区间[CI],0.27至0.90;p = 0.018)。预防1例死亡所需治疗人数为20.3(95%CI:10.9,121.4)。与安慰剂相比,HP-HMB在第90天时改善营养状况更好的几率(SGA分级,优势比[OR],2.04,95%CI:1.28,3.25,p = 0.009),并在第30天时使体重增加(p = 0.035)。治疗组间LOS和ADL相似。
普遍性有限;患者代表特定的住院人群。
虽然主要复合终点未观察到效果,但与安慰剂相比,HP-HMB在90天观察期内降低了死亡率并改善了营养状况指标。
