Background
Chronic heart failure (CHF) can greatly reduce a patient’s quality of life and is costly for healthcare systems. This study looked at how personalized nutritional support from a specialized nursing team can help elderly patients with CHF.
Study Overview
The study involved 102 elderly patients with CHF who were hospitalized. They were divided into two groups of 51. One group received regular nursing care, while the other received personalized nutritional support.
Results
Both groups showed improvements in nutritional markers like albumin, hemoglobin, and protein levels, but the group with personalized support had better results. Additionally, both groups improved in heart function, but again, the experimental group showed greater improvements.
Key Findings
- Improved nutrition markers in the experimental group.
- Better heart function, with more significant improvements in the experimental group.
- Lower levels of inflammatory markers in the experimental group.
- Higher quality of life and nursing satisfaction reported by the experimental group.
Conclusion
Providing individualized nutritional support to elderly patients with CHF led to better nutrition, improved heart function, reduced inflammation, and enhanced quality of life compared to standard care.
Opportunities for Clinics and Patients
Based on these findings, clinics can:
- Set clear goals for improving patient nutrition and heart function.
- Use AI tools tailored to enhance nutritional support and monitor patient outcomes.
- Start pilot projects to test the effectiveness of personalized nutritional support.
