Nutritional treatment

OTHER

All patients received an individualized diet plan and balanced. The diet was calculated according to the nutritional status and the protein 15-20% of total energy value, lipids 25-30% of daily energy intake and carbohydrate 50-60% of of total energy value

Behavioral: Diet
