NCT04549038

Brief Summary

Circadian cycles, metabolism, and nutrition are intimately linked, and the timing of meals play an important role in synchronizing peripheral circadian rhythms. There are little data describing the influence of nocturnal feeds on sleep, metabolism, and overall health in hospitalized children. To evaluate this association, the investigators will conduct a single-center, randomized, non-blinded controlled trial that will test the impact of nocturnal enteral/parenteral nutrition on patient outcomes.

Study Arms (2)

Cases

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients randomized to the cases group will receive their nutrition over a period of 12-16 hours, with minimum 8 hours of fasting and maximum 12 hours of fasting. All patients will receive 100% of their daily nutrition.

Other: 12-16 hour nutrition

Controls

NO INTERVENTION

Patients randomized to the control group will receive the current standard of care (24-hour continuous nutrition). All patients will receive 100% of their daily nutrition.

Interventions

Cases will receive their nutrition over a period of 12-16 hours, with minimum 8 hours of fasting and maximum 12 hours of fasting. Feeding will begin in morning hours unless otherwise directed by an investigator or registered dietician.
