NCT07234669

Brief Summary

The study investigates whether clinical dietitians at a hospital ward can improve patients' dietary intake during hospitalisation, and whether it can prevent patients from being admitted efter discharge and improve their prognosis. Dietary intake will be measured daily and readmittance within 30 days from discharge will be registered. Questionnaires will be used to assess patients' satisfaction with nutritional care during hospitalisation.
