VA Nutrition Study on Immune Function

NCT00105625 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 100

Last updated 2015-04-07

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Hospital-acquired infections can occur five times as frequently in rehabilitation patients than in other hospital admissions. We postulate that this high infection rate may be due to nutritional problems frequently experienced in these patients. In this study, we examine the role of nutrition in inpatient geriatric rehabilitation patients' immune function and infection rates.
