Summary

In Denmark the dieticians can be organized centrally and called upon if needed, or locally in larger units, or very locally related to bed-units. The organization form is based on tradition not on measurements of quality. We wanted to compare the very local form with the traditional centralized.

Methods: Randomized, unblinded, parallel design. The intervention group (IT) was nutritionally handled by the dietician, and the control group (C) by the nurses as previously with the possibility for dietetic help from the center.
