About this trial
Refeeding syndrome (RFS) is the a metabolic disturbance which occurs as a result of reinstitution of nutrition in people who are starved, severely malnourished, or metabolically stressed because of severe illness. When too much food or liquid nutrition supplement is eaten during the initial three to seven days following a malnutrition event, the production of glycogen, fat and protein in cells may cause low serum concentrations of potassium, magnesium and phosphate.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Children included were those (1month to 18 years) admitted at hospital with minimum of one phosphorus, potassium, and/or magnesium assay and who are severely malnourished and starved (no feeding )for at least 3 days then received exclusive or supplemental nutritional support.
Disqualifiers
Patients age less than 1month and more than 18 years' old and patients with CKD ,liver cirrhosis and endocrinal diseases.
Trial population
\- Children (1month to 18 years) admitted at hospital with minimum of one phosphorus, potassium, and/or magnesium assay and who are severely malnourished and starved (no feeding )for at least 3 days then received exclusive or supplemental nutritional support. Undernourished children (body mass index z-score \< -2 standard deviations) were considered at risk of refeeding syndrome. The ASPEN critiera were used to identify those with probable refeeding syndrome.
