Refeeding syndrome

1. Assertive enteral nutrition refeeding protocol showed no clear effect on refeeding syndrome in humans (malnourished hospital patients at risk of refeeding syndrome) (17.1% vs 9.3%, p = 0.29).

   “Serum phosphate < 0.65 mmol/L was seen in 17.1% in the intervention group and 9.3% in the control group, p = 0.29.”
