Individualized nutrition not only improves the supply of calories and proteins to hospital patients, but also the clinical outcomes of treatment. This is shown by a study under the direction of DKF research group leader Prof. Philipp Schütz (General Internal and Emergency Medicine/KSA), in which the benefits of nutritional support were tested with 2000 patients in eight Swiss hospitals.
