About This Trauma Study in Durham

This is a prospective, randomized, controlled trial designed to evaluate the impact of enhanced protein supplementation compared to a standard of care nutrition delivery in critically ill older adult trauma patients. Subjects will be randomized 1:1 to either enhanced nutrition or control arm. Subjects randomized to the enhanced nutrition arm will receive oral nutrition supplements (ONS) up to 3 times per day while in the hospital and for 4 weeks after discharge. Subjects in the standard of care arm will receive normal nutrition recommendations from their clinical providers. Participants in both groups will undergo non-invasive tests that measure how much energy (calories) they are using, body composition, and muscle mass.
