patients was re-audited 6 months after the introduction of the late evening snack round to evaluate its impact. Carbohydrate content of food and drink were analysed using manufacturer's labels or a carbohydrate database [5]. The audit included 26 participant contacts pre and post-snack round. After introducing a late evening snack round the number of participants consuming 50g of carbohydrate increased, however, 50% still did not achieve this target. The mean total carbohydrate intake more than doubled and the number of participants consuming carbohydrate increased from 50 to 96%. The number of participants taking oral nutritional supplements increased, which contributed to total carbohydrate intake but did not significantly alter the number of participant consuming carbohydrate.
scite is a Brooklyn-based startup that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
