About this study

Official title: The Efficacy of High Density Formula1.5 kcal/ml or 1 kcal/ml On Catch Up Growth In Growth Faltering Children With Feeding Difficulties

High density calorie is an Oral Nutrition Supplement (ONS) which is a high calorie formula (High Density Formula) and suggested as nutritional therapy to assist children who are undernourished or undergoing growth faltering. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the Indonesian Ministry of Health have established regulations governing the use of ONS for children suffering from undernutrition, whether or not an infection is present. ONS available on the Indonesian market provides an energy density of between 1-1.5 kcal/ml.

This study has the potential to clarify the advantages of ONS administration and evaluate its efficacy in comparison to nutritional therapy (1 kcal/ml or 1.5 kcal/ml) to facilitate rapid catch-up growth by examining the rate of increase in body weight, body lenght and undernourished children, particularly when infection is present.

Purposes:

  1. Analyze the effect of the 1.5 kcal/ml high dense formula (ONS) on the average weight gain in undernourished children accompanied by infections
  2. Analyze the effect of the 1.5 kcal/ml calorie dense formula (ONS) on the average increase in PB in undernourished children accompanied by infections
  3. Analyze the effect of the 1 kcal/ml calorie dense formula (ONS) on the average weight gain in undernourished children accompanied by infections
  4. Analyze the effect of 1 kcal/ml calorie dense formula (ONS) on the average increase in PB in undernourished children accompanied by infections
  5. Analyze the effect of the 1.5 kcal/ml calorie dense formula (ONS) on changes in nutritional status in undernourished children accompanied by infections
Read the detailed description

This research is a retrospective observational study using medical record data from the EMR Husada Utama Hospital. Based on the EMR, data will be taken on patients who are able to consume 300-400 kcal of solid food, given 400 cc ONS 1.5 kkal/ml (Nutrini drink) equivalent to 600 kcal as group 1. Patients who are able to consume 500-600 kcal solid food are given 1 kkal/ml 400 cc ONS (SGM optigrow) equivalent 400 kcal as group 2. The rate of increase body weight and body height will be measured at day 0, 30 , 60 and 90 after consumed high dense formula, then it will be plotted in WHO Growth Chart to show the enhancement of nutrition status.

The statistical analysis including test of normality and homogeneity test, followed by paired sample T-test or Wilcoxon, depend on the normality and homogeneity test.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Body Weight

    Body weight will be measured using Tanita RD 953-BK digital scale (presenting in mean +/- SD, in kg). The subjects were asked to step at the scale in an upright state. The body weight appears on the screen and is then noted in the data collection sheet. The subject must use light clothes without accessories or footwear

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Body Height

    Body height will be measured using Seca 213 stadiometer. The subjects were asked to step at the stadiometer base in an upright state, with the heel, the buttock, and the shoulder blade touching the scale pool. The chin up, look straight ahead. The head slider was lowered until it touches the cranium. Noted the body height in the data collection sheet (presenting in mean +/- SD, in cm). The subject must use light clothes without accessories or footwear, such as hats or hair ponytail.

    Measured: 3 months

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Body Weight (time frame: 3 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06160765, which also lists 10 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Jul 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
