About this study
Official title: Real World Evidence Study: Improving Nutritional Management of Neurologically Impaired Children
A retrospective study to (1) investigate clinical characteristics, nutritional status, and nutritional management in neurologically impaired children in China, (2) assess whether enteral nutrition (particularly tube feeding) contributes to improving nutritional outcomes in children with neurological impairments, (3) examine the tolerability of enteral nutrition and whether it can effectively reverse or prevent severe malnutrition.
Read the detailed description
Electronic health records of children with neurological impairments from 11 medical centers across China between 2015 and 2020 were reviewed. Data were analyzed using SPSS 22.0. Normally distributed data were presented as mean±standard deviation (SD), and non-normally distributed data were presented as median and interquartile range (IQR). Categorical data were presented as frequencies and analyzed using the chi-square test. The Wilcoxon test was used to compare data at different time points. Multivariate logistic regressions were used to analyze the factors influencing gastrointestinal symptoms.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Weight for age z-score
It indicates body weight of a children for their age and sex relative to the reference population. It is an important indicator of acute nutritional status in young children aged less than two years old.
Measured: From diagnosis to 24 months of follow-up
Height for age z-score
It indicates height of a children for their age and sex relative to the reference population. It is an important indicator of chronic nutritional status in children.
Measured: From diagnosis to 24 months of follow-up
BMI for age z-score
It indicates body mass index of a children for their age and sex relative to the reference population. It is an important indicator of acute nutritional status in children aged greater than two years old.
Measured: From diagnosis to 24 months of follow-up

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?
Weight for age z-score (time frame: From diagnosis to 24 months of follow-up). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
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 25 Sep 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
