Since Feb. of 2022, patients with inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) suffered medical formula shortages due to an abrupt shut down of a major formula company in the US. To date, there has been no study of the shortage’s impact on patients who are dependent on metabolic formulas. The goal of this project was to understand the nutritional and psychosocial impacts on patients with IEM and changes in patient-dietitian relations as a result of the unexpected formula shortage.
