Although nutritional demands in TBI patients are high, intake is often poorly documented. This randomized clinical pilot study compared nutrient intake between a standard hospital diet and a calorie-dense, high-protein finger food diet in six TBI patients initiating oral feeding. Results showed participants consumed only about half of estimated nutritional needs, with no significant differences between diets, though dinnertime intake was lower on the standard diet. Findings inform strategies to optimize nutrition therapy in TBI rehabilitation. 000000701 540__ $$fCC BY 000000701 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000000701 650__ $$aFeeding Behavior$$018929 000000701 650__ $$aBrain Injuries$$015797 000000701 650__ $$aNutrition Therapy$$035502 000000701 650__ $$aHospitalization$$020335 000000701 650__ $$aMalnutrition$$035450 000000701 650__ $$aPilot Projects$$024161 000000701 650__ $$aNutrition Therapy$$035502 000000701 650__ $$aBrain Injuries, Traumatic$$011616 000000701 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000000701 692__ $$aDepartment of Dietetics and Nutrition$$041408 000000701 7001_ $$aBailey, Natalia$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000000701 8564_ $$90b47bdc8-5694-4af9-8eb3-2771b93b432f$$s2109220$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/701/files/702_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$2c28ec7885c39fd96924d29cef7533330$$31 000000701 901__ $$a<p>These documents are archival records.
