Gastrointestinal symptoms are some complications that can occur in enteral tube-fed patients. Blended tube feeds (BTFs) for children who are gastrotomy tube-fed have significantly increased in the last decade. BTF refers to homemade food that has been liquidised for enteral tube feeds. An increasing amount of evidence suggests that children on BTF have improved feed tolerance. It is unknown whether children admitted to a hospital established on a BTF can continue a BTF due to the potential barriers such as catering processes, staffing hours (limited to syringe bolus feeding) and food safety concerns. This national cross-sectional survey aimed to explore the use of BTF in a paediatric hospital setting.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Methods</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>This was a prospective, cross-sectional, practice-based survey of registered paediatric dietitians who work in an inpatient care setting to explore the use of BTF.

Of these, 16 of 19 were specialist children's hospitals (79% response rate) and 35 of 89 were general paediatric hospitals (39% response rate). All responders were paediatric dietitians. 49 of 51 (96%) dietitians knew of the British Dietetic Association (BDA) Practice Toolkit for Blended diets. Dietitians were asked to estimate on average per month how many children were admitted on a BTF; 41% (21 of 51) of dietitians reported that on average there are one to five children admitted on a BTF. There was no significant difference in the number of children admitted on a BTF between a specialist and a general children's hospital (<i>χ</i><sup>2</sup> statistic = 4.96, <i>p</i> value < 0.08). The number of dietitians who had clinical guidelines to support children admitted on a BTF was 49% (25 of 51). Specialist children's hospitals were more likely to have a clinical guideline compared with a general hospital (χ<sup>2</sup> statistic = 6.348, <i>p</i> value = 0.01). However, only 18 of 51 (35%) dietitians reported being confident or very confident to review a child on a BTF. The most common perceived benefit was that parents/carers could incorporate family foods into their child's diet. 26% reported that a varied diet was beneficial in relation to the gut microbiome.

Psychological interventions targeting EE have been shown to reduce EE scores and weight (kg), though the mechanisms remain unclear. This review and meta-analysis aimed to identify the specific behaviour change techniques (BCTs) associated with improved outcomes.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Methods</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>This is a review update and extension, with new studies extracted from searches of CINAHL, PsycINFO, MEDLINE and EMBASE 1 January 2022 to 31 April 2023. EE interventions for adults with BMI &gt; 25 kg/m² were considered for inclusion. Paper screening, extraction, BCT-coding and risk of bias were completed using the Template for Intervention Description and Replication (TIDieR) checklist, Behaviour Change Taxonomy v1 (BCTTv1) and Risk of Bias2 (RoB2)/Risk of Bias In Non-randomised Studies (ROBINS-I) tool. Narrative syntheses and random effects multi-level meta-analyses were conducted.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Results</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>In total, 6729 participants were included across 47 studies (13 identified in the update). Forty-two studies contributed to the pooled estimate for the impact of interventions on EE (SMD = −0.99 [95% CI: −0.73 to −1.25], <i>p</i> &lt; 0.001). Thirty-two studies contributed to the pooled estimate for the impact of interventions on weight (−4.09 kg [95% CI: −2.76 to −5.43 kg], <i>p</i> &lt; 0.001). Five BCTs related to identity, values and self-regulation were associated with notable improvements to both weight and EE (‘incompatible beliefs’, ‘goal setting outcome’. ‘review outcome goals’, ‘feedback on behaviour’ and ‘pros/cons’).</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusion</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Implementation and evaluation of the highlighted BCTs are required. Weight management services should consider screening patients for EE to tailor interventions to individual needs.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":54803,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11704659/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142959105","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
