Nutrition Practices and Outcomes in Pediatric Patients

Dear Colleagues,

Over the last few decades, a growing body of evidence has demonstrated the important relationship of clinical outcomes in pediatrics with both nutritional status and nutrition therapy. The impact of nutritional status and, in particular, malnutrition on clinical outcomes in children has been the focus of clinical research in inpatient and outpatient settings throughout the world. Similarly, the impact of various aspects of nutrition therapy on clinical outcomes has been the subject of clinical investigations into inpatient and outpatient management of acute, chronic, and critical illness. These aspects of nutrition therapy include the timing of initiation, rate of nutrition advancement, both the amount and route of nutrition delivery, and the macronutrient and micronutrient components of nutrition.

This Special Issue welcomes original human or animal model research that focuses on nutritional status and/or nutrition therapy in relation to clinical outcomes in children, primarily in the inpatient setting in various clinical conditions. The materials presented will be the result of international scientific cooperation of researchers specializing in these issues. The content may be useful for pediatric practitioners and may encourage further innovative research on this topic.
