Medical nutrition therapy for ALS: Dietitians' approaches to diagnosing malnutrition, facilitating feeding tube discussions, and mitigating refeeding syndrome risk

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Persons living with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (PALS) are at high risk for malnutrition because of disease‐related factors such as dysphagia, self‐feeding difficulty, and hypermetabolism. Nutrition interventions, including enteral nutrition (EN) initiation after gastrostomy tube (G‐tube) placement, are integral to care but can ...
