Official scientific title |
TBscore (and suPAR) used to PREDict and INtervene Against high Mortality (PREDINAM) - a randomised trial |
Brief summary describing the background
and objectives of the trial
|
It is hypothesised that food supplementation for pulmonary TB will lower mortality although
the evidence hitherto is inconclusive. Thus further, well powered studies are needed to collect
evidence that food supplementation is beneficial for patients suspected of having TB.
We aim to identify the prevalence of malnutrition in pulmonary TB suspects, pulmonary TB patients,
and healthy controls and to evaluate the use of a standardized nutritional support to lower mortality
in PTB suspects. |
