Tackling 30-day Readmissions in Patients With Cirrhosis: The SALTYFOOD Trial

Authors

Registry of Trialsclinicaltrials.gov
Year 2018
The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of a home meal delivery program for patients with cirrhosis and ascites and to determine the effectiveness of a salt-restricted (2 gram sodium) meal delivery program in reducing the need for therapeutic paracenteses and/or all-cause re-admissions for these patients. Many patients with cirrhosis don\'t have enough nutrients in the body and are frail and these meals may help them maintain a good diet and lead to improved quality of life.
