When comparing the biochemical changes of the control group(n=8) with those of the case group(n=8), it showed significant differences in total protein, serum albumin and TLC(p0.05).CONCLUSION:
This study suggests the in tube-fed elderly patients can be improved if nutritional support is properly administrated.
