Summary

The goal of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a hypercaloric, hyperproteic enteral formula enriched with immunonutrients in preventing and treating pressure injuries in hospitalized malnourished patients. Participants will take enteral formula (a complete hyperproteic and hypercaloric oral nutritional supplement with a fibre mixture enriched in omega 3, L-arginine and nucleotides, providing vitamin C and Zinc) or a hyperproteic and hypercaloric oral nutritional supplement with fibre mixture every day for 30 days.
