Altered nutrition state in the severe multiple trauma patients undergoing adjuvant recombinant human growth hormone nutritional support therapy.

What Was Tested

This randomized controlled trial looks at Exogenous HGH, sermorelin & older GHRPs (why they're passed over).

In order to observe the nutrition state in the severe multiple trauma patients undergoing adjuvant recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) nutritional support therapy, 45 patients with severe multiple traumas (ISS>25) were randomly divided into 3 groups.

The levels of nitrogen balance, prealbumin and safety variables (blood sugar, Na+, TT3 and TT4) were observed and compared among the three groups.

Who Took Part

According to the abstract, 45 patients were involved.

By PubMed's age tags, the people studied were adults, middle-aged adults and older adults, both men and women.

How the Study Was Run

The researchers set it up as a randomized study.

Because people in this Exogenous HGH, sermorelin & older GHRPs (why they're passed over) study were split into groups at random, differences between the groups are less likely to reflect who happened to join each one.

What Was Measured

The levels of nitrogen balance, prealbumin and safety variables (blood sugar, Na+, TT3 and TT4) were observed and compared among the three groups.

Topics PubMed links to this paper include Critical Illness, Human Growth Hormone, Multiple Trauma, Nitrogen, Nutritional Status, Nutritional Support and Postoperative Period.

What This Means in Plain Language
