A study by Gosney (2003) aimed to identify the number of prescriptions and consumption of nutritional supplements (sip feeds) over a 24-hour period on an elderly care ward. This included the measurement and collection of anthropometric and biochemical data of patients who did and did not receive sip feeds in order to compare the indication for their use and calculate the cost of wasted feed.
