** According to ESPEN guidelines, the additional use of ONS is advised when an enriched diet is not effective in reaching nutritional goals. Medical nutrition is indicated if patients are unable to eat adequately (e.g. less than 50% of the requirement for more than one week or only 50–75% of the requirement for more than two weeks).
