TL;DR: Although the underlying mechanisms are still unknown and any cause-effect relation cannot be inferred, clinicians should be aware of the potential negative impact of high vitamin B12 concentrations in hospitalized patients at nutritional risk and avoid inappropriate vitamin supplementation.

TL;DR: Although the level of dependence appears to be an important determinant, heterogeneity in individual study results remained substantially unexplained and the cause-effect relationship between nutritional status andlevel of dependence deserves further investigation.

TL;DR: In HNC patients undergoing RT or RT plus systemic treatment, and receiving nutritional counseling, the use of ONS resulted in better weight maintenance, increased protein-calorie intake, improved quality of life and was associated with better anti-cancer treatment tolerance.

TL;DR: In malnourished advanced cancer patients undergoing CT, receiving nutritional counseling, a 3‐month supplementation with WPI resulted in improved body composition, muscle strength, body weight, and reduced CT toxicity.

TL;DR: Nutritional risk assessed by the GNRI on admission, predicts LOS and in-hospital WL in elderly patients.
