Nutrition in MND
• What do we know?
• What affects nutritional intake?
• What can help?
• What resources can we use?
• What we changed locally
• Case studies

What do we know?
• People present and get diagnosed at different stages
• 16-55% of people with MND are malnourished
• Nutritional status is a predictor of survival in MND
• Causes & consequences of malnutrition are multi-factorial
• Nutritional intervention isn’t always wanted (complex decision making)
• Progression of symptoms varies between patients
• Alternative feeding methods aren’t always possible
• Management of nutritional status throughout disease progression is important to enhancing the quality of life

When oral intake isn’t enough….
What we did well…
• Artificial nutrition discussions – early but individual to patient needs
What we didn’t do so well…
• Managing patient expectations
• Fully assessing all risk factors could affect tube placement (gastrostomy)

Summary
• Malnutrition is common • Management of nutrition requires a continual
assessment throughout the duration of the disease • MDT working is essential • Reflect and review local pathways/processes to
improve quality of patient experience & care
![Page 31: Managing Nutrition in the Community - · PDF file• Alternative feeding methods aren’t always possible ... checklist - Various settings Aim ... •Arrange community nurse visit](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030506/5ab4f74b7f8b9a6e1c8c5271/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Food is an emotive part of our lives, bringing us comfort and pleasure. It’s one of the ways that we show how we
care for one another
Being nourished is not just about calories – for most of us, the enjoyment of food and flavour is incredibly important
to quality of life.
Knowing and understanding the importance of this for each patient will help us to offer the most appropriate
support with decisions about nutritional care
