Does nutritional education affect the nutritional status, growth, and development of children with pectus excavatum?
This study showed that nutritional education can improve the nutritional status of patients with moderate PE as it leads to an increase in anthropometric measurements and food/nutrient intake. Therefore, it would be beneficial to refer patients to a dietician to implement longer-term and improved educational models.
