Clinical Use and Application of Neutropenic Diets for Patients With Cancer: A Cross‐Sectional Survey of Dietitians in Australian Hospitals
More than half of Australian hospitals surveyed continue to prescribe an ND, with general consistency in food restrictions but variation in initiation and discontinuation practices. These findings highlight the need for institutional review of ND practices and support the development of evidence-based food safety education to better guide dietary care for patients with cancer.
