However, it is worth noting that: In FWB, the proportion of improvement in IG (29%) was higher than in CG (8%), with results approaching significance ( p = 0.05, OR = 4.79, 95% CI: 0.95–24.27, φ = 0.22).

In a systematic review and meta-analysis, ONS significantly increased body weight and improved nutritional status, while its effect on global QoL was borderline significant (MD +4.01, 95% CI: 0.08–7.94; p = 0.05).
In ACS, deterioration was less frequent in IG (3%) compared with CG (20%), also reaching borderline significance ( p = 0.07, OR = 0.12, 95% CI: 0.01–1.11, φ = 0.22).
However, GS4 and GS5 (family acceptance of illness and communication about the disease) showed p -values close to statistical significance ( p = 0.09 and p = 0.06, respectively), suggesting a possible trend toward improvement in these domains.
These findings suggest that, despite an overall trend toward improvement, some patients experienced deterioration in selected QoL domains, highlighting the importance of individualized therapeutic support.
Although this change did not reach statistical significance, it may indicate a trend toward improved subjective QoL during the intervention.
Near-significant trends in GS4 and GS5 (acceptance and communication within family) may reflect gradual increases in perceived social support.
