Abstract

Objective. To analyze the effect of calcium carbonate preparations on malnutrition in preschool children. Methods. A total of 100 preschool malnourished children treated in our hospital from February 2020 to February 2021 were recruited and assigned to a calcium carbonate preparation group or calcium lactate preparation group via the random number table method, with 50 cases in each group. Outcome measures included bone content, malnutrition symptom scores, nutritional indices, urine calcium, patient compliance, and treatment satisfaction. Results. After treatment, the calcium carbonate preparation group showed higher content of right heel bone and bone density versus the calcium lactate preparation group (P<0.05). After treatment, children given calcium carbonate preparation were associated with lower scores of malnutrition symptoms and higher serum calcium, ferritin, transferrin, prealbumin, and albumin levels versus those receiving calcium lactate preparation (P<0.05). Children in the calcium carbonate preparation group showed higher urine calcium levels than those in the calcium lactate preparation group after treatment (t = 17.640, 45.131, 18.168, 19.565, P<0.05). A higher compliance (96.00%) and treatment satisfaction (98.00%) of children in the calcium carbonate preparation group was observed versus those in the calcium lactate preparation group (62.00%, 66.00%) (Z = 3.521, Z = 3.447, P<0.05). Conclusion. The calcium carbonate preparations show more enrichment in the amelioration of malnutrition in preschool children versus calcium lactate preparations.
