Values are mean ± SE. Δ (change) = (8-week data) − (0-week data). pa values derived from the Mann–Whitney test between the ONS group and non-ONS group. * Wilcoxon signed rank test between 0 weeks (baseline) and 8 weeks (p < 0.05). Alb, albumin; T.P, total protein; Chol, cholesterol; ANC, absolute neutrophil count; TLC, total lymphocyte count; Hb, hemoglobin; Hct, hematocrit.
