Abstract

Background: Adequate nutrition therapy in critically ill patients poses a challenge because of the variable energy and substrate needs. The objective was to investigate whether nutrition therapy involving indirect calorimetry (IC), instead of equations for assessment of energy needs, could improve the nutrition status of critically ill patients. Methods: Forty mechanically ventilated patients were randomized into a group in which energy needs were controlled by calorimetry (IC group) and a group treated with a formula‐based approach reflecting standard care (SC group). The primary outcome was change in the phase angle (PhA), a bioelectrical impedance parameter related to nutrition status and prognosis. Results: The mean IC‐based energy requirement was lower than the formula‐based estimate (21.1 ± 6.4 versus [vs] 25 kcal/kg/d, P < .01). The IC group reached 98% ± 8% of the energy goal, whereas the SC group reached only 79% ± 29% (P < 0.05), although mean intake was similar in both groups. The protein intake goal was better met in the IC group (91% ± 24%) than the SC group (73% ± 33%). The PhA of the IC group did not change during treatment, whereas that of the SC group tended to decrease by 0.36° ± 0.86° (P = .077). A shorter length of stay in intensive care was observed in the IC than in the SC group (13 ± 8 vs 24 ± 20 days, P < .05). Conclusion: Intensified individual nutrition therapy involving IC appears to be useful for improving nutrition status in critically ill patients.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
