Highlights in the clinical nutrition literature: A critical appraisal of current research
Open accessAbstract
Within the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN), the Physician Engagement Committee (PEC) was created in 2017 by the ASPEN Board of Directors with the goal of growing the physician community both nationally and internationally. The PEC meets each month throughout the year to develop educational and research initiatives. In 2022, the PEC began an initiative to systematically review and evaluate practice‐changing literature annually with the overall aim to highlight these studies at the annual ASPEN conferences and to critically discuss the potential clinical implications. The objective of the held meeting session was to present identified key papers in the fields of critical care medicine, gastroenterology and hepatology, and adult internal medicine that were published in 2022, which would complement the knowledge of the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and management of nutrition topics as well as to identify areas of future research. Overall, several large‐scale randomized controlled studies were identified in each of these sections, with practice‐changing major results. This manuscript summarizes the information that was presented and the discussions that followed.

The inclusion of renal function and micronutrient biomarkers aligns with ESPEN and ASPEN recommendations that advocate for multidimensional biochemical panels in clinical nutrition practice.
“The inclusion of renal function and micronutrient biomarkers aligns with current European Society of Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) [153] and American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN) [154] recommendations that advocate for multidimensional biochemical panels in clinical nutrition practice.”
From The Seven Methods for the Evaluation of Nutritional Status—ABCDEFG: Narrative Review (2026) · cites this paper as [154]
The Conclusion (page unavailable) highlights the importance of micronutrient and metabolomic data for certain patients, and the critical-care discussion says biomarkers may help monitor nutrition support. Neither passage states an ASPEN recommendation for a multidimensional biochemical panel that includes renal-function and micronutrient biomarkers. Searches for those panel components and for biochemical-monitoring recommendations found no such passage in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.72)

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.
