TL;DR: Patients admitted to ICU with a TBI have energy and protein deficits that persist after ICU discharge, leading to considerable shortfalls over the entire hospitalization, and patients ingesting nutrition orally are at particular risk of energy deficit.

TL;DR: This narrative review aims to provide a comprehensive synthesis and interpretation of the adult critical care nutrition literature, with a particular focus on continuing practice gaps and areas with new data, to assist clinicians in making practical, yet evidence-based decisions regarding nutrition management during the different stages of critical illness.

TL;DR: Australian and New Zealand clinicians are provided with guidance on managing critically and acutely unwell adult patients hospitalised with COVID‐19 and how to manage the aforementioned aspects when providing nutrition support to patients during the SARS‐CoV‐2 pandemic.

TL;DR: Nutritional deficits are commonplace in critically ill head-injured patients and these deficits are associated with a delay to discharge alive, and a greater energy and protein deficit was associated with longer times until discharge alive from both ICU and hospital.

TL;DR: Patients with a TBI lose muscle thickness while in the ICU but the trajectory of loss stabilises after ICU discharge, and ultrasound measurement of QMLT is a useful surrogate measure of muscle mass and functional outcomes after trauma and critical illness.
