Journal ArticleDOI
Optimal protein and energy nutrition decreases mortality in mechanically ventilated, critically ill patients: a prospective observational cohort study.
Peter J.M. Weijs,Peter J.M. Weijs,Sandra N. Stapel,Sabine D. W. de Groot,Ronald H. Driessen,Evelien de Jong,Armand R. J. Girbes,Rob J M Strack van Schijndel,Albertus Beishuizen +8 more
TL;DR: Optimal nutritional therapy in mechanically ventilated, critically ill patients, defined as protein and energy targets reached, is associated with a decrease in 28-day mortality by 50%, whereas only reaching energy targets is not associated withA reduction in mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Low skeletal muscle area is a risk factor for mortality in mechanically ventilated critically ill patients
Peter J.M. Weijs,Peter J.M. Weijs,Wilhelmus G. P. M. Looijaard,Ingeborg M. Dekker,Sandra N. Stapel,Armand R. J. Girbes,Heleen M. Oudemans-van Straaten,Albertus Beishuizen,Albertus Beishuizen +8 more
TL;DR: Low skeletal muscle area, as assessed by CT scan during the early stage of critical illness, is a risk factor for mortality in mechanically ventilated critically ill patients, independent of sex and APACHE II score.
Journal ArticleDOI
Early high protein intake is associated with low mortality and energy overfeeding with high mortality in non-septic mechanically ventilated critically ill patients
Peter J.M. Weijs,Peter J.M. Weijs,Wilhelmus G. P. M. Looijaard,Albertus Beishuizen,Albertus Beishuizen,Armand R. J. Girbes,Heleen M. Oudemans-van Straaten +6 more
TL;DR: In non-septic critically ill patients, early high protein intake was associated with lower mortality and early energy overfeeding with higher mortality and in septic patients early highprotein intake had no beneficial effect on mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of nutritional interventions on nutritional status, quality of life and mortality in patients with head and neck cancer receiving (chemo) radiotherapy: a systematic review
Jacqueline A.E. Langius,Myrna C. Zandbergen,Simone E. J. Eerenstein,Maurits W. van Tulder,C. René Leemans,Mark H. H. Kramer,Peter J.M. Weijs +6 more
TL;DR: This review shows beneficial effects of individualized dietary counseling on nutritional status and QoL, compared to no counseling or standard nutritional advice, and effects of ONS and tube feeding were inconsistent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Critical weight loss is a major prognostic indicator for disease-specific survival in patients with head and neck cancer receiving radiotherapy.
Jacqueline A.E. Langius,S. Bakker,Derek H. F. Rietveld,Hinke M. Kruizenga,Johannes A. Langendijk,Peter J.M. Weijs,Charles R. Leemans +6 more
TL;DR: Weight loss both before and during radiotherapy are important prognostic indicators for 5-year DSS in HNC patients and Randomised studies into the prognostic effect of nutritional intervention are needed.
