Identifying critically ill patients who benefit the most from nutrition therapy: the development and initial validation of a novel risk assessment tool
TLDR
This scoring algorithm may be helpful in identifying critically ill patients most likely to benefit from aggressive nutrition therapy in the intensive care unit (ICU), and based on the statistical significance in the multivariable model, the final score used all candidate variables except BMI.Abstract:
To develop a scoring method for quantifying nutrition risk in the intensive care unit (ICU). A prospective, observational study of patients expected to stay > 24 hours. We collected data for key variables considered for inclusion in the score which included: age, baseline APACHE II, baseline SOFA score, number of comorbidities, days from hospital admission to ICU admission, Body Mass Index (BMI) < 20, estimated % oral intake in the week prior, weight loss in the last 3 months and serum interleukin-6 (IL-6), procalcitonin (PCT), and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels. Approximate quintiles of each variable were assigned points based on the strength of their association with 28 day mortality. A total of 597 patients were enrolled in this study. Based on the statistical significance in the multivariable model, the final score used all candidate variables except BMI, CRP, PCT, estimated percentage oral intake and weight loss. As the score increased, so did mortality rate and duration of mechanical ventilation. Logistic regression demonstrated that nutritional adequacy modifies the association between the score and 28 day mortality (p = 0.01). This scoring algorithm may be helpful in identifying critically ill patients most likely to benefit from aggressive nutrition therapy.read more

Does artificial nutrition improve outcome of critical illness? An alternative viewpoint!
TL;DR: It is concluded without question that more, high-quality research is needed to better define the role of artificial nutrition in the critical care setting, but until then early and adequate delivery of enteral nutrition is a legitimate, evidence- based treatment recommendation and there is no evidence-based role for restrictingEnteral nutrition in critically ill patients.

Critical care nutrition support research: lessons learned from recent trials.
TL;DR: Future trials of nutrition support in the ICU, such as the TOP UP study, should include only ‘high-risk’ patients and should evaluate a broader range of outcomes than traditional ICU outcomes (28-day mortality, ventilator- free days, organ failure-free days, etc.).
