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

TL;DR: The NUTric score was seen to be superior to the mNUTRIC score, and when IL-6 cannot be examined, themNUTIC score can be considered safe and effective for the prediction of mortality in COVID-19 patients.

Elderly Patients and Management in Intensive Care Units (ICU): Clinical Challenges
TL;DR: In this paper , a review highlights some of these aging processes and discusses clinical implications in the vulnerable older population and other considerations when caring for these older patients in the ICU include functional outcomes and morbidity, as opposed to merely focusing on mortality.

Practical parameters that can be used for nutritional assessment in patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit with the diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
TL;DR: The PNI cut-off value for nutritional assessment in patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit due to COPD was determined as 38.5 in this study, and NLR, PLR, LMR, basophil and lymphocyte values, which can be calculated using complete blood count parameters, may be useful in the evaluation of nutritional status in these patients.
