The effects of synbiotic supplementation on enteral feeding tolerance, protein homeostasis, and muscle wasting of critically ill adult patients: a randomized controlled trial

ConclusionOverall, it can be concluded that enteral nutrition supplemented with synbiotics has no statistically significant effect on energy and protein homeostasis and muscle mass maintenance of critically ill patients on day 14, but it can increase enteral feed volume and energy and protein intake during the first 4  days of ICU admission.Trial registrationThe trial protocol has been approved in Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials on March 17, 2019.
