Estimates of resting energy expenditure using predictive equations in adults with severe burns: A systematic review and meta-analysis

CONCLUSION: For adult patients with severe burns, all of the commonly used equations for the prediction of REE are inaccurate. It is recommended to use IC for accurate REE measurements and to use the Toronto equation, 1.5HB equation, or Ireton-Jones equation as a reference when IC is not available. Further studies are needed to propose more accurate REE predictive models.PMID:38409876 | DOI:10.1002/jpen.2617
