The Association between Malnutrition and High Protein Treatment on Outcomes in Critically Ill Patients: A Post Hoc Analysis of the EFFORT Protein Randomized Trial
Chest. 2024 Feb 12:S0012-3692(24)00154-5. doi: 10.1016/j.chest.2024.02.008. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Pre-existing malnutrition in critically ill patients is associated with adverse clinical outcomes. Malnutrition can be diagnosed with the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition using parameters such as weight loss, muscle wasting and body mass index. International critical care nutrition guidelines recommend high protein treatment to improve clinical outcomes in critically ill patients diagnosed with pre-existing malnutrition. However, this recommendation is based on expert opinion.RESEARCH QUESTIONS:...

Care of the dying is a core skill for ICU clinicians, requiring expert communication, primarily with family of critically ill patients.REVIEW FINDINGS: There is limited high-quality evidence to support specific practices related to the care of dying patients in the ICU, thus many of the recommendations that exist are based on expert opinion. There is value in sharing a...
