Characterizing and Predicting Outcomes in Critically Ill Patients Receiving Low or High Protein Doses with Moderate Energy Support: A Retrospective Study

Our results show that in patients with moderate energy support and low protein administration, survivors were younger, with a lower APACHE II score, mainly suffering from trauma and without renal failure. In the patients receiving high protein support, younger patients with a high BMI not suffering from sepsis were more likely to survive. We suggest confirming these findings with prospective RCTs.
