Assessment of Enteral Nutrition Adequacy in Patients Hospitalised in Adult Intensive Care Units: A Cross-Sectional Study

More than half of the patients did not meet the goals set for enteral nutrition therapy. A lower baseline NRS-2002 score and low energy requirements facilitated goal attainment. Patients with cardiac or neurological conditions were more likely to reach the target nutritional dose. However, those fed with hypercaloric products experienced more interruptions due to excess residue and achieved the nutritional target less frequently.
