Prevalence of low blood vitamin levels in critically ill patients at intensive care unit admission: A cross-sectional study
Low blood vitamin levels and low dietary vitamin intake were common at ICU admission. Inflammation significantly affected circulating concentrations. Discordance between estimated intake and blood levels were frequent. Patients with multiple low blood vitamin levels had longer hospital trajectories. This study emphasizes the need for individual nutritional care in critical illness.
