Effects of arginine‐enriched enteral nutrition on clinical outcomes with infectious events and muscle volume in critically ill patients: A systematic review and meta‐analysis
Arginine-enriched EN may not exert beneficial effects on the incidence of infection or other outcomes. However, because no studies have examined the administration of arginine alone and few RCTs investigated physical outcomes, such as muscle volume and physical function, further research is warranted.
