NCT01531335

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to compare two nutritional regimes in critically ill patients. Patients will be randomized to standard care (25 kcal per kg) or to hypocaloric nutrition (15 kcal per kg). The main outcome will be the SOFA (sequential organ failure assessment) score. The hypothesis is that hypocaloric hyperproteic diet decreases the incidence of organic failure in these patients.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • SOFA (Sequential Organ Failure Assessment) Score

    SOFA score evaluates six systems: respiratory, cardiovascular, coagulation, Central Nervous System, liver and renal. Each system gets a score from 0 (normal) to 4 (abnormal) and the sum of each score defines the final SOFA score, which 24 is the maximum score (high risk of morality) and 0 is the minimum score (low risk of mortality).

    48 hours since nutritional regime starts

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Insulin Requirements

    Daily until day 21 or discharge from ICU

Study Arms (2)

Standard care

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Patients will receive normal nutritional regime of around 25 kcal per kg.
