NCT06849011

Brief Summary

The study aims to develop and validate a prognostic prediction model for adverse outcomes in neurocritical patients receiving enteral nutrition based on key inflammatory and metabolic markers. This model will serve as a clinical tool to help physicians identify high-risk patients and guide individualized nutritional support strategies.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • All-cause mortality at Day 28 of enteral nutrition therapy

    From enrollment to 28 days after the initiation of enteral nutrition

Secondary Outcomes (12)

  • Nutritional goal achievement rate at Day 3 (caloric and protein intake reaching 70%-100% of calculated target)

    At Day 3 after the initiation of enteral nutrition

  • Adverse outcome rate at Day 90 (defined as a Modified Rankin Scale score ≥ 3)

    At Day 90 after the initiation of enteral nutrition

  • Incidence of infectious complications within 14 days (including pneumonia, urinary tract infections, bloodstream infections, skin infections, and Clostridium difficile infections)

    Within 14 days after the initiation of enteral nutrition

  • Gastrointestinal intolerance within 14 days (gastric residual volume > 200 mL, nausea, vomiting, bloating, diarrhea)

    Within 14 days after the initiation of enteral nutrition

  • Incidence of gastrointestinal bleeding within 14 days (gastric occult blood, fecal occult blood, hematemesis, melena, hematochezia)

    Within 14 days after the initiation of enteral nutrition

  • +7 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (5)

mild Inflammation & Metabolic dysfunction

First, a predictive model for poor prognosis is constructed through screening of independent variables after data collection. Then, stratified analysis is conducted with inflammatory markers such as C-reactive protein and interleukin-6, and metabolic markers such as blood glucose and insulin dosage.

Moderate Inflammation & Metabolic Dysregulation

First, a predictive model for poor prognosis is constructed through screening of independent variables after data collection. Then, stratified analysis is conducted with inflammatory markers such as C-reactive protein and interleukin-6, and metabolic markers such as blood glucose and insulin dosage.

High Inflammation & Severe Metabolic Dysregulation

First, a predictive model for poor prognosis is constructed through screening of independent variables after data collection. Then, stratified analysis is conducted with inflammatory markers such as C-reactive protein and interleukin-6, and metabolic markers such as blood glucose and insulin dosage.

Peptide-Based Nutrition

Select patients who received peptide-based formulas from the entire database for poor prognosis analysis.

Whole Protein Nutrition

Select patients who received whole protein formulas from the database for poor prognosis analysis.

Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

The study population consists of critically ill neurocritical patients in the acute phase who are receiving enteral nutrition (EN) treatment in the Neurocritical Care Unit (NICU).

You may qualify if:

  • Age between 18 and 80 years, no gender restrictions.
  • Within 7 days of disease onset and expected NICU stay of at least 7 days.
  • Eligible for enrollment within 24 hours of NICU admission, with enteral nutrition (EN) initiated and continued for at least 7 days.
  • Non-traumatic severe brain injury patients (including cerebrovascular disease and encephalitis) with a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score ≤12.
  • NRS 2002 score ≥3.
  • Kuwata drinking test ≥ grade 3.
  • Acute Gastrointestinal Injury (AGI) grade 1 or 2.
  • Signed informed consent obtained from the patient or their legal representative.

You may not qualify if:

  • Severe malnutrition prior to admission, defined as BMI \< 16 kg/m².
  • Pregnant or lactating women.
  • Receiving hypothermia treatment or core body temperature \< 36°C.
  • End-stage disease with an expected survival time of \< 48 hours, or severe dysfunction of the heart, lungs, or other vital organs, leading to hemodynamic instability.
  • Malignant tumors.
