Abstract
BACKGROUND Optimal nutritional support is essential to the recovery and improved outcomes of burn patients. This review aims to explore existing literature to evaluate nutrition assessment tools, feeding formulations' caloric predictive ability, timing of initiation of feeding, optimal nutritional composition, and caloric intake in burn patients. METHODS Three databases were searched to glean studies investigating nutrition in acute severe adult burn patient populations in four areas: outcomes based on feeding type and timing, the caloric predictability of nutritional assessment tools, outcomes associated with the composition of feeding formulas, and considerations related to caloric intake. Outcomes of interest included the effects of nutritional assessments using feeding type, nutritional administration timing, formula composition, and caloric intake on mortality rate, length of stay, and infection. RESULTS A total of 19 studies were included. Nutritional assessment tools were determined to over- or underestimate resting energy expenditure (REE). Milner was the most accurate alternative to indirect calorimetry. Early enteral nutrition in burn patients within 24 hours of admission was preferred. 5 studies evaluated micronutrients and yielded variable results. Low-fat high-carbohydrate diets were the ideal macronutrient composition. Burn patients were shown to receive lower caloric intake than recommended. CONCLUSIONS Findings showed that while nutritional assessment tools tend to inaccurately estimate REE in burn patients, the ideal alternative to indirect calorimetry is the Milner equation. Several new equations may be worthy alternatives but require further validation. Enteral feeding should be initiated within the first 24 hours of burn injury whenever possible and should contain a high-carbohydrate/low-fat composition.

Wang Y, Jiang J, Liu M, Liu H, Shen T, Han C, Wang X. Estimates of resting energy expenditure using predictive equations in adults with severe burns: A systematic review and meta-analysis. JPEN J Parenter Enteral Nutr 2024; 48:267-274. [PMID: 38409876 DOI: 10.1002/jpen.2617] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2023] [Revised: 02/05/2024] [Accepted: 02/05/2024] [Indexed: 02/28/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Many equations to estimate the resting energy expenditure (REE) of patients with burns are currently available, but which of them provides the best guide to optimize nutrition support is controversial. This review examined the bias and precision of commonly used equations in patients with severe burns. METHODS A systematic search of the PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases was undertaken on June 1, 2023, to identify studies comparing predicted REE (using equations) with measured REE (by indirect calorimetry [IC]) in adults with severe burns. Meta-analyses of bias and calculations of precisions were performed in each predictive equation, respectively. RESULTS Nine eligible studies and 12 eligible equations were included. Among the equations, the Toronto equation had the lowest bias (26.1 kcal/day; 95% CI, -417.0 to 469.2), followed by the Harris-Benedict equation × 1.5 (1.5HB) and the Milner equation. The Ireton-Jones equation (303.4 kcal/day; 95% CI, 224.5-382.3) acceptably overestimated the REE. The accuracy of all of the equations was <50%. The Ireton-Jones equation had the relatively highest precision (41.2%), followed by the 1.5HB equation (37.0%) and the Toronto equation (34.7%). CONCLUSION For adult patients with severe burns, all of the commonly used equations for the prediction of REE are inaccurate. It is recommended to use IC for accurate REE measurements and to use the Toronto equation, 1.5HB equation, or Ireton-Jones equation as a reference when IC is not available. Further studies are needed to propose more accurate REE predictive models.

[PMID: 37087943 DOI: 10.1016/j.nut.2023.112027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2022] [Revised: 02/28/2023] [Accepted: 03/01/2023] [Indexed: 03/18/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Burn patients are reportedly prone to complications, such as skeletal muscle wasting, anemia, and slow wound healing, during treatment, due to disease and metabolic depletion, which affect prognosis. Nutritional support is essential in treating burns and can significantly improve patient survival and reduce complications such as infection. This study aimed to perform a bibliometric analysis of the existing literature on nutritional support for burns and to explore possible future research trends. METHODS The literature related to nutritional support for burns from 1983 to 2022 was searched on Web of Science. The included literature was used for bibliometric analysis using VOSviewer and CiteSpace software. RESULTS There were 260 publications on nutritional support for burns. The United States contributes significantly to research in this area. The United States has the highest number of publications (n = 119) and citations (n = 4424). Nutrition support was the keyword with strongest burst intensity. A diet of ≥ 60% carbohydrates and 12% to 15% fat is suitable for burn patients, but the optimal ratios have not been fully determined. CONCLUSIONS An optimal nutritional support program is essential for treating burn patients. Individualized nutritional support programs are the trend in this field. At present, more rigorous multicenter prospective studies with large samples are needed to explore the optimal ratios for specific dietary programs, especially macronutrients, to achieve satisfactory nutritional support and improve patient prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to compare recommendations in the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN) Guidelines for the Provision and Assessment of Nutrition Support Therapy in the Adult Critically Ill Patient with measured energy expenditure in obese, critically ill adults. METHODS After enrollment, measured energy expenditure was attempted at baseline and twice weekly to extubation or day 14. Data are reported as median [interquartile range]. RESULTS Twenty patients were included. The median baseline and subsequent measured energy expenditures were 2438 [1807-2703] kcal and 2919 [2318-3362] kcal, respectively. Baseline measured energy expenditures were -491 [-788 to -323] kcal lower than subsequent measurements, and week 1 measurements were lower than those of week 2. The median bias between the guideline recommendation of 11-14 kcal/kg of actual body weight and measured expenditure at baseline was -950 [-1254 to -595] kcal/d and -1618 [-1820 to -866] kcal/d at subsequent measurements. CONCLUSION Clinically significant variation was observed between measured expenditure and guideline recommendations at all time points.
