Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute muscle wasting is common in critically ill patients, and this can lead to unfavorable clinical outcomes. The aim of this study was to identify factors associated with muscle wasting and to investigate the association between skeletal muscle wasting and prolonged hospital stay in critically ill patients with acute brain injury. METHODS This single-center prospective observational study was conducted in critically ill patients with acute brain injury who stayed in the intensive care unit for at least 1 week. The rectus femoris cross-sectional area was measured via ultrasound at baseline and a week after the first assessment. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify factors that predicted prolonged hospital stay. RESULTS A total of 86 patients were included in the study. Their mean age was 49.4 ± 16.9 years, 57% were male, and 46.5% had an admission diagnosis of subarachnoid hemorrhage. The percentage change in the rectus femoris cross-sectional area was 15.8% (95% confidence interval [CI] - 19.8% to - 12.0%; p < 0.001), and 57% of all patients had acute muscle wasting. According to the univariate analysis, there was a significant association between prolonged hospital stay and acute muscle wasting (odds ratio [OR] 3.677; 95% CI 1.487-9.043; p = 0.005), mechanical ventilation status (OR 3.600; 95% CI 1.455-8.904; p = 0.006), and Glasgow Coma Scale score (OR 0.888; 95% CI 0.808-0.976; p = 0.014) at intensive care unit admission. The multivariate analysis demonstrated that acute muscle wasting (OR 3.449; 95% CI 1.344-8.853; p = 0.010) was an independent risk factor for prolonged hospital stay. CONCLUSIONS There was considerable muscle wasting in critically ill patients with brain injuries over a 1-week period. Acute muscle wasting was associated with prolonged hospital stay in critically ill patients with acute brain injury.

Mateu-de Antonio J, de Antonio-Cuscó M. Comparison of two isocaloric parenteral nutrition regimens with different protein content - A propensity-score matched comparative study. NUTR HOSP 2024.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE this study aimed to assess the effects of two isocaloric parenteral nutrition (PN) regimens with different protein content and non-protein calorie to nitrogen ratio (NPCNR) on the evolution of nutritional parameters and outcomes in adult inpatients. METHODS this was a retrospective quasi-experimental study performed in a 400-bed tertiary hospital. Adult inpatients were initially eligible if they had received ≥ 4 days of PN with NPCNR ≥ 100 or ≤ 90 in a period of three years. Patients were propensity-score matched to adjust for differences, resulting in two final cohorts: Cohort "Medium-P" included patients receiving PN with NCPCNR ≥ 100 and cohort "High-P", receiving PN with NCPCNR ≤ 90. The main variables were differences in plasma albumin, prealbumin, cholesterol, and lymphocyte count, days requiring PN, length of stay, and mortality at 90 days. RESULTS 202 patients were finally recruited and divided into the two equal cohorts. Patients were mainly male (122; 60.4 %), surgical (149; 73.8 %), critically ill (100; 49.5 %), with high nutritional risk (141; 69.8 %) and with a neoplasm (145; 71.8 %). PN provided 25 kcal/kg/day, but protein intake was 0.25 g/kg/day higher in the "High-P" cohort. Baseline characteristics and biochemistry were not different between the two cohorts. The "High-P" cohort presented a smaller difference at the end of PN for lymphocytes, more days with hyperglycaemia, and more days requiring PN. The rest of variables did not differ. CONCLUSIONS high doses of protein (lower NPCNR) did not present advantages compared to medium doses of protein (higher NPCNR) when providing isocaloric PN in adult inpatients.

[PMID: 38424645 PMCID: PMC10902959 DOI: 10.1186/s40560-024-00724-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2023] [Accepted: 02/17/2024] [Indexed: 03/02/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND As advancements in critical care medicine continue to improve Intensive Care Unit (ICU) survival rates, clinical and research attention is urgently shifting toward improving the quality of survival. Post-Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS) is a complex constellation of physical, cognitive, and mental dysfunctions that severely impact patients' lives after hospital discharge. This review provides a comprehensive and multi-dimensional summary of the current evidence and practice of exercise therapy (ET) during and after an ICU admission to prevent and manage the various domains of PICS. The review aims to elucidate the evidence of the mechanisms and effects of ET in ICU rehabilitation and highlight that suboptimal clinical and functional outcomes of ICU patients is a growing public health concern that needs to be urgently addressed. MAIN BODY This review commences with a brief overview of the current relationship between PICS and ET, describing the latest research on this topic. It subsequently summarises the use of ET in ICU, hospital wards, and post-hospital discharge, illuminating the problematic transition between these settings. The following chapters focus on the effects of ET on physical, cognitive, and mental function, detailing the multi-faceted biological and pathophysiological mechanisms of dysfunctions and the benefits of ET in all three domains. This is followed by a chapter focusing on co-interventions and how to maximise and enhance the effect of ET, outlining practical strategies for how to optimise the effectiveness of ET. The review next describes several emerging technologies that have been introduced/suggested to augment and support the provision of ET during and after ICU admission. Lastly, the review discusses future research directions. CONCLUSION PICS is a growing global healthcare concern. This review aims to guide clinicians, researchers, policymakers, and healthcare providers in utilising ET as a therapeutic and preventive measure for patients during and after an ICU admission to address this problem. An improved understanding of the effectiveness of ET and the clinical and research gaps that needs to be urgently addressed will greatly assist clinicians in their efforts to rehabilitate ICU survivors, improving patients' quality of survival and helping them return to their normal lives after hospital discharge.

Relationship between critical care nutrition and post-intensive care syndrome in surviving ventilated patients with COVID-19: a multicenter prospective observational study. J Clin Biochem Nutr 2024; 74:74-81. [PMID: 38292118 PMCID: PMC10822758 DOI: 10.3164/jcbn.23-66] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2023] [Accepted: 08/08/2023] [Indexed: 02/01/2024] Open
Abstract
The impact of nutrition therapy in the acute phase on post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) remains unclear. We conducted a multicenter prospective study on adult patients with COVID-19 who required mechanical ventilation for more than three days. The questionnaire was mailed after discharge. Physical PICS, defined as less than 90 points on the Barthel index (BI), was assigned as the primary outcome. We examined the types of nutrition therapy in the first week that affected PICS components. 269 eligible patients were evaluated 10 months after discharge. Supplemental parenteral nutrition (SPN) >400 kcal/day correlated with a lower occurrence of physical PICS (10% vs 21.92%, p = 0.042), whereas the amounts of energy and protein provided, early enteral nutrition, and a gradual increase in nutrition delivery did not, and none correlated with cognitive or mental PICS. A multivariable regression analysis revealed that SPN had an independent impact on physical PICS (odds ratio 0.33, 95% CI 0.12-0.92, p = 0.034), even after adjustments for age, sex, body mass index and severity. Protein provision ≥1.2 g/kg/day was associated with a lower occurrence of physical PICS (odds ratio 0.42, 95% CI 0.16-1.08, p = 0.071). In conclusion, SPN in the acute phase had a positive impact on physical PICS for ventilated patients with COVID-19.
