A study published in Critical Care found that both underfeeding and overfeeding ICU patients are associated with increased mortality. The research, involving 1171 patients, revealed a significant non-linear relationship between administered calories and mortality, with increased protein intake linked to decreased mortality. The authors emphasize the need for accurate resting energy expenditure measurements to set caloric goals in critical care settings.
