Malnutrition is very common in critically ill patients. It is quite important to evaluate nutritional status precisely. Heyland et al firstly reported NUTRIC score including age, APACHE II score, SOFA score, number of commorbidities, days from hospital to ICU admission and IL-6. Because the IL-6 is not routinely checked at ICU. A modified NUTRIC score without IL-6 is more practical. Previous studies showed lower in-hospital mortality in higher nutritional risk patients with higher caloric intake compared with lower caloric intake. However, there is still controversial regarding the in-hospital mortality between full caloric feeding and permissive underfeeding in critically ill patients. Herein the investigators conduct a study to investigate what kinds of nutritional supplements will decrease in-hospital mortality in different nutritional risk patients.

Started Dec 2017 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for May 2020, 29 months after the start.
Of 400 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Critical Illness, half reached primary completion within 21 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 12 and three quarters within 40. This study's planned 29 months is above that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 404 studies reached it within 21 months; a quarter within 12 and three quarters within 40.
Critical Illness covers many different conditions, not one, so the studies compared here vary widely. Read these figures as a rough guide.
