Abstract:
The nutritional status affects the factors of patient outcome such as the therapeutic intervention, the length of hospitalization and prognosis. Personalization of nutritional support treatments can minimize the complications that may arise from overfeeding and underfeeding. Appropriate nutritional support requires an individual nutrition assessment based on each patient's caloric and regularly monitored respiratory quotient to accommodate continuing changes in the patient's condition.
