Association Between Dynamic Prealbumin Trajectories and Prognosis in Critically Ill Patients
Sponsor: The First Hospital of Jilin University
Summary
Nutritional support therapy is a crucial part of ICU patient care, as both malnutrition and overnutrition can lead to adverse clinical outcomes. Meticulous monitoring of nutritional support is essential. Unfortunately, to date, there are no biomarkers available to assess the appropriateness of nutritional support in the ICU setting. However, mounting evidence suggests that phenotypic analysis of patients using nutritional biomarkers or risk screening scores for adaptation may enhance our ability to characterize patients in terms of prognosis and likelihood of treatment response. This study aims to identify the trajectory patterns of prealbumin changes based on dynamic monitoring data of prealbumin during hospitalization of critically ill patients, and to analyze the Association between different trajectory groups and patient prognosis. In addition, this study will further analyze its Association with nutritional intake and nutritional indicators, thereby assessing the potential value of prealbumin change trajectories in terms of the adequacy and effectiveness of nutritional support for critically ill patients.
