Personalized Nutritional Formula for ICU Patients: A Study on Prognosis and Multidimensional Health Markers

Sponsor: Chinese Medical Association

Summary

This study aims to evaluate the effects of an individualized enteral nutrition formula on clinical outcomes in critically ill adult patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: the individualized nutrition group or the standard nutrition group. In the individualized group, the total daily amount of enteral nutrition will be calculated and adjusted daily based on the patient's resting energy expenditure (measured by indirect calorimetry) and serum protein levels. In the standard group, a fixed-dose formula will be administered according to routine clinical protocols recommended by current guidelines. The intervention will be initiated within 48 hours of ICU admission and continued for up to 14 days or until ICU discharge. The study will assess clinical prognosis, as well as changes in gut and pulmonary microbiota, serum metabolomics, and macronutrient balance. The findings may provide evidence for personalized nutrition strategies in critically ill patients.
