The Effect of Higher Protein Dosing in Critically Ill Patients: A Multicenter Registry-based Randomized Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Usual Protein/Amino Acid Group and Higher Protein/Amino Acid Group for Critical Illness and Malnutrition. Completed, enrolled 1,329 participants across 86 sites in 16 countries.
Detailed Summary
The investigator will investigate the effects of higher protein/amino acid dosing (≥2.2 g/kg/d) vs usual protein/amino acid dosing (≤1.2 g/kg/d) on clinical outcomes in nutritionally high risk ill patients.

Timeline
Interventions
Protein targets will be set using pre-ICU dry actual weight. For patients with BMI \>30, ideal body weight based on a BMI of 25 will be used. We will endorse the guidelines for energy targets set forth by ASPEN/SCCM, especially as it pertains to the obese patient.
