Introduction: The NUTRIC score was proposed to assess the risk of adverse events potentially modifiable through nutritional intervention in critically ill patients. This score uses interleukin-6 (IL-6), a biomarker not always available.
Objective: To study two variants of the score in patients with assisted mechanical ventilation (AMV): NUTRIC-1 without IL-6 and NUTRIC-2 with CRP as biomarker.
