Background: Predictive equations often inaccurately estimate energy needs in critically ill patients. This study evaluated the level of agreement between resting energy expenditure using 12 and 25 kcal/kg as recommended by the 2021 American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition critical care guidelines for nutrition support and energy expenditure measured by indirect calorimetry in patients in the intensive care unit.

Methods: An agreement study was conducted on mechanically ventilated adults who had a documented measured energy expenditure within 10 days of intensive care unit admission.

Background: Distal radial fractures are the most common upper extremity fractures. Volar locking plate fixation has become the standard surgical treatment, providing stable angular fixation, early rehabilitation, and effective support for comminuted and osteopenic bones. This study aimed to analyze the incidence and causes of major complications requiring secondary surgeries following volar plating for distal radial fractures and to investigate the correlation between demographic factors and postoperative outcomes, including major complications and reoperation.
