Background: Modified Nutrition Risk in the Critically Ill (m-NUTRIC) score is used to evaluate the nutritional risk of patients in intensive care units (ICUs). This study aimed to investigate whether m-NUTRIC can be used as a predictive factor related to the outcome of patients in surgical ICU (SICU) and to identify which patients will benefit from aggressive nutritional intervention according to the results of m-NUTRIC score.
Methods: A total of 205 patients who were admitted to surgical ICU (SICU) with ventilator use for more than 24 hours were enrolled. The m-NUTRIC score data were calculated the day when the patients were admitted to SICU. Patients were divided into two groups according to their m-NUTRIC score: the low-risk group (<5 points, 116 patients) and the high risk group (≥5 points, 89 patients).
Results: In this study, a total of 205 patients were enrolled for analysis, including patients in the low-risk group (n = 116) and those in the high risk group (n = 89). The mean duration of ventilator use was 3.6 ± 6.5 days, and average SICU stays for all patients was 5.1 ± 7.4 days. The SICU mortality was significantly higher in the high-risk group (10.3% vs 1.7%). Comparison between survivals and nonsurvivals was carried out, and the data showed that the AKI, Vasopressors, SOFA, APACHE-II, m-NUTRIC score, and shock patient were all significantly associated with higher mortality. The multivariate analysis revealed that acute kidney injury (OR = 13.16; 95% confidence intervals = 3.69-46.92; p < 0.0001) and m-NUTRIC score were independent factors of ICU mortality in these patients. A receiver operating characteristic curve was used to calculate the area under the curve, which was 0.801. The data indicated that high m-NUTRIC score were significantly associated with SICU mortality with the cutoff score > 4 (sensitivity = 90.5%, specificity = 62.3%, p < 0.001).
Conclusion: We found in this study that the high m-NUTRIC score is an independent factor of ICU mortality, and m-NUTRIC score can be used as an initial screening tool for nutritional assessment in patients admitted to surgical ICU. Further investigations to evaluate whether the aggressive nutritional intervention would be beneficial in the SICU patients with higher m-NUTRIC score is mandatory.

Relation between nutritional status on clinical outcomes of critically ill patients: emphasizing nutritional screening tools in a prospective cohort investigation.

Background: Malnutrition is a significant concern reported in adult critically ill patients, yet there is no gold standard to assess nutritional status in this population. This study examines the association between nutritional status and clinical outcomes in intensive care unit (ICU) patients using nutritional risk assessment tools and aims to look for the best tool.
Method: In a single-center prospective cohort study among 165 patients, the predictive performance of high or low malnutrition risk assessed by Nutritional Risk Screening (NRS), Modified Nutrition Risk in Critically Ill (m-NUTRIC), Mini-Nutritional-Assessment Short-Form (MNA-SF), Controlling Nutritional status (CONUT), and Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) were evaluated and compared for mortality, organ failure, length of hospitalization, and mechanical ventilation (MV).

Background: The modified NUTRIC (nutritional risk in the critically ill) score has been reported to predict clinical outcomes in critically ill patients. However, the applicability of this score may differ between patients undergoing short-term mechanical ventilation (STMV, < 96 h) and those undergoing prolonged acute mechanical ventilation (PAMV, ⩾96 h), as PAMV patients typically experience significantly higher morbidity and mortality.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the predictive ability of modified NUTRIC score for predicting 28-day mortality in patients receiving STMV and PAMV.

Introduction: Early enteral nutrition (EN) is a nutritional strategy for reducing the incidence of in-hospital infections. However, the benefits of early EN, under targeted temperature management (TTM) in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), remain unclear. We aimed to evaluate the effect of early EN on the infective complications of OHCA patients who underwent TTM.

Aims And Objectives: Different severity scores are being used to assess outcomes in intensive care unit, but variable data had been reported so far per their performance. Main objective of this study is to compare performance of acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II (APACHE II), sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA), and modified nutrition risk in critically ill (mNUTRIC) scoring systems regarding the outcomes in the form of morbidity and mortality in medical intensive care unit (MICU) at rural tertiary-care health center.
Materials And Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 1,990 patients older than 18 years admitted in the ICU were enrolled.
