Department of Pediatric Intensive Care, Faculty of Medicine, Mugla Sitki Kocman University, Mugla 48000, Türkiye.
Background: The inability to ensure adequate nutrition for patients, and failure to provide adequate calorie and protein intake, result in malnutrition, leading to increased morbidity and mortality.

Methods: Included in this multicenter prospective study were patients receiving enteral nutrition via a tube who were followed up over a 3-month period.
