description | BACKGROUND: Adequate nutrition of critically ill patients plays a key role in the modulation of metabolic response to stress. OBJECTIVE: This paper presents the development of a protocol for a randomized controlled trial (RCT) aimed at comparing clinical outcomes of patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) administered with standard and protein-fortified diet. Together with the RCT study protocol, the results of the observational analysis conducted to assess the feasibility of the RCT are presented. METHODS: An RCT on adult patients admitted to ICU and undergoing mechanical ventilation in the absence of renal or hepatic failure will be conducted. Patients enrolled will be randomized with an allocation rate of 1:1 at standard diet versus protein-fortified diet. The estimated sample size is 19 per arm, for a total of 38 patients to be randomized. RESULTS: Enrollment began in January 2017. In the feasibility study, 14 patients were enrolled. Protein administration increased significantly (P<.001) over time but was significantly lower compared to that recommended (P<.001). Blood urea nitrogen significantly increased (P<.03) over the period of observation. Such increased catabolism resulted in negative cumulative nitrogen balance (NB) in all patients, and some patients presented with a more negative NB compared to the others. CONCLUSIONS: Results of the feasibility study clearly confirmed that protein provision in ICU patients is below that recommended and that this results in impaired NB. The emerging of an interindividual variability in NB will be further analyzed in the RCT.
