Outline
incidence of underfeeding in the ICU
nutritional screening tools available for use in ICU
familiar with the novel approach used to assess the nutritional risk of critically ill patients and implications of this risk assessment for clinical practice
Does underfeeding in ICUs
exist?
Mean intake 56% International Nutrition Survey, n =211 ICUs
Purpose of Nutrition Screening
Predict the probability of a better or worse
outcome due to nutrition
SCREENINGMalnutrition
goes undetected
Guidelines ASPEN/SCCM 2009
Screening leads to Nutritional Care
Hospitals & healthcare organizations should have a policy and a specific set of protocols for identifying patients at nutritional risk. The following process is suggested:
Screening Assessment Monitoring & Outcome Communication Audit
Kondrup et al. Clin Nutr 22(4):415-421;2003.
• Underfeeding does occur in ICUs• Malnutrition: 30% ICU patients (SGA)
• Existing tools for nutrition screening
Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST)
Nutritional Risk Screening (NRS 2002)Nutritional Risk Screening (NRS 2002)Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA)
Short Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire (SNAQ)Malnutrition Screening Tool (MST)
Subjective Global Assessment (SGA)Subjective Global Assessment (SGA)
Anthony NCP 2008
All ICU patients treated the same
Subjective Global Assessment
When training provided in advance, SGA can produce reliable estimates of malnutrition
Note rates of missing data
(7-34%)
n = 119, > 65 yrs, mostly medical patients, not all ICU
no difference between well-nourished and malnourished patients with regard to the serum protein values on admission, LOS, and mortality rate
n = 124, mostly surgical patients100% data available for SGASGA predicted mortality
Quantify Lean Muscle Mass: CT Scan
• Body composition tools:– BIA, skin fold: low precision , DEXA: not specific, $$
• CTs becoming common research tool – Measures tissue mass and changes over time
50 geriatric trauma pts
prevalence of sarcopenia (low muscularity) on admission =78%
Despite the majority being overweight!
M. Mourtzakis et al
ICU patients are not all created equal…should we expect the impact of nutrition
therapy to be the same across all patients?
Malnutrition should be diagnosed on the basis of etiology…. inflammation acute vs
chronic
How do we figure out who will benefit the most from Nutrition
Therapy?
In the ICU…..
Caloric debt/underfeedingMalnutrition exists 34% or >Historical nutrition data n/a Not all patients equalConsider

A Conceptual Model for Nutrition Risk Assessment in the Critically ill
Objective
Develop a score using the variables in the model to
Quantify the risk of ICU pts developing adverse events that may be modified by nutrition
The Development of the NUTrition Risk in the Critically ill Score (NUTRIC Score)
• When adjusting for age, APACHE II, and SOFA, what effect of nutritional risk factors on clinical outcomes?
• Multi institutional data base of 598 patients (3 ICUs)
• Historical po intake and weight loss only available in 171 patients
• Outcome: 28 day vent-free days and mortality
What are the nutritional risk factors associated with mortality?

What are the nutritional risk factors associated with Vent Free days?
(validation of our candidate variables)
BMI: no effect on Vent free days
The Development of the NUTrition Risk in the Critically ill Score (NUTRIC Score)
• % oral intake in the week prior dichotomized into
– patients who reported less than 100%
– all other patients
• Weight loss was dichotomized as
– patients who reported any weight loss
– all other patients
• BMI was dichotomized as
– <20
– all others
• Comorbidities was left as integer values range 0-5

All other variables (Age, APACHE 2, SOFA, Comorbidities, LOS pre ICU, IL 6)
were categorized into five equal sized groups (quintiles)

BMI, CRP, PCT, weight loss, and oral intake were excluded because they were not significantly associated with mortality or their inclusion did not improve the fit of the final model.

Highest score pts, low nutrition is associated with higher mortality!!
Lowest score pts, more nutrition
may be associated with
higher mortality ?
Summarize: NUTRIC Score• NUTRIC Score (0-10) based on
– Age– APACHE II– SOFA– # comorbidities– Days in hospital pre ICU– IL 6
• High NUTRIC Score associated worse outcomes (mortality, ventilation)
• High NUTRIC Score benefit the most from nutrition• Low NUTRIC Score : harmful?
Applications of NUTRIC Score
• Help determine which patients will benefit more from nutrition– Supplemental PN– Aggressive feeding– Small bowel feeding
• Design & interpretation of future studies– Negative studies, non high risk, heterogenous patients
Limitations
• Applies only to macronutrients• Does not apply to pharmaconutrients• Nutritional history is suboptimal• Requires IL-6
Conclusion
• Iatrogenic underfeeding in ICUs exist• Nutrition Screening/audits* detect underfeeding• Existing Screening tools not helpful in ICU• Not all ICU patients are the same in terms of ‘risk’• NUTRIC Score is one way to quantify that risk and can
be used in your ICU• Further refinement of this tool will ensure that the right
patient gets nutrition
