Intervention
Is there evidence of harm for certain populations of patients when they receive over 70% of their enteral nutrition goal intake?
-
Conclusion
There is initial evidence in one trial of positive quality and one trial of neutral quality to suggest that achieving greater than 70% of goal intake may have less positive outcomes for medical ICU and surgical patients with obesity, when compared to individuals who received less EN.

Grade: III
- Grade I means there is Good/Strong evidence supporting the statement;
- Grade II is Fair;
- Grade III is Limited/Weak;
- Grade IV is Expert Opinion Only;
- Grade V is Not Assignable.
- High (A) means we are very confident that the true effect lies close to that of the estimate of the effect;
- Moderate (B) means we are moderately confident in the effect estimate;
- Low (C) means our confidence in the effect estimate is limited;
- Very Low (D) means we have very little confidence in the effect estimate.
- Ungraded means a grade is not assignable.

What average amount of enteral nutrition intake actually delivered is associated with improved mortality in critically ill patients?-
Conclusion
To date, studies evaluating average amount of EN intake actually delivered have not been adequately powered to detect differences in mortality in critically ill patients.

What average amount of enteral nutrition intake actually delivered is associated with fewer infectious complications in critically ill patients?-
Conclusion
Actual delivery of intake of approximately or 60-70% of EN goal in the first week of ICU admission, is associated with fewer infectious complications in critically ill patients, particularly when initiated within 48 hours of injury or admission.
