  • Assessment
    In stable, acute care patients, what are the energy measurement differences between measurements performed on the same individual receiving continuous enteral nutrition feeding, assuming resting conditions are followed?
    • Conclusion

      One study using a face mask gas collection device and of moderate research design quality reports a 6±0.9 (SEM) % average (range: 2.0 to 13.6%) within subject coefficient of variation in 14 healthy individuals (8M; 6 F, age range 19-51 y) using repeated RMR measures (i.e., between 5-8 measurements/individual) over 8 hours while receiving 2 ½ to 3 times RMR in a continuous enteral nutrition feeding.

    • 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.
    In stable, acute care patients, what are the energy measurement differences between measurements performed on the same individual using repeated RMR fasting morning and post-absorptive measures, assuming resting conditions are followed?
    • Conclusion

      There were no studies reporting within-subject coefficient of variation using repeated RMR fasting morning and post-absorptive (I.e., >/= 4 hours after eating) measures in stable, acute care patients.

    • Grade: V
      • 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.
    In stable, acute care patients, what are the group mean energy measurement differences between measurements performed on the same individual using repeated RMR fasting morning and post-absorptive measures, assuming resting conditions are followed?
    • Conclusion

      There were no studies reporting group mean variation using repeated RMR fasting morning and post-absorptive (I.e., >/= 4 hours after eating) measures in stable, acute care patients.
