Summary

An observational, point-prevalence cohort study of nutrition therapies in critically ill children in PICUs across the world. Baseline information will be collected including PICU and hospital demographics and characteristics (e.g. age, diagnostic category, PRISM score, weight, height) of critically ill children requiring mechanical ventilation in the PICU. Nutrition practices such as route of nutrition, kilocalorie and protein levels prescribed and received, interruptions, etc., will be collected on a daily basis from PICU admission onwards, for a maximum of 10 days. Data on clinical outcomes (e.g. duration of mechanical ventilation, PICU stay, hospital stay, acquired infections) will be collected up to 60 days after admission to the PICU. The main objective of the study is to examine the association between energy and protein intake adequacy (in relation to the prescribed goals for these nutrients) and 60-day mortality in mechanically ventilated children.
