Protein precision: new study aims to improve muscle health in the ICU
NCT ID NCT07312708
First seen Jan 03, 2026 · Last updated May 30, 2026 · Updated 24 times
Summary
This study looks at 620 critically ill patients in the ICU to see if calculating protein needs based on lean body mass (instead of total body weight) leads to better recovery and muscle preservation. Researchers will compare two groups: one that received protein based on actual body weight and another based on fat-free mass. The goal is to find out which method reduces death rates, shortens hospital stays, and maintains muscle strength.
