Can better nutrition help ventilator patients survive?
NCT ID NCT07484126
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks back at medical records from 2,000 adults on breathing machines in the ICU. Researchers want to understand how nutrition-related blood tests change over time and how they relate to patient outcomes like survival and length of hospital stay. The goal is to build a model that helps doctors give the right nutrition to each patient.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * age ≥18 years old; * ICU admission ≥72 hours with invasive mechanical ventilation ≥24 hours; * start nutrition therapy within 72 hours after ICU admission and receive enteral or parenteral nutrition support for ≥3 days; * Relatively complete nutritional intervention records and nutrition-related biomarkers test results on the 1st, 3rd, and 7th (±1) days of ICU admission; Exclusion Criteria: * women of childbearing age who have a positive pregnancy test, are pregnant or lactating; * chronic diseases with serious organ function damage or serious complications; 1. Kidney: chronic kidney disease stage 4 or 5; 2. Liver: previous history of liver failure, hepatic encephalopathy, or hepatic coma, gastrointestinal bleeding due to portal hypertension or Child-Pugh score ≥10 in recent years; * advanced malignant tumor, or chemotherapy or immunotherapy received within one month before admission; * severe immunodeficiency or current use of potent immunosuppressive agents, agranulocytosis (N\<0.5×10\^9/L), active hematologic malignancies or HIV stage III infection; Patients who were treated with immune-inducing drugs, such as antithymocyte globulin (ATG), antilymphocyte globulin (ALG), interleukin-2 receptor a chain antibody (IL-2RA), interleukin-6 receptor A antibody (IL-6RA); glucocorticoid therapy was continued for nearly 2 weeks, with a daily dose exceeding the hydrocortisone equivalent of 200mg; * critical illness, death in ICU within 1 week or palliative care only because death outcome was inevitable; * combined with severe or more severe burns: more than 30% of total body surface area burned or more than 10% of third-degree burn area; Or the total area is less than 30%, but the whole body condition is severe, or there are shock, combined injury, and respiratory tract burn.
